$10 to $20 per square foot is the published range for Mold Remediation in Raleigh, though a particular job depends on what the growth is on, how far it spread and whether water is still coming in. HomeBlue published that range in March 2022, so it is older than most prices you will see, and it implies about $4,900 to $9,800 for a 500 square foot area.
How the per-square-foot figure works
A per-square-foot rate turns the size of the affected area into a rough total. The table shows what the one published Raleigh source says, with its date, because the date matters for a price.
| Source | Place | Figure | Date | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HomeBlue | Raleigh, NC | $10 to $20 per square foot | March 2022 | mold remediation priced by the area affected |
| HomeBlue | Raleigh, NC | $4,900 to $9,800 | March 2022 | the same source’s figure for a 500 square foot area |
Your price depends on how far the mold has spread. A free on-site estimate sets the real number. Call (919) 582-5077 any hour.
Why the size of the area is only part of the price
Growth on a hard painted wall is cleaned. Growth in soaked drywall, insulation or carpet pad is cut out and replaced, and that changes both the labor and the rebuild. Work in a basement or a crawl space also costs more where access is poor or the area has to be sealed off from the rest of the house.

Fix the water or pay twice
The EPA brief guide to mold, moisture and your home says: “If you clean up the mold, but don’t fix the water problem, then, most likely, the mold problem will come back.” A quote that cleans mold without finding the leak is not the cheaper option. The water damage restoration page explains the drying that usually has to come first.
Small patches and larger jobs
The EPA guide to mold cleanup in your home uses about 10 square feet as the line for a homeowner cleanup, and says: “If the moldy area is less than about 10 square feet”. Larger areas, growth inside walls and mold after a flood are better looked at before anything is disturbed.

What to ask when you get a mold quote
Ask how the area will be sealed off, what will be removed instead of cleaned, how the drying is checked, and whether the cause of the damp is part of the price. A figure with no scope is a guess.
Seeing the damage before the number
The first on-site look is free. The page on mold remediation after a leak describes the steps, and the price is explained before the work begins.
