Paul Davis

Rochester's older housing stock and humid climate create ideal conditions for mold growth. With a median home age of nearly 90 years and an average of 73% relative humidity, many local homeowners face moisture problems that can lead to mold. When you suspect mold, Paul Davis in Rochester is one option you might consider. A standalone mold inspection typically costs $200 to $600 in this region, so it's worth understanding what you're paying for and who's doing the work.

Here's something important to know before you call: inspectors who also perform mold remediation have a built-in conflict of interest under industry standards. They profit from finding problems and performing the fix, which can bias their recommendations. Before hiring Paul Davis or anyone else, verify their New York State licensing at mpwr-public.labor.ny.gov and ask whether they perform both inspection and remediation work. If they do both, consider getting a second opinion from an inspector who only inspects.
