HomePro Inspections of Rhode Island, Corp.

Before hiring anyone for mold work in Cranston, check three things: whether they hold a contractor's license from Rhode Island's Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board, if they carry IICRC S520 certification (the standard credential for mold work), and whether they only inspect or also do remediation. That last point matters because inspectors who also perform the cleanup have a financial incentive to find problems, which creates a conflict of interest. Given that Cranston's humid climate and older housing stock (the median home was built in 1958) make mold a real concern, you'll want someone focused purely on finding the truth.

HomePro Inspections of Rhode Island, Corp. is listed as a mold inspector serving Cranston. Before you call, ask whether they perform mold remediation in addition to inspections. If they do both, consider getting a second opinion from an inspector who only inspects. Expect to budget $200 to $600 for a standalone mold inspection in this region. A truly independent inspector gives you the clearest picture of what you're dealing with.
