Prices
Our mold inspections, mold testing & other environmental testing services are reasonably priced.
Certified Inspections performs its , mold testing, mold assessments, consultation on mold removal and mold cleaning, air testing, water testing and all other services in the most honest, thorough manner with no compromises, and at a fair price, so you get it done right the first time, and never have to call anyone else a year later after you thought you had “saved” money with a bargain-basement company.
With Certified Inspections, you will not get a quick one or two-hour walk through inspection by some guy who seems to know less than you. You will get a detailed, comprehensive, understandable report that is well worth your money. All inspections are performed with no “eye on the clock” and you will get the same attention that we would give to a family member. After all, a house is the biggest investment you’re ever likely to make, so it doesn’t pay to save a few bucks on an inspection that may not give you the whole picture and end up costing you a fortune after you move in.or make you sick if you already live there.
Normally, we do all the environmental tests at the same time as the inspection. This saves you time as well as money because it costs more to come back later to do the tests separately. It also gives you peace of mind knowing that the water is safe to drink and that there is no mold in the air.
When you phone us, we will give you a detailed summary of how we perform the inspection and what the charges may be. There will be no “hidden costs” for additional services that you weren’t previously aware of. The same thing applies to environmental testing. We will quote you our price for the base fee and the sample. The number of samples can only be determined at the site by visual identification, as the work is “site-specific.”
We frequently get environmental testing jobs for houses that were already just inspected by others. It ends up costing the unfortunate client more money than if they had simply called us in to do the entire job in the first place
