First Contact Restoration

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs, and here's why that distinction matters: an inspector identifies the problem and recommends solutions, while a remediation contractor fixes it. When the same company does both, they have a financial incentive to recommend more work than necessary. That's why industry standards recommend keeping these roles separate. In Westland, where older homes (the median was built in 1968) and humid conditions create ideal breeding grounds for mold, getting an unbiased assessment is especially important. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region and gives you the clarity you need to make informed decisions.

If you're looking for a mold inspector in Westland, First Contact Restoration is worth considering. Before you hire any contractor for remediation work that follows, verify they hold IICRC S520 certification and carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance. Michigan doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so these credentials are your best assurance of professional standards. Ask to see proof of their insurance policies before signing anything.
