Arizona Restoration Specialists of Mesa

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs, and there's a reason industry standards say they shouldn't be done by the same company. An inspector's job is to find mold and tell you what's there - no bias, no conflict of interest. A remediation contractor's job is to fix it. When one company does both, they have an incentive to find more mold and recommend bigger (and pricier) solutions. In Mesa, where homes built in the 1980s like the median house here can develop moisture issues over time, getting an unbiased inspection first makes sense. Arizona Restoration Specialists of Mesa is listed as a mold inspector in the area.

Before you call anyone, understand what you're paying for and who should do what. A standalone mold inspection in this region typically costs between $200 and $600. If Arizona Restoration Specialists of Mesa or any other company recommends remediation work, verify they hold a valid ROC (Registrar of Contractors) license at azroc.gov - Arizona requires it. That simple check protects you and ensures you're working with a properly licensed contractor. Ask the inspector upfront whether they also perform remediation work, and if they do, consider getting a second opinion before proceeding with any treatment.
