Ace Home Inspections

A mold inspection in Albany typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on your home's size and the scope of testing needed. Older homes - and Albany's median house was built in 1948 - sometimes require more thorough inspections because they're more prone to moisture problems. The region's climate doesn't help either, with 71% average humidity and 39 inches of rain annually creating conditions where mold can take hold. When you're ready to get your home tested, Ace Home Inspections is one option to consider in the Albany area.

Before you hire anyone, know that New York State requires mold inspectors and remediation contractors to hold proper licenses from the NY Department of Labor. Here's the catch: if an inspector also does mold removal, they have a financial incentive to find problems and recommend their own fix-it services. You can verify credentials at mpwr-public.labor.ny.gov. Before signing anything with Ace Home Inspections or anyone else, ask whether they perform both inspection and remediation work - and if they do, consider getting a second opinion from an inspector who only inspects.
