Scheduling the appointment went fine. I felt like they didn’t call back with the results as quickly as I had hoped for but gave us the results the next day. Their prices seemed really high and the prices per test seem a high but the technician was very nice and knew his job. They had initially indicated to me that they may have been able to come out the same day but then it stretched into the next day.
Description of Work: They tested our home, using three different tests, for mold.

This member called about 10:45 the morning of May 7th. Our schedule was already full for the day. We did offer a same day appointment later that evening. Job overruns and traffic made it impractical to do the job same day. We arrived at the property about 10:45 the next day. Pricing is disclosed on our website and Angie's List profile. Many companies do not publish their pricing and make it up depending on how much they think they can get out of the customer. Our pricing is transparent. We respect the members opinion but there's not much of a factual basis for the assertion our pricing is "really high." We've heard that our prices are really low from several customers. This member ordered two tiers of lab results: Next Day and 1 week. She received a next day verbal as promised and a subsequent report a week later. We needed all the lab results before writing the report. We appreciate the acknowledgement that our certified mold inspector was professional. Despite the unfavorable rating, we appreciate the opportunity to serve all of our customers and look for ways to improve our service based on feedback we receive. It is our commitment to schedule appointments same day and deliver verbal notification of lab results within the tier of sampling selected by each customer. It is also our goal to deliver written reports as soon as possible given the volume of field work already scheduled. Same Day Mold Testing, Inc.

Scheduling the appointment did not go smoothly. The first appointment no one showed up because the company showed the appointment as being for the next day and I couldn't get a hold of anyone. I left them multiple messages. I was there pretty much the entire day waiting on them. I needed to reschedule for the following week. I did find their prices to be high however the technician was very knowledgeable and accommodating.

This was an unfortunate mistake on our part. Assigning the appointment to the wrong day did happen. Our receptionist was reprimanded for the mistake and an apology was extended to the member. Pricing is disclosed on our website and Angie's List profile. Our pricing is transparent. We respect the members opinion but there's not much of a factual basis for the assertion our pricing is high. We've heard that our prices are really low from several customers. The actual number of samples collected did increase the total cost because the member had a problem that required corrective action and retesting. In actuality, he saved money because he did the work himself instead of hiring a remediator. We appreciate the acknowledgement that our certified mold inspector was professional.

Thank you for your report. Customers that downgrade us for price should do his/her research before calling us. We are very transparent in our pricing and it is published for all to see. Many companies do not post their prices and make it up based on much they think they can get out of unsuspecting consumers. We encourage you to bring lower prices to our attention so we can explore the details of that company. Often the company is a remediator or affiliates with a remediator so they will benefit from low cost samples when they exaggerate the problem and overcharge for the solution once the results come back. We believe we are competitively priced for the credentials we carry, the cost of doing business and paying an independent laboratory to process samples. Same Day Mold Testing, Inc.

They did a thorough job and did a good job on all accounts. The technician was on-time came out from 8p-10p. It was after 10pm when he left. He also drove quite a distance in bad traffic to get here, which I appreciated. The results were made available to me in 5 days and I received this within the indicated time-frame. Scheduling was easy and the response from their office was very good. They were easy to work with and I would recommend their services to others.
Description of Work: They came out and performed several tests on the air in the crawlspace and underneath the kitchen and bathroom sinks.

Thank you for the great review! It was a pleasure to be of service. Traffic seems to be getting worse nowadays and does put a strain on our timeliness. We do our best to give every customer the attention they deserve while at the property. This, too, can translate into delays due to job overruns. Every inspection is different and we usually don't know how long it will take until we have arrived to size things up. Same Day Mold Testing, Inc.

It went well. The technician, who is the owner of the company, was punctual and represented himself in a very professional manner. First he took an air sample directly outside the house and then took air samples at various locations throughout the house for comparrison reasons. He then made small incissions in the wall at various locations throughout the house where mold was thought to be present and inserted a probe into the wall. This was done so that it could be determined if there was any mold inside the walls. Fortunately for us there was no mold anywhere in the house. He then sealed up the holes with caulking and cleaned up all excess material where he had made the small holes. When he was done it was as if he was never there. A few days later we recieved a written detailed report regarding the various tests that were performed and the levels associated with each test. The bottom line was that our house was free of mold and that the air inside the house was just as good if not better than the air outside.

