Comparing Garden City removal bids on one written plan
Give every firm the same plan. The state labor department's model is simple: the owner passes the assessor's plan to each bidding remediation firm, and every bid then describes the same job. Check each license: the state publishes its mold contractor licenses as open data, and on the date we checked it listed 116 active licenses at business addresses in the 110 and 115 ZIP code areas. Permits for rebuilding afterwards go through the Village of Garden City's building department.
Same plan to every firm
If one bid describes different work, ask why. The plan is the job.
A license on the register
Look the firm up in the state's open data before signing. The remediation license and the assessment license are different.
An older house's hidden layers
Plaster, paneling and later drywall can sit over one another. The plan's moisture readings decide how deep the removal goes.

The New York State Department of Labor explains that the assessor must hand the client the mold remediation plan before cleanup begins, and that the client then gives that plan to the remediation contractors being considered so they can price the same work.

The New York State Department of Labor lists four exemptions from mold licensing: a residential owner working on their own property; a non residential owner or employee working on an apartment building of four or fewer units they own; an owner, managing agent or full time employee working on commercial property or an apartment building of more than four units the owner owns, if they do not do mold work for the public; and government units working on property they own, manage or remediate.

What mold remediation involves in Garden City
Choosing who removes the mold in a Garden City home
Remediation in a Garden City house follows the assessor's plan: the crew contains the area, removes the porous material with growth, cleans the framing and masonry that stay, and leaves the space for an independent clearance. Choosing the firm is the owner's call, and in this village the owner is nearly always the person living there. Census estimates put only 6.3 percent of Garden City's occupied homes as rented, with 35.5 percent of houses built in 1939 or earlier.

Garden City questions about hiring a removal firm
Can I do the removal myself in my own house?
Yes. New York exempts a residential owner working on their own property from mold licensing. Follow the plan's containment and disposal steps, and still have an independent assessor check the work if you want it documented.
Why do the bids differ if they price the same plan?
Labor, disposal and scheduling vary between firms. What should not vary is the scope. A bid that leaves out an area the plan lists is not a lower price for the same job.
