BeaconLight Home Inspection

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different services, and it's important they come from separate companies. An inspector's job is to find mold and identify what's causing it, while a remediation contractor fixes the problem. When one company does both, they have a financial incentive to recommend expensive fixes, even when a simpler solution would work. In Boston, where humidity runs high and older homes are common, mold issues pop up regularly. BeaconLight Home Inspection keeps things honest by handling the inspection side only, so you get unbiased advice about what actually needs to happen next.

Once you have BeaconLight Home Inspection's findings, you'll be ready to hire a separate remediation contractor if needed. Look for someone with IICRC S520 certification and verify they're registered with Massachusetts' Office of Consumer Affairs. A standalone mold inspection in this region typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on your home's size and complexity. Before you sign anything with any contractor, ask to see their credentials and get everything in writing, including the scope of work and final cost.
