Progressive Mold, LLC

A mold inspection in Cleveland typically costs $200 to $600, depending on your home's size and how accessible the problem areas are. Older homes like many in Cleveland (median built in 1951) often need more thorough investigation, which can push costs higher. Progressive Mold, LLC is a mold inspector in the area, but before you call, know that inspectors who also do remediation work create a conflict of interest - they're incentivized to recommend expensive fixes whether you need them or not. Industry standards flag this as a real concern worth considering.

If you do reach out to Progressive Mold, LLC or any contractor, ask to verify their credentials first. Ohio doesn't require a statewide mold remediation license, so look for IICRC S520 certification and proof of both general liability and pollution liability coverage. Given Cleveland's humidity (averaging 70%) and rainfall, mold problems aren't uncommon here, so it's worth getting a second opinion if a contractor recommends major work. Before you sign anything, confirm whether your inspector will also be performing the remediation - and if so, whether you're comfortable with that arrangement.
