Mold Problems In Homes And Businesses Can Be Alleviated By Qualified Professionals

One thing homeowners don’t want to hear is, “you have mold.”

Area professionals can provide help with a series of steps to remove mold from a home.

“The most important thing for a homeowner or business owner to first understand is that there are steps to mold remediation,” said Mario Gonzalez, of Bio Armor in Ballston Spa.

He said before the mold can be removed, a “mold assessor” has to first meet with the homeowner to determine if there is mold and how it can be removed.

“The most important things to know is that once you find it, you have to determine the reason, fix it, remove the mold and cleanup and then monitor it,” said Bob Serafini of Quick Response Restoration in Round Lake. “Have proper ventilation, use dehumidifiers if necessary and work with a trusted professional.”

Serafini said many times people don’t realize they even have mold issues until they go to sell their home and an inspector discovers the problem.

Once this is determined, the property owner is given a report. They can then contact a mold remediation specialist to take care of the problem.  Gonzalez said the assessor’s report protects the homeowner and the company removing the mold, ensuring there is no discrepancy regarding the severity of the problem.

Fall is a busy time of year for architectural and interior design showcases and magazines, which are full of new and upcoming trends in home design and décor.

Now is the time to see what’s new, what’s hot and what’s “not” in the world of interior design. Many people don’t want, or can’t afford, to completely redecorate an entire home every few years. Sometimes, all it takes is adding accent pieces in new colors and materials to update a home’s look, or renovating one room to give the kind of space a person is looking for.

“People are using more mixes of metals, like silver, bronze and gold tones, instead of having the same tones throughout the house,” said  Shelly Walker, an interior designer for nearly 20 years and owner of Finishing Touches Home Décor, Ballard Road in Wilton. She added that she is seeing a lot of bronze, mixed with black and gold.

In terms of architectural style, Walker said that an open floor plan is still hugely popular.

She said that the architectural trend of blending farmhouse rustic with contemporary and industrial design is still extremely popular, particularly with millennials, who are quickly becoming the largest category of home buyers.
