About Winter Garden
Winter Garden is the old citrus town on the south shore of Lake Apopka, with Plant Street and the West Orange Trail downtown, and Horizon West filling in to the south. It is the largest single ZIP we cover, about 35,901 homes, and one of the newest: 76% built in 2000 or later, median 2011. Only 5 Ian flood claims came from here. In a house this new, mold usually means something specific: a clogged condensate drain, a shower pan, a window flashing detail, or an AC that is too big for the house.
Homes and water in Winter Garden

Newer Florida houses are tight, which is good until the AC is oversized and short-cycles, or a condensate line clogs and drips into the ceiling below. AC and duct mold.

Services in Winter Garden
How it works
- Tell us what you found. Use the form or text photos. Say roughly how big the area is and whether there's been a leak, a storm or an AC problem.
- A local company calls you back. They ask a few questions and book a time to look.
- You get the scope and price in writing before work starts. Florida requires mold contracts to be in writing, and for growth over 10 square feet the work takes a state mold remediator license.
Questions
Do you cover all of Winter Garden?
Yes, including ZIP 34787. The company that calls you will confirm your address is in its area.
How fast can someone come out?
It depends on the day and the season; the weeks after a hurricane are the busiest. Say in your request if water is still coming in or if someone at home has asthma. The company will tell you when it can come.
Do I need a mold assessor first?
Florida doesn't require one before remediation. But if you hire an assessor, that company can't do the removal on your house for 12 months, which is the point: the assessment is independent. For a small patch under 10 square feet, or a homeowner doing their own work, no license is required.
