"TJL Construction remodeled our bathroom: took out old tub and vanity and installed new plumbing, shower, sink, light and other fixtures, ceiling, flooring, and painted. Matt Swan was great to work with. He provided a detailed estimate and stuck to it. Work was done on schedule, all materials were cleaned up and cleared away. I would highly recommend their work."

"Mike was able to fit me in the same day for an estimate which surprised me because I'm sure a lot of people are needing his services with all the rain lately but he was in the area that day and came by. Although the company is a nation wide chain, its a franchise and a small business. He is an honest Vermonter with Vermont values which I appreciate. He gave me options but didn't try to talk me into something I couldn't afford and is doing the work within two weeks which I was also happy about being a very busy time for this type of thing."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Humidity, moisture, and a lack of ventilation can all cause mold to grow on surfaces in and around your home.

Black discoloration on your attic insulation may be caused by buildup from soot, dust, or dirt, which does not come with dampness or a musty odor. However, another cause of black discoloration on attic insulation is black mold, which has a musty smell and other signs of damage. If you’re unsure what black stuff you’re looking at, consult a pro to be safe.

Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. The chances of mold developing depend on several factors, including the severity of the damage and how quickly the area is cleaned and dried. To prevent mold, you must act quickly—ideally within the first 24 hours. Clean up all water and thoroughly dry the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you were unable to address it immediately, or you suspect mold has already started to grow, it is best to assume it is present and hire a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.

Mold is very likely if you do not take action to fully dry your home within around 24 to 48 hours after water damage occurs. This can happen even faster in warm, dark locations with extensive water damage. In areas of the home that receive ample sunlight and only have slight moisture issues, it can take weeks for mold to appear.

Some mold can look like dust, but most doesn’t. Powdery mildew is often confused with dust as it’s a similar color and grows in a similar way. Some gray molds can look like dust as well, but usually, it’s pretty easy to spot the difference. It’s better to be safe, so if you aren’t completely sure what you’re seeing is dust, call a mold professional to check it out.
