Questions worth answering.
If you don’t see yours, call or text us. We actually pick up.
Do you handle insurance claims?
Yes. We work with most major carriers, document the scope with photos and moisture readings, and bill the insurer directly on covered work. You handle the deductible, we handle the rest.
How fast can you be on-site for a water emergency?
For most of Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough counties we aim to be on-site within 60 to 90 minutes of your call, 24/7.
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
Yes. Florida CBC1265498, FL Mold Remediator MRSR4577, FL Mold Assessor MRSA4495. IICRC Company ID 70047037. Full general liability and workers’ comp coverage.
Do you do remodeling, or only restoration?
Both. We started as a full-service builder in 1991 and added restoration over the years. Kitchen, bath, whole-home, and post-damage rebuilds are all handled by the same crew.
How much does mold inspection cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the property and the number of samples needed. We’ll provide a clear quote upfront, so you’ll know the cost before your inspection is scheduled.

Do you tear out drywall and flooring?
Only what has to go. We make the cuts with the rebuild in mind so the repair is cleaner and cheaper.
Will my insurance cover this?
Most sudden-and-accidental water damage is covered. We document everything so the adjuster has what they need.
What is the difference between water damage restoration and emergency drying?
Emergency drying is the immediate response (extract water, set up drying equipment, contain the area). Water damage restoration includes drying plus the rebuild work after the home is dry.
Do you handle Cat 3 / sewage backup?
Yes. We follow IICRC S-500 protocols for Category 3 water, including containment, PPE, removal of porous materials, and antimicrobial treatment.3
Do you remediate what you find?
We do both, but we run inspection as an independent service. You are never required to hire us for remediation.
How long does an inspection take?
Most single-family inspections take 1-2 hours on-site. Lab results come back in 3-5 business days.
What certifications do your inspectors hold?
Our lead inspector holds IEP, MRSA, and MRSR credentials. Company IICRC ID 70047037. FL Mold Assessor MRSA4495. FL Mold Remediator MRSR4577.
Can you do clearance testing on another company's work?
Yes. Third-party post-remediation verification is one of our standard services. The whole point is independence.
What is IICRC S-520?
The Standard for Professional Mold Remediation. It defines containment, removal, and verification procedures. Florida also licenses mold remediators (Able holds MRSR4577 and MRSA4495).
Do you do remodeling, or only restoration?
Both. Kitchen, bath, whole-home, and post-damage rebuilds.
Do you do free design consultations?
Yes, with a contracted kitchen or bath project.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We pull all permits and coordinate inspections.
Can I live in the home during a remodel?
In most cases yes. We plan around the work area and minimize disruption. Larger whole-home projects sometimes require temporary relocation.
Do you do flooring without a larger remodel?
Yes. Tile, wood, LVP, and commercial-grade installs as standalone work.
Do you handle insurance claims?
Yes. We work with most major carriers, document the scope with photos and moisture readings, and bill the insurer directly on covered work.
Will my insurance cover this?
Most sudden-and-accidental water damage is covered. Mold may or may not be covered depending on cause and policy. We document everything so the adjuster has what they need.
Can I pick my own contractor or do I have to use one my insurance recommends?
You can pick your own contractor in Florida. Your insurance may suggest one, but the choice is yours.
What if my insurance denies the claim?
We can still do the work on a direct-pay basis, and we can help you document the scope if you choose to appeal.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer financing through trusted lending partners. The process is simple: complete a short application, receive a soft credit check to review available rates, and in most cases, you’ll receive a decision within minutes.
Does checking my rate affect my credit?
No. Pre-qualification is a soft pull.
What can financing be used for?
Any Able project, including remodels and out-of-pocket restoration work.
