Maine legislates mold assessment and remediation services under Title 10, Chapter 217-A rather than licensing practitioners. The concrete trigger is in rental housing: where an inspection finds visible mold over 3 square feet, the landlord or their agent must have the property assessed by a certified mold assessment professional.
Remediated areas are to be returned to Condition 1 as defined in the ANSI/IICRC S520 standard, verifiable by an independent consultant. Separately, applying any disinfectant or biocide is licensed work through the Maine Board of Pesticides Control, so a crew spraying chemical treatment needs that licence even though mold removal itself does not carry one.

Statutory duties rather than a credential. Maine imposes minimum standards on the work itself, so the contract and the standard are what you enforce against. Get the scope in writing, name the standard it follows, and keep it - in a standards state the paperwork is the protection.
With no state credential to pay for, Maine pricing tracks the national ranges closely. That cuts both ways, because the cheapest quote and the most careful crew are indistinguishable on paper here.
Drying itself is priced the same in Maine as anywhere else; the published national ranges are on the pricing page.
Metro guides for Maine publish once three local facts can be sourced for a city: named operators, local flood risk and the county permit office. Until then the Maine position above is the state-level answer, and the national guides below cover cost and process.
Maine sets statutory standards for mold work and requires a certified assessor once visible mold exceeds 3 square feet in a rental.
