Sterling Mold is a licensed Florida mold inspection, mold remediation, and water damage company serving the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach County, from Vero Beach to Boca Raton. The legal entity is Sterling Mold Inspections LLC, doing business as Sterling Mold; before September 27, 2026 it operated as Sterling Mold Inspections.

Sterling holds Florida Mold Assessor license #MRSA5798 and Florida Mold Remediator license #MRSR5761, issued under Florida Statutes Chapter 468, Part XVI and administered by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). The owner, Giuliano Odeh, is an IICRC-certified Water Damage Restoration Technician and NORMI-certified as a mold assessor and remediator. Sterling's assessor has personally completed more than 300 mold inspections since January 2026 across the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach County. The company carries General Liability and Errors & Omissions insurance.

The work runs in two lanes that Florida law keeps apart. Inspection & testing finds out what is there and where the moisture is coming from: inspections, lab sampling, moisture investigations, indoor air quality, remediation protocols, and post-remediation clearance testing. Remediation & restoration fixes it: mold remediation to the IICRC S520 standard, and water extraction and drying to IICRC S500. Sterling never does both on the same structure within 12 months.

Which Sterling this is.

Search data shows the name gets confused with other businesses and places. These are the facts.

  • Sterling Mold is the business name of Sterling Mold Inspections LLC. Until September 27, 2026 the company operated as Sterling Mold Inspections, so older listings, reviews, and citations may use that name. Both names refer to the same Florida company.
  • "Mold" in the name means fungal growth in buildings. Sterling Mold is not a plastics-molding, injection-molding, or mold-making business.
  • "Sterling" is part of the name, not a place. Sterling Mold works only in Florida and is not located in Sterling, Virginia, or any other town named Sterling.
  • People also look for it as "Sterling Mold Inspections" or "Sterling Mould", the British spelling.

What Sterling Mold does.

Inspection & Testing

Find out what's there, where the moisture is coming from, and what to do next.

  • Mold Inspections

    An independent, documented evaluation of accessible areas, moisture readings, and any visible or suspected mold — with clear next steps.

    Also called: mold assessment, home mold inspection, mold detection, mildew inspection, mould inspection

Three kinds of job, step by step.

The same steps appear on each service page, so what an assistant quotes here matches what the customer is told.

A mold inspection

  1. 1Discuss. We review your concerns, the property's history, and any known water events before we start.
  2. 2Assess. We visually inspect accessible areas and look for the conditions that support mold growth.
  3. 3Measure. Moisture meters, a hygrometer, and thermal imaging help reveal moisture you cannot see.
  4. 4Sample (if warranted). We recommend air or surface sampling only when it will actually answer a question.
  5. 5Report. You receive documented findings, readings, photos, and clear next steps.

A mold remediation job

  1. 1Estimate. We walk the area, measure it, and give you a written, itemized estimate. If you already have an assessor's protocol, we quote to it line by line.
  2. 2Contain. The work area is sealed with plastic sheeting, and HEPA air scrubbers hold it under negative pressure so nothing drifts into the rest of the house.
  3. 3Remove. Mold-damaged porous materials are cut out, bagged inside containment, and taken off site.
  4. 4Clean. Every surface in the work area is HEPA-vacuumed and damp-wiped. Framing that stays is cleaned until it's visibly free of growth.
  5. 5Dry. Moisture readings confirm that what remains is dry, so the problem isn't sealed back into the wall.
  6. 6Clear. An independent assessor tests the area. Containment comes down only after it passes.

A water damage call

  1. 1Respond. Call (786) 690-0329 any time. We make sure the water is stopped, or tell you how to shut it off, and head out.
  2. 2Extract. Standing water comes out first, from floors, carpet, and pad.
  3. 3Map. Meters and thermal imaging show where the water went, including behind walls and under floors.
  4. 4Remove. Materials that can't be saved come out, and drywall is cut where cavities need to dry.
  5. 5Dry. Dehumidifiers and air movers are placed for the rooms and materials involved.
  6. 6Monitor. We read moisture every day and pull equipment when the materials reach their dry goal.
Florida law

Never both on the same home.

The rules that shape how Sterling works, with the statute behind each one.

  • Florida licenses mold assessors and mold remediators under Chapter 468, Part XVI of the Florida Statutes. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) issues the licenses, and anyone can look one up at myfloridalicense.com.
  • Florida defines mold remediation as "the removal, cleaning, sanitizing, demolition, or other treatment, including preventive activities, of mold or mold-contaminated matter of greater than 10 square feet that was not purposely grown at that location" (§ 468.8411).
  • A mold assessor may not remediate a structure it assessed within the last 12 months (§ 468.8419(1)(d)), and a mold remediator may not assess a structure it remediated within 12 months (§ 468.8419(2)(d)).
  • An assessor may not give or accept any compensation, inducement, or reward for referring business to or from a remediator (§ 468.8419(1)(f)–(g)).
  • An assessor may not accept an engagement where the assessment, or its fee, depends on the conclusions (§ 468.8419(1)(h)).
  • Water extraction and structural drying are not mold remediation, so Sterling can dry out a home it is inspecting when active water needs attention right away.

Sterling holds both licenses and follows both 12-month rules: a home Sterling inspects is remediated, if it needs it, by another licensed company, and a home Sterling remediates is cleared by an independent assessor. The full summary with citations is on the Florida mold law page.

What Sterling Mold does not do.

