Cost breakdown by scope
Different sizes of loss land in different ranges. Here's how we typically tier them:

|---|---|---|
| Small (under 10 sq ft) | Single bathroom or closet, no demolition | $1,500 – $3,000 |
| Medium (10–30 sq ft) | Standard containment + selective demolition | $3,000 – $6,500 |
| Large (30–100 sq ft) | Full containment + HVAC component + clearance testing | $6,500 – $14,000 |
| Extensive (>100 sq ft) | Whole-room or multi-room remediation | $14,000+ |
What moves the cost
- Square footage of visible mold growth
- Whether HVAC system is affected
- Containment level required (Level 1–IV per IICRC S520)
- Need for post-remediation clearance testing
- Whether reconstruction is needed after removal

Yes. Every Catalyst project starts with a free inspection and a written, line-itemed scope of work using industry-standard Xactimate pricing. You see the number before any work begins.
Significant change orders only happen when the scope itself changes (e.g., we discover additional damage behind a wall during demolition). When that happens, we stop, photograph, document, and re-scope with you and the adjuster before continuing. No surprise charges.
