Housing stock in Rochester

88% of roughly 103,251 housing units predate 1980, and 63% of occupied homes are rented. Age of stock matters for water losses because older assemblies dry more slowly and older supply lines fail more often — and tenure matters because who pays for remediation turns on it. Who pays →

Rochester restoration: common questions

How many restoration firms are there in Rochester?

We hold verified credential records for 39 firms in Rochester, of which 4 appear in two independent registries and 36 hold an active New York licence on file. That is a count of what we could verify, not a count of every firm operating here — a firm we hold no record for is simply one we could not check.

What are Rochester restoration firms certified in?

The credentials most often on record here are FSRT (Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Technician, 7 firms), WRT (Water Damage Restoration Technician, 7 firms), OCT (Odor Control Technician, 6 firms), AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician, 4 firms). Each was checked against IICRC's own registry rather than the firm's marketing.

Does Rochester require a licensed mold contractor?

New York requires a licence for projects greater than 10 square feet (definitional — Labor Law §930(6)) (N.Y. Labor Law §930(6)), issued by NYS Department of Labor — Mold Program (Labor Law Art. 32) — the rule is statewide, not local. Labor Law §936(2) bars a licensee from performing both mold assessment and mold remediation on the same property — the statute's word is property, not project — and requires an independent written assessment before remediation begins.

Is older housing a factor in Rochester?

88% of Rochester's roughly 103,251 housing units were built before 1980, and 54% before 1940. Older stock more often carries galvanised or cast-iron supply lines, cavity constructions that dry slowly, and materials that predate modern vapour control — which is context for a water loss, not a prediction about any particular building.
