I had a wet, musty smell in a small access area in my wall. A leaky faucet one month prior was the culprit. It was determined that I did not have a mold issue. The area needed to be ventilated. The inspector was very professional and did not try to find an issue or try to sell me any unnecessary services. I would hire them again in the future.

Response from Certified Mold Inspection & Remediation Services
I don't like to see a "B" in any category, including pricing, unless a member can substantiate a competitor providing something better. Frankly, I cannot cover my business overhead and driving expenses by doing limited mold inspections for $195. The prevailing prices in this industry are $250 or more. When I inspect a mold problem and can tell someone that there is no mold problem for us to work on then I am suffering a financial loss...so that person should appreciate that I am being altruistic when I tell him/her so. Also, services were performed, i.e. the mold inspection and consultation, so the "NA" in that category is incorrect I do appreciate all feedback and reports from clients. They help other Angie's members to make informed decisions. My experience is that fewer than 5% of Angie's members that I have taken care of have submitted a report!

Tom referred me to another provider on Angie's List who can help me identify the source of the moisture, and get the problem resolved. That reference answered right away and is coming over today. I would use Tom's services again in a minute. He was professional, courteous and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: I called Tom because I thought my fireplace brick had mold on it. He was tremendously helpful. He assured me that the white "mold" I saw was not, in fact, mold, but a leeching of minerals from the mortar and cement components of the brick. Thanks so much Tom! Julie

I exchanged 4 or 5 emails over the weekend with Tom regarding our situation and although he was too busy to do the work for us, he did provide some guidance and direction on how to proceed. Very helpful and responsive.
Description of Work: Tom was very responsive and helpful in email exchanges to advise us of how to proceed with our water problem even though he was not available during the time frame we needed him. He provided suggestions and guidance that eventually helped us understand our options to resolve the issue.

Provided prompt and extremely helpful advice over the phone about how to remove the mold ourselves from our crawl space in the basement. Was very well informed about the types of mold and relied on solid source of information about health impacts (CDC). Was able to reassure us to not get overly afraid about the health impacts and at the same time provide effective step by step instructions on its safe removal. I would definitely call them first if we have any mold problem in our living areas, or places where we can't do it ourselves.
Description of Work: Responded right away to my phone message about a mold problem. Provided advice over the phone.

Information and recommendations to prevent future damage were very helpful. Work was done efficiently and professionally. Frank took care not to track in or disrupt any of the surrounding area. Overall, given the problem, it was a very satisfactory process.
Description of Work: Tom inspected wet area and recommended approach to deal with problem; scheduled service for following week. Frank arrived on time and performed the necessary cleaning, sanitation, debris removal in less time than estimated (damage was not as extensive as assumed once sheet rock removed). Time required was 1/2 original estimate - and so was final bill! Terrific service!

Tom, told me to run my dehumidifier in my basement full time so that the humidity stays around 45%. He would normally charge around $200.00 if he had to come out to my house to do the assessment. He gave me the assurance that I was looking for without any charge. If my situation changes, I will be asking Tom to come out to my house for further evaluation. I strongly suggest that you call Tom for your mold assessment services.
Description of Work: Tom gave me his very helpful and professional opinion by phone after I explained that I had a white substance in between some of my basement walls and my basement floor. From my description, he gave me assurance that the white substance was not mold and could be cleaned up with detergent and water.

Went well; however, mold had extended further along the wall than was estimated so the cost was considerably more than the initial calculation. Final outcome has been excellent and the mold problem totally resolved.

Response from Certified Mold Inspection & Remediation Services
We always appreciate it when an Angie's member submits a report. Our experience is that fewer than 5% of the members we have provided services for take the time to submit a report. During our May 2 appointment the client originally requested a price quote for mold damage that had been revealed by someone else. We did discuss that the damages could likely extend beyond what was visible. That proved to be the case and she agreed during the May 10 mold remediation project to additional charges for the additional work. I would have preferred to estimate the pricing according to the hidden damages that I anticipated, but she specifically requested pricing for only the damages that she could see. Based upon what I originally expected, the total cost estimate would have been $1405.94. Out of good will and in an effort to please her, we only charged an additional $314.54 for a total cost of $1000. This was a savings to her of over $400 versus what I wanted to propose for the work that I anticipated. Again, thanks for the report. We appreciate it very much.

My rental property has some mold issues reported by the tenant. I contacted Tom via email and left a VM. He went to my property in 2 days after my VM. Then immediately he sent me a report back and detailed out the problems with the mold and told me that there is no need for further professional cleanups. Instead he taught my tenant how to clean up the mold. I appreciate his service and expert opinion. I would recommend his service to anyone.
Description of Work: Tom only inspected the molded area and gave his opinion on cleanups.

I spoke with Tom today and he gave me advice about cleaning up after a water leak in my refridgerator's water line. Because my mold situation was small he was able to save me a lot of money and a service call by giving me instruction on clean up. He told me what to buy, where to get it, how much to use and how to apply. Thanks Tom, you saved me $600 plus dollars!

