ProView Home Inspections, LLC

A 5-star rating across 156 Google reviews tells you that ProView Home Inspections, LLC has satisfied a lot of customers, but it doesn't tell you everything that matters for a mold inspection decision. What matters more is understanding the inspector's role and whether they have a reason to find (or not find) mold. ProView Home Inspections, LLC serves Fort Smith, where homes tend to be older - the median was built in 1976 - and the climate works against you, with 70% average humidity and 45 inches of rain yearly. That's the kind of environment where mold can hide.

Here's the key thing to know: inspectors who also do mold remediation have a financial incentive to recommend expensive fixes, which creates a conflict of interest under industry standards. Before you call anyone, ask whether they perform both inspection and remediation work. A standalone mold inspection in this region runs $200-$600, so get that quote upfront. Also verify they're licensed through the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board and carry liability insurance - Arkansas doesn't require a specific mold license, so those credentials matter more.
