Petitioner (Robert J. Koning) asks the Board whether mold related services including assessment and remediation services are within the scope of a properly licensed Division I contractor, pursuant to Chapter 489, Florida Statutes.

Board Response:

Pursuant to section 489.105 (3), Florida Statutes, Contractor means the person who constructs, repairs, alters, remodels, adds to, demolishes, subtracts from, or improves any building or structure, including related improvements to real estate, for others or for resale to others; and whose job scope is substantially similar to the job scope described in one of the subsequent paragraphs of the subsection. Therefore, the Board hereby issues a declaratory statement that mold remediation is within the scope of a Division I contractor as long as the the services are otherwise related to the contractor’s scope of work. Division II is no addressed with this statement.

hmm… That sort of changes the whole license issue for Mold Related Services