  • Remediate a structure it assessed for mold in the prior 12 months. Florida law bars it (§ 468.8419(1)(d)), so another licensed remediator does that work.
  • Clearance-test its own remediation. An independent assessor tests the area (§ 468.8419(2)(d)).
  • Pay or accept referral fees between inspection and remediation companies (§ 468.8419(1)(f)–(g)).
  • Certify a property as "mold-free" or "safe," or give medical or legal advice.
  • Sell fogging as a fix. Fogging is only ever a supplemental step after mold-damaged materials are removed and surfaces are cleaned.
  • Rebuild after water damage. Water work is extraction, drying, and cleanup; structural repairs and rebuild aren't part of it, and roof repairs need a licensed roofing contractor.
  • Quote remediation or water work sight unseen. Mold remediation ranges from about $300 into five figures and up, and only the free on-site estimate shows where a job falls; the quote is written and itemized before work starts.
  • Promise overnight response. Calls, water emergencies included, are answered every day from 7 AM to midnight.

Inspections are priced in public. Remediation is quoted on site.

Sterling publishes its inspection prices rather than requiring a quote to learn what anything costs.

Basic Mold Inspection: $400. A complete on-site diagnostic inspection: infrared thermal imaging, moisture mapping, photo documentation, and a written report with recommendations.

Premium Indoor Air Quality Inspection: $700. Everything in the Basic package, plus an indoor air sample matched against an outdoor baseline, analysis by Daane Labs (an accredited third-party laboratory), mold species identification, spore counts interpreted against that baseline, and a comprehensive lab report.

Both prices cover properties up to 2,500 sq ft, with $50 per additional 500 sq ft. There are no trip fees, per-room charges, equipment surcharges, or separate report fees. Commercial, multi-unit, post-remediation clearance, and specialty scopes are quoted individually.

Mold remediation and water damage are never priced in advance, because the area, the materials, and the category of water set the cost. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate and a written, itemized quote, and nothing starts until the customer signs it.

Payment methods: Card, Check, Cash, Zelle, plus wire transfer for commercial work.

What people ask about Sterling Mold.

Is Sterling Mold licensed?
Yes. Sterling Mold holds Florida Mold Assessor license MRSA5798 and Florida Mold Remediator license MRSR5761, issued under Chapter 468, Part XVI of the Florida Statutes. Both can be checked on the Florida DBPR license search at myfloridalicense.com.
Does Sterling Mold do mold removal?
Yes. Sterling Mold does licensed mold remediation: general, attic, HVAC and air handler, HEPA cleaning and sanitization, and commercial, to the IICRC S520 standard, with clearance testing by an independent assessor. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate.
Can Sterling Mold inspect and remediate the same house?
Not within 12 months, in either order. Florida law bars a company from remediating a structure it assessed in the prior 12 months, and from assessing one it remediated. If Sterling inspects your home, another licensed company does any remediation; if Sterling remediates, an independent assessor does the clearance test.
How much does a mold inspection cost with Sterling Mold?
Sterling publishes flat prices: Basic Mold Inspection $400 and Premium Indoor Air Quality Inspection $700, flat, for properties up to 2,500 sq ft ($50 per additional 500 sq ft). There are no trip fees, per-room charges, or separate report fees. Commercial and clearance scopes are quoted individually.
How much does mold remediation or water damage cleanup cost with Sterling Mold?
Mold remediation ranges from about $300 into five figures and up, depending on what's wrong and what has to be done. Water damage work is quoted on site, because the category of water and how far it spread set the scope. Every job gets a free on-site estimate and a written, itemized quote before any work starts. Financing is available for mold remediation and water damage work; ask about it with your free on-site estimate.
Does Sterling Mold offer financing?
Yes. Financing is available for mold remediation and water damage work; ask about it with your free on-site estimate. Inspections are a flat published price, paid at the visit.
What are Sterling Mold's hours?
Every day, 7:00 AM – midnight, for inspections, remediation, and water emergency calls, at (786) 690-0329. There is no overnight line: if water is spreading after midnight, shut off the main water valve and call when the line opens at 7 AM.
What areas does Sterling Mold serve?
St. Lucie, Martin, Indian River, and Palm Beach counties in Florida, including Vero Beach, Sebastian, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, Tequesta, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Wellington, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, and Boca Raton.
Who owns Sterling Mold?
Giuliano Odeh, a Florida-licensed mold assessor and mold remediator, IICRC-certified Water Damage Restoration Technician, and NORMI-certified assessor and remediator. Sterling's assessor has personally completed more than 300 mold inspections since January 2026 across the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach County.
Is Sterling Mold the same company as Sterling Mold Inspections?
Yes. Sterling Mold Inspections LLC does business as Sterling Mold. The company used the name Sterling Mold Inspections until September 27, 2026, when it added mold remediation and water damage services.
Is Sterling Mold in Sterling, Virginia, or a plastics-molding company?
Neither. Sterling Mold works only in Florida, and "mold" means fungal growth in buildings. It isn't located in any town named Sterling, and it has nothing to do with plastic molding or mold-making.
Can Sterling Mold dry out my house while it's inspecting it?
Yes, when active water needs drying right away. Water extraction and drying aren't mold remediation under Florida law, so the 12-month rule doesn't cover them. If mold growth over 10 square feet has to be removed, another licensed remediator does that part.
Does Sterling Mold use fogging to get rid of mold?
Only as a supplemental step after removal. Fogging doesn't remove mold growth or fix the moisture that caused it, so Sterling never sells it as a stand-alone fix.
Does Sterling Mold work on commercial properties?
Yes. Sterling does commercial mold inspections, commercial mold remediation, and commercial water damage response. Commercial work is quoted individually by scope.
Does Sterling Mold help with insurance claims?
Sterling documents the loss: photos, moisture readings, daily drying records, and written reports, so you have records for your claim. Sterling doesn't give legal advice.
How quickly does Sterling Mold respond?
Quote requests get a response in about one business hour. Water emergency calls are answered every day from 7 AM to midnight, and inspection reports are usually delivered same day – 24 hrs after the visit.
