Stauss Inspections

When you find mold in your Arvada home, you need two separate services: an inspection to identify and document the problem, and remediation to fix it. Here's why this matters: if the same company does both, they have a financial incentive to recommend expensive work you might not actually need. A mold inspection should give you an honest assessment from someone with no stake in the cleanup job. That independence is what protects you. Stauss Inspections keeps that line clear by handling the inspection side, which typically costs $200-$600 in this region.

Once you have that independent report in hand, you can shop for remediation contractors separately. If you're going that route, Colorado doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so look for contractors with IICRC certification and verify they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance. Before you sign anything with any contractor, ask them directly about their credentials and insurance coverage. It's the best way to make sure you're protected.
