Leader Restoration

A mold inspection and remediation are two different jobs, and it matters who does them. An inspector's job is to find mold and identify what's causing it. A remediation contractor's job is to fix the problem and remove the mold. When the same company does both, they have a built-in reason to recommend bigger, more expensive fixes - even when a smaller solution would work. That's why industry standards say these should be separate. In Redwood City, where homes built around 1969 sit in humid conditions and receive steady rainfall, mold can hide in older walls and attics. You want an honest assessment first, then you can decide who fixes it.

If you're looking for a mold inspection in Redwood City, Leader Restoration is listed as an inspector in your area. Before you hire them or anyone else, verify they hold a valid Contractor's State License Board license and ask to see their insurance and IICRC certification. A standalone inspection typically runs $200 to $600 in this region. Once you have their findings in writing, you'll be in a strong position to get competitive bids from remediation contractors who weren't the ones telling you what's wrong - and that's when you'll get the fairest price.
