The Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors issues a Mold Remediation classification, and states that "a license is required when the value exceeds $7,500". The classification covers removal, cleaning, sanitizing, demolition or other treatment of mold-contaminated materials, including preventative measures.
Holders must complete 24 hours of board-approved training in mold remediation and assessment. Below the $7,500 threshold the work is unlicensed, which is worth knowing before treating a small quote as evidence of a credential.

Ask for the licence number and check it against the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) register before work starts. In Louisiana a licence number you cannot look up on the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) register is not a licence. Ask separately who will issue clearance at the end, because in Louisiana that should not be the same firm doing the removal.
A licensed job costs more than an unlicensed one, and in Louisiana that is the point rather than the problem: the premium buys a protocol, a separate assessor and a clearance document. The drying work underneath it is still priced at national rates in Louisiana.
Drying itself is priced the same in Louisiana as anywhere else; the published national ranges are on the pricing page.