Same Day Mold Testing (from Angie's List) come out and do mold inspection/testing in the house. I was primarily interested in the ceiling in the living room where a roof leak caused discoloration and other damage. The tech/owner(?), Jason Harris, came out. In the living room he got up on a ladder, drilled a small hole in the ceiling drywall near the leak and then inserted a plastic tube attached to a device that samples the air. He also took pictures and made moisture measurements on the surface of the ceiling drywall. He then went around the house and did a visual inspection, taking pictures and making moisture measurements at all of the sinks, places where I had water leaks in the past, etc. I asked him to take samples in the locations of concern too - living room, master bathroom under the sink near the tub, laundry area. He also took outside sample(s) as references. The five samples cost me $75 each for a total of $450, which I paid by check. The inspection was prepaid thru Angie's list (a special) which was $89 charged to my Visa. He was wearing a double-filter gas mask for most of the time he was in the house. He said that he would send a report to me via email and that I would get the lab reports of the air samples by paper mail in something over a week. (The report did come as he said it would.) If there are any problems that need remediation, he said that there are some highly-rated companies on Angie's list. I was happy with all aspects of the inspection and testing - except for the results - which showed the presence of mold in the area of the roof leak. The inspection and testing process took a couple of hours. Jason Harris was a professional. I hired a company to mitigate the mold problem and after the mitigation was complete I rehired Same Day Mold Testing to re-test the area to verify that the mold was gone, i.e. that it was safe to proceed with the drywall repair work. Jason Harris returned to test the living room for mold. He took a sample indoors and a sample outdoors. With one-day turnaround the total cost to me was $265. Results came back when promised He said that it was OK to do the repair work.
Description of Work: 1. Inspected the house for potential locations of mold. 2. Tested all of the locations that I specified 3. Prepared and mailed a report to me with his findings 4. Returned after the mold had been mitigated to re-test and verify that it was OK to proceed with drywall repair work (note: this step was a separate purchase)/

Response from Same Day Mold Testing Inc
This member followed the correct steps for investigating a mold concern: 1. Hire a “Test Only” company to perform an inspection and collect samples. 2. If a problem has been identified, interview “Removal Only” companies to get an estimate for repair. 3. Re-hire the “Test Only” company to inspect the remediated area (prior to reconstruction) and collect samples. 4. Once the repairs have been deemed acceptable, have the area reconstructed. A properly trained and certified mold professional uses personal protective equipment depending on the circumstances at the property, which may include a full-face respirator. Moisture readings and sampling should be an expected recommendation when an inspector suspects a problem. Expect to receive a mold inspection report with a separate document for the lab results. An inspector may deliver bad news when there is a mold problem, but will also tell you when there is not a mold problem, too. Beware of lab results that are mentioned in an inspection report without having a third party document. Full service mold companies have a tendency (and financial incentive via remediation) to manipulate lab results to justify expensive remediation. Many full service mold companies pose as inspectors with the intention of exaggerating a mold “problem” and overcharging for the solution. The post-remediation verification (retest) is a separate charge because there is a cost to doing business for the inspector as well as the cost associated with submitting samples to an independent laboratory for analysis. It is of particular importance to never allow the remediator to hold themselves out as objective about the work they performed. They will offer to perform this step, also known as a clearance, but will virtually never tell you they failed. They simply want to pack up and move on without your best interest in mind. Make sure the remediation company does not perform the clearance testing. Trust me, you want to know the job was done right after spending thousands of dollars to remediate. Another few hundred dollars will ensure you got what you paid for when its verified by a separate inspection company. We are thrilled to know this member followed the proper steps to investigate a mold problem. Thank you for the generous report about your experience with Same Day Mold Testing, Inc.!

I called Same Day Mold Testing and made an appointment for testing at one of my apartment units. On the date and time promised, the tech came in an unmarked vehicle (great idea since I did not want the other tenants knowing what was being done). He explained the procedure outside of the unit. We then contacted the tenant and he performed the tests within the unit. The tech explained each part of the process to me as he was performing the tests. After the testing was completed we went outside and he explained what he had observed and what the subsequent steps would be. As promised, in a few days I received a well written report. A very professional outfit. I hope to not have to use their services again but if the issues arises they will be the first I call.

We just moved into a house we are renting and discovered mold in the garage and under the kitchen sink. Unsatisfied with the responsiveness of the property manager and owner, we decided to get the house tested to make sure it was safe to live in. When we called to schedule, we were impressed because they were able to get someone out the same day. Howard called when he was on his way and arrived on time. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and walked us through his process. He made recommendations on what to test and together we came up with a plan to address our primary and secondary concerns. He called the next day to confirm the results of the 3 samples that were submitted for "next day" and confirmed we would receive the other results along with a full report in 5 business days after the test was submitted. We received a call after five business days confirming some of the results and that they were behind on getting the reports out. It is now NINE business days later and no report. I just called the office and was informed the report is just waiting for the managers sign off. All in all, Howard was great and we appreciated his knowledge and insight, but needless to say, I am not happy with the turn around time in receiving the actual report. I guess if I were in a bind and needed 24 hour results, they would be worth the call - just don't expect the detailed report to come soon after.
Description of Work: Mold testing - we had a combination of 7 air and actual samples tested. Three were expedited for next day, and the other 4 were for the regular 5 day turn around.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a report. In these times of impersonal, corporate-type firms, many people can appreciate a "mom and pop" organization because it is more personal and in tune with the local communities it serves.

