Howard Environmental

A 5-star rating across 109 Google reviews tells you that Howard Environmental's past clients were satisfied with their work. What it doesn't tell you is whether the company is the right fit for your specific situation or how they compare to other mold inspectors in Austin. Reviews reflect past experiences, but they don't replace doing your own homework. Austin's climate - averaging 66% relative humidity and 32 inches of rain annually - creates conditions where mold can become a real problem, especially in homes like the median Austin residence built in 1990. That's why getting a professional inspection matters.

Before you call Howard Environmental or any mold inspector, understand that inspectors who also perform remediation face a conflict of interest under industry standards. They have financial incentive to recommend expensive fixes. A standalone mold inspection in this region typically costs between $200 and $600, so get that first to know what you're dealing with. If remediation is needed, verify that any contractor you hire holds a current Texas Mold Remediation Contractor License from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation - you can check this yourself at tdlr.texas.gov before you sign anything.