Tom was very knowledgeable and helpful in determining the source of mold on a kneel in our basement. He gave me great recommendations as to how I could test for the mold source myself which saved me hundreds of dollars. He didn't end up coming to do testing and remediation as I found the source and fixed myself but I will definately contact him again in the future should the need arise...But hopefully I won't need to do that.

AMAZING! This company did a great job in every step of the process. Tom was great with the original consultation and the guys who did the work were as good as it gets. Very personable, professional, quick, and clean. I would recommend them to anyone with a mold issue. They resolved the problem and I am confident in the work that they did.

Mark and Frank did an outstanding job. They were on-time, professional, efficient, and very experienced. They made absolutely no mess! After completion, they cleaned up everything extremely well. The finished result was excellent. I highly recommend this company for any mold problems. A+++++
Description of Work: The roof sheathing in the attic had considerable mold growth due to inadequate ventilation. The affected surfaces were HEPA-vacuumed with bristle brush heads to remove loose mold growth residue. An EPA registered sanitizer was applied to the mold-affected surfaces. The affected surfaces were sanitizer-scrubbed and sanitizer-wiped. Sanitizer was reapplied to the affected areas. The accessible affected surfaces of the attic sheathing and top chords of the roof trusses were primed with a mold-resistant primer, and then sealed with a mold-resistant paint encapsulent. I now scheduled another company to correct the ventilation problem. .

I found a mold spot on the ceiling of my kitchen and Certified came out the next morning from my panicked call. By that Friday a technician came out and clean out the part of my ceiling and could tell me where the leak (which caused the mold) came from. I was very thankful with their knowledge and efficiency!

We were closing on our house on a Tuesday morning. We knew there was mold issue but didn't know how extensive. Before we were to move into the house we wanted the mold removed. On that same Tuesday afternoon Tom was over at the house inspecting the extent of the mold. He gave us a quote on the spot. By that evening he had a 3 page job summary typed out detailing out what the expectations were and what they were to tackle. He was able to have Frank start on Wednesday. Usually we would have gotten multiple reviews but with the number of Angie List reviews, we didn't think we could miss. We wanted the job done right. Frank is more than someone who gets the job done. In all four areas of mold, Frank was interested in cleaning up the mold and helping figure out why it happened. The most troublesome area we had four separate water intrusion issues all contributing to the mold. As we brought in experts to give us quotes and help solve the problems Frank was able to speak "construction" language and help sort through what was professionally done vs. the weekend warrior. When asked he was able to translate what was going on and point out the problems he saw. Without Frank's help we would not have solved all of the issues and we would have had further water in our house this Fall and Winter. Regarding the quality of the work, the clische "top-shelf" is appropriate. Frank was detailed and efficient. He didn't remove the entire wall, just the bottom 18" where there were issues. He had nice clean straight lines on what was removed. When Frank was done, the job site was clean with ALL the waste removed. He had painted an anti-fungicide paint on the walls, and much of the woodwork that was in the area of the mold (even took out 3 dead mice that were in the wall). The job was finished by Friday afternoon. Frank waited until I was able to get home from work and walked me through everything he did, even what we should watch out for so it doesn't happen again. He went through the next steps we should do with regard to the carpet, duct cleaning, and what type of furnace filters we should be buying. On Saturday we got a final report from Tom documenting what the mold issues were, what they did to resolve and how the issues compared to the initial work order. On a personal level, Frank is great. Very professional. Worked hard to make the house safe. and Very friendly. On Saturday when we went back to the house, our kids were sad that Frank was gone and wasn't going to be back. We can't recommend Frank (and Tom) enough.
Description of Work: Certified Mold was hired to remove mold in four general areas for a house we purchased. This involved removing the wall in places to identify the extent of the damage, cleaning all surface mold, and sterilizing the area.

WOW! I was blown away with the fact that Tom talked to me for over 20 minutes and told me exactly what to do and where to get the supplies needed in order to take care of my mold problem myself. He said, "Do you want to know how to do it yourself and save a lot of money?" He saved me a ton of money and could have totally charged me for his consultation if he wanted to make money off of me. He is a very honest and ethical guy and I would definitely use him in the future. I would recommend him if you have any questions about mold prevention or elimination.
Description of Work: I called to ask about a potential mold problem in my basement and Tom explained to me the difference between mold and mildew. He asked me a series of questions about the type of walls it was on, the landscaping, water draining system, etc. He provided me with the information on how to kill the mold and seal my walls with a more water resistance product. He gave me instructions on how to mix the solution and what products to use along where to get them. He also told me other ways to check for mold throughout my home. Looking at the outer foundation wall for moisture/mold. Once I take care of the mold, he gave me some tips with my landscaping that will prevent the water from leaking back into my foundation and told me to get longer gutters to flush the water away from my home. All VERY good tips! He even referred me to the center for disease control to learn more about mold if I had any questions on it. At the end of the call he said that I could call him if I had any other questions.
