Capitol Mold takes the high pressure sales tactics used by large remediation companies, and replaces it with honest interactions. We complete honest and in depth analysis of each job and walk you through every step, with evidence. Available from start to finish, from Assessment to Remediation, we make all of it happen seamlessly. Our services includes Remediation and Assessments (Assessments are not completed for AIQ Test Requests, only for potential remediation) (IAQ Testing is better suited for professionals who only perform testing) Testing Minimums included 2 Air-O-Cell Tests ($440 Minimum not including the Control Test) We do work with insurance companies using XACTIMATE. Our Company is fully licensed and insured for Mold Remediation and Assessments. All standards are followed under NORMI Protocol.
"When a leak was fixed that has caused to water to seep through my floorboards, I learned that I likely had mold in the crawlspace area underneath the flooring. I opened this job on Saturday afternoon fully expecting that the necessary mold remediation would be expensive. Murray at CapitolMold responded right away and came the next day on Sunday morning. Murray assessed the situation and explained my options. To my relief, his assessment was that the mold damage was relatively minor. He quoted me for the work and also explained that because the damage was relatively minor, I could do the remediation myself. Murray took the time to explain in detail how to do the work and recommended the necessary materials. I was very impressed with his honesty and willingness to impart his expertise. I highly recommend CapitolMold. I will not hesitate to call them again in the future."

"We were VERY disappointed with this company on multiple levels. When I balked at the estimate for the hardwood floor work, their phone rep claimed the job included a 3-year warranty on the sealer. It did not. After setting up their equipment, they explained that cleaning the carpeted stairs would cost nearly as much as the 3 rooms they cleaned. Their truck ran the whole 2+ hours they were there, forcing me to stop painting the garage as I was choking on fumes. The next day I found small stains on the stairs which I cleaned. When I inspected the hardwood floors, the finish was very uneven – glossy in some areas and dull in others -- which means they applied only a single coat of sealer and that the work was done poorly. When I asked for the warranty paperwork, the response was “what warranty?” This property is a rental unit and the new tenants moved in two days after this Zerorez work was completed. Zerorez management offered to inspect the work and add more sealer to the hardwood, but now there was furniture and boxes in the rooms. They refunded part of the overpriced hardwood job and had no explanation for the lie about the sealer warranty. I don’t expect vendors to be perfect, but this was one too many problems for two simple tasks. While we appreciate the partial refund, I will never use this company again and cannot recommend them to anyone."

MoldGone is a full service mold inspection, air quality testing, remediation, and reconstruction company with over a decade of experience. Our inspectors and technicians carry the highest and most recognized certifications in the industry. Whether your are a residential or commercial customer seeking mold testing or remediation services you can be assured that the project will be professionally managed and properly certified. There are many companies that offer mold remediation - make sure that the company you choose has an industry recognized mold remediation or inspection certification such as the American Council of Accredited Certification (ACAC) or equivalent. MoldGone is unsurpassed in its commitment to customer service excellence, provision of only the highest caliber service, and providing unsurpassed value in every project or inspection delivered. MoldGone's customers have ranged from the residential homeowner to private schools and churches. In fact, when the Sisters at a private Catholic girls school in the Washington, D.C. area needed a company to treat mold in the Sister's private archive room, complete with 100 year-old manuscripts, they entrusted MoldGone, LLC to do the project. On another project that involved removing mold from a 30 foot ceiling above a filled indoor pool, when the scaffolding company wanted several thousand dollars to build the necessary scaffold to reach the treatment area MoldGone built its own providing the customer significant savings. At MoldGone, LLC. we constantly strive to find the most cost effective way to fully address each and every mold condition. MoldGone technicians are trained specifically for mold treatment and remediation. They are also required to have construction experience since many of our projects involve demolition and reconstruction. Technicians are held to the utmost highest levels of quality with each project receiving a thorough walkthrough by management before it is deemed complete.
"MoldGone was somewhat hard to deal with but ultimately agreed to work on this until the air was normal and they had good reviews so I hired them. They did the first treatment and I had an air test done. It showed there was still high mold levels. I immediately asked them to return to fix it--as we had agreed. Jay argued and argued but eventually agreed to. On the day agreed, they claim they came but could not work since no one answered the door. We had already agreed I would not be there--and that both doors would be open so they could begin. Jay forgot to tell the workers AND he failed to call/e-mail me while they were there to ask me. So I am out ANOTHER $300 for the hotel and still no mold remediation. I again sent e-mails asking when they would come back. Jay admitted the communication failure was his fault but still said he would not reschedule the job. This time Jay refused to do the job--instead offering to just do "cold fogging" Next, Mike Mulieri(VP of the company) entered the picture. He assured me he would resolve the problem. Instead he made it worse. He dragged it out, argued back and forth with Angi and still refused to refund money or do a re-treatment of my place. I view MoldGone as slick, dishonest folks who try to talk their way out of any problem- but not actually remedy their mistakes. Now I'm on my way to the courthouse."

FAQs for fire or smoke damage recovery service projects in Washington DC, DC
You generally don’t have to recreate the exact layout to receive full insurance benefits. As long as the work occurs on the same site, most policies still apply, and some even let you recover depreciation when you choose updated designs. Call your carrier early, review your coverage in detail, and confirm any requirements before work begins. Staying close to the original footprint often speeds approval and helps ensure safety codes are met.
Proper smoke-removal methods—such as ozone treatment, thermal fogging, and deep cleaning—can clear most odors, but timing depends on how much residue is present and how large the home is. Many jobs take several days, while severe cases can last a week or more. A qualified restoration pro will inspect the damage, recommend the right technique, and verify that air quality and odor levels meet safety standards before the space is considered fully restored.
The first step is calling a licensed restoration pro for a thorough assessment. Acting quickly limits moisture-related damage from sprinklers or hoses, curbs mold growth, and prevents hidden structural problems. Once the initial inspection is complete, the team can outline a step-by-step plan so each repair proceeds safely and efficiently, helping you protect both your property and your family’s health.
Repairing fire damage takes one week for minor restorations and several months for extensive damage affecting multiple areas of your home. The repair duration is determined by the severity and extent of the damage. Consulting a professional restoration team provides a precise timeline that ensures each necessary step is executed safely and efficiently, restoring your home completely.
Ozone treatment is one of the most effective ways to eliminate stubborn smoke odors because it oxidizes the molecules that cause the smell instead of simply covering them up. When a trained pro treats each room and follows the correct safety protocols, most homeowners notice a marked improvement in air quality and little to no lingering odor. Results vary based on how heavy the smoke damage was, but ozone remains a trusted option for deep deodorizing.
