Restoration 1 of Durham-Greensboro

Before hiring anyone for mold inspection in Durham, check three things: verify they hold a general contractor's license from the NCLBGC, confirm they carry appropriate insurance, and ask whether they also do remediation work. That last point matters because inspectors who perform the cleanup have a financial incentive to recommend more work than necessary. Given Durham's climate (69% relative humidity and 43 inches of rain annually), mold concerns are real, especially in homes like the median Durham residence built in 1993. A standalone inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region.

Restoration 1 of Durham-Greensboro is listed as a mold inspector locally. Before you call, understand the conflict of interest: if they inspect and remediate, they're essentially grading their own work. Ask them directly whether they perform both services, and if they do, consider getting a separate inspection from someone who only inspects. That way, you'll know what you're actually dealing with before deciding on next steps.
