Inspections by Referral

When you see a business with 126 five-star reviews, that's a good sign people have had positive experiences. What those reviews don't tell you is whether the inspector has a conflict of interest. In Greeley, where homes built around 1984 can develop moisture issues in our 52% average humidity, you want an inspector whose only job is finding mold - not someone who profits from selling you remediation work afterward. Inspections by Referral is listed as a mold inspector in the area, so it's worth asking whether they do both inspection and remediation, since that split loyalty can compromise their objectivity.

Before you call anyone, know what you're paying for. A standalone mold inspection in this region typically costs between $200 and $600. Colorado doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so if Inspections by Referral or any other contractor recommends remediation work, verify they carry IICRC certification along with both general liability and pollution liability insurance. Ask to see proof of these credentials and coverage before signing any contract.
