I recently purchased a new home/condo and quickly realized I had a mold problem in the cellar. I frantically called Al and he responded right away. He was professional, informative, prompt and professional. I have already referred him to others and would never hesitate to hire him again. I can now relax and breathe easier now that I know my mold problem is gone. Jayne

Masssave advised us of a mode issue in attic, and we contacted Baystate Mold Advisors for remediation solutions. Al came and did very thorough inspection. Al was knowledgeable and also very kind in sharing his knowledge without reservations. We learned quite a few things from him and also purchased one useful tool due to his sharing. The most practical solution Al provided require a replacement of the plywood which actually doesn't require their service. We thank Al for his knowledge sharing, and recommendation for a practical solution.

Nice Family. They needed a new roof and since the wood was wet and had mold I advised them to save on remediation and replace the wood sheathing. They had Multiple leaks over a long period. Sometimes better customer service isn't in the sale, but the recommendations.

Al answered my call, I explained what was going on and why we needed to remediate the mold within just a few days, and we made plans for him to come down within hours of my call. Al came in the late afternoon, and worked until the job was done - into the evening hours. He was kind, explained the work he was doing, and was very professional. Very fair price. Highly recommend.

Al spent a long time explaining the situation to me, and was very generous in offering advice in how I could best resolve the problem. He offered several alternatives that made a lot of sense. It's clear that Al is an honest, genuine, knowledgeable person who cares that customer concerns are addressed and problems are solved. Although it turned out that I did not need to hire him, the advice he gave was enormously helpful. I would definitely hire him when needed. Highly recommend!

I had some mold on my basement ceiling after a long humid spell. I contacted Al who promptly got back to me the same day. I explained the situation to him and sent him some pictures of the affected areas. He was totally honest with me and said it was not dangerous, was just surface mold and even instructed how I could clean it myself if I wanted to. I was glad he was honest with me since it saved me a good amount of money (most other quotes/advice I got was similar to Als, but some companies were trying to rip us off and charge us a lot for a doityourself job) I would Definitely use Al again if I needed mold remediation since he is so responsive and honest in his assessment.

Al was fabulous. He went into each room, attic, and cellar. He explained everything in detail. He explained what to look for, where to look for it, and most importantly how to treat any mold. He also looked to every type of pipe entry to look for water leaks. He did not try to sell anything at all, he gave honest answers and very in expensive everyday fixes. He even recommended what to look for in the pants and cleaners. I would highly, without hesitation recommend Al. I myself will call him every five years or so to come back to re-check. He made a scary subject not so scary.

Very well. Mr. Hall spent 1-1/2 hours using professional equipment to sample air quality, detect mold, and to make thermal scans to detect quality of insulation in walls and ceilings. His resulting report was thorough and prompt. Included in the report were lab results, photos of problem areas, and heat-sensitive photos of areas where insulation is either weak or completely lacking. He also detected mold in our garage. That mold has penetrated our interior air heating and cooling system. We would recommend Mr. Hall without reservation to anyone seeking help and advice with respect to a suspected air quality problem.

Al was awesome! One of the first things he did was help alleviate my fears and anxieties of mold being in my home. He listened to everything I had to say, and gave me honest feedback. He never tried to sell me what was not needed. He was very informative about what was going on in my home, what my options were, and how I could handle it myself. He knew we needed his help and he gave it whole heartedly. From start to finnish super honest and pleasent.

Multi-dwelling unit with shared hot water heater room that had serious levels of mold, affecting 3 rooms on the other side of the contaminated walls.. we were ably to minimize demolition & that helped speed up rebuild, which was imperative.

The response time was incredibly fast. The cost was explained to me fully before the work was done.. The work done was excellent, especially returning the same day to correct a small problem. The crawl space was left clean and neat. The lights were turned off. The entry area was secured properly. There was no extra charge for the return visit. I have had no further issues with the system to date. Potential future problems were explained to me. I highly recommend Baystate Mold Advisors.
Description of Work: Many years ago (at least 8 or 10) Baystate Solutions installed a humidex like system and sump pump in my crawl space to eliminate a dampness odor in my home. The system has worked perfectly for those many years until August 2016. I contacted Baystate Mold Advisors who had taken over the Baystate Solutions company and they responded immediately. The next day, Al Hall arrived, assessed the problem and replaced fuses and repaired the problem. Everything worked fine for a few weeks and the smell came back. Baystate Mold Advisors returned the same day I called and corrected the problem.

It was not the air purifier that impressed me. When we had a basement issue in another property (it was nasty). He made sure that once the problem was fixed that the air quality was excellent. He installed purifiers and fans for about a week until it was safe. He works quickly and efficiently. Al is very thorough, very thorough.
