What applies across Alberta
In Alberta, a business that sells home renovation or repair work in person away from its own premises and takes money before the work is finished needs a prepaid contracting business licence from the province.
Alberta Health's guidance says small mould areas (1 to 3 patches, each less than 1 square metre/10 square feet) can usually be cleaned by the occupant. For medium areas (more than 3 patches, or patches of 1 to 3 square metres/10 to 32 square feet) it says to consider hiring a professional. It also says to hire a professional for rental homes, public facilities and businesses with medium amounts.

Before you hire