We wanted a mold test when, upon inspection of a property we were hoping to buy, we discovered a lot of chronic water damage and mold growing in some areas. Not good! I needed someone fast. I called Same Day Mold Testing (since I knew I wanted a co. that didn't perform remediation also), and quickly set up an appointment. On the day of our appt Howard, the tester, called 30 minutes ahead of schedule and asked if we wanted to start early as he was in the area already. Nice! He was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. He performed tests, explaining each one that he was going to do, asking if we wanted x or y type of test and explaining the price differences, etc. We decided to get the surface and air tests for the area; we needed the results ASAP so paid a bit extra for the next day service (for a lower price the lab results come in a week). Well, a few hours later (!!) - Jason called to tell us the results over the phone, as there was indeed the toxic stuff in the unit. His call me enabled us to cancel the appraisal even more quickly (saving $$) and to contact all parties involved. Jason emailed a full set of lab results on paper early next morning for us to give to the seller so that we could bow out of the deal. Great experience (for such a yucky topic)!

. I cannot say enough good things about Jason Harris of Same Day Mold Testing. He is intelligent, knowledgeable & ethical. I hired him to perform mold testing after I had water & mold damage remediated by another company. Jason collected samples & submitted them to an independent lab. He wrote a report which was easy to understand. The test results showed the previous company had not done a thorough job. I discussed with Jason the results of the previous test which came back cleared, & his test results. He then suggested that I hire a third, independent mold tester, which I did. Those results matched Jason's. I presented this to the first company, & they agreed to re-do the project. Jason then came back without charging, & again tested & wrote a report, which found that, at last, there was no longer a mold problem. I believe Jason's integrity & professionalism place his company among the best. I would recommend him without hesitation.

BEWARE: TESTING AND REMOVAL BY THE SAME COMPANY IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST! This project was a textbook example of how full service (test & remove) companies will cheat when they perform the re-test after their own repairs. It is noteworthy that the full service company in question is also on Angie's List. Full service companies use tricks that are hard to detect by the non-professional. We highly encourage all member's to start with a "test only" company to investigate your mold concern. Full service companies are simply not credible when it comes to diagnosing mold problems they benefit from solving. Nor are they credible when it comes to re-testing their work. The only want to give you a piece of paper that says they did a good job. As this case proves, the report the full service company provided was a sham. Unfortunately, full service companies are practically licensed to separate consumers from their money because they usually have a contractor's license. A license doesn't make a company more reputable. So, don't be lulled into trusting a full service company because of their credentials. Remember, the big profits are in mold removal so they will tell you what you want to hear to have a chance to rip out your walls and charge thousands of dollars to do it! All with service and a smile. MORAL OF THE STORY: Hire a test only company to investigate your mold concerns at the beginning. Hire a test only company to inspect the repair done by a "remove only" company. It's a small price to pay a test only company to perform an objective inspection after the repair and prior to reconstruction. Especially after paying thousands for a removal company to perform the repair. We are glad to have been a part of this project and hope it will prove beneficial for member's considering a professional to investigate a mold concern. Jason Harris, CMI Same Day Mold Testing, Inc.

My real estate agents and friends and all told me horror stories of mold companies coming in and scaring the h*** out of you just to get the remediation job. So I picked these guys because they only do the inspections. Therefore they have no reason to try to get you to do remediation that really doesn't need to be done. They came in, spent a couple hours looking everywhere in the house, and then showed me areas with warning signs where we should do further testing. Because there is so much apparent water damage in the house, I probably went overboard doing almost all the tests he recommended. He called the next day with the results - the black gunk was not mold. There were tiny traces of spores in the air but they were minimal and not of the dangerous variety, so he recommended doing nothing further. We were quite relieved. About two days later he sent us a detailed written report.
Description of Work: We are in escrow on a new house that is in need of a great deal of deferred maintenance which included a lot of water stains and odd black gunk on the walls and ceilings. So I was nervous about Mold. They came out and did both surface tests on the gunk and air quality tests in most rooms of the house. You pay for each additional test so the cost adds up, but I figured it was worth it for peace of mind.

Response from Same Day Mold Testing Inc
Thank you for placing your trust in a "test only" company. It is always better to hire a test only (vs. test & remove) company for the initial investigation. "Test & Remove" (a.k.a. full service) companies are notorious for charging less to visit the property only to later exaggerate the problem and overcharge for the solution. We are happy to be of service for real estate transactions. Same Day Mold Testing, Inc.
