Mold Removal in Punta Gorda, FL

Punta Gorda is the Charlotte County seat, incorporated in 1887 on the south shore of Charlotte Harbor, and it has been rebuilt twice in twenty years. Hurricane Charley came through as a Category 4 on August 13, 2004 and leveled much of the historic district and the older housing. Hurricane Ian came ashore nearby on September 28, 2022 at similar strength and did it again.

The result is a city with three kinds of houses: a few surviving 1920s wood-frame homes in the historic district, a large stock of block homes from the 1960s onward in Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Isles along the 55 miles of canals dug there starting in 1959, and a growing number of post-Charley and post-Ian rebuilds to current code. The canal houses are the ones that take surge water.

Punta Gorda homeowners who call us reach an independent mold provider who works Charlotte County. That provider meters the walls and writes a scope before the first cut.

Where Punta Gorda mold work begins

Canal-front block houses that took harbor water need mold removal along the base of the walls and under cabinets. The old wood-frame homes in the historic district hide growth in wall cavities and call for mold odor removal when the smell outlasts the visible stain. Roofs opened by Ian and tarped for months lead to attic mold remediation.

A city that has rebuilt twice

The state historical marker on City Hall records that Spanish fishermen named the point in the early 1800s and that residents voted to incorporate in December 1887. After Charley, the city rebuilt its waterfront with the Harborwalk and Laishley Park marina, and the houses that went up after 2004 were built to a stricter wind code. Permits for drywall and plumbing after mold removal inside city limits go through the city, and the provider pulls them.
