He came to my house the next day, was extremely professional and explored my house to find a source. He read the results from my test and reassured me that these types of tests are not the most accurate way to assess mold.

I have had experiences with other companies who come in, take advantage of your vulnerability and emotions and complete try to scam you. Shane couldn't be further from that.

I recently found some black mold in my garage and needed it taken care of. Found out I needed to…read morehave some testing done to the drywall and joint compound first to make sure there wasn't any lead or asbestos. Was recommended S&J by one of the mold remediation companies, and through text they were able to schedule me in relatively quickly. Guy came in, was fast and friendly, did his thing. He noticed there was vinyl tile on the floor of the area I needed mold treatment so he asked to take a piece to test. I said sure. Results came back quick, and so did the invoice. They tried to upcharge me an extra $405. I replied to them saying that wasn't the agreed upon price. They "fixed" the error and knocked off $100 from the already inflated price, apologizing that they got some detail wrong in the invoice. I had to reply again, challenging that detail and the extra money they were asking for. It was only then that someone in charge finally got involved, explained they'd had me confused with another client, and backed down to the original quoted price-- but tacked on an extra $40 for the floor tile! I paid the invoice because this was 4 days later, but told them they need to disclose when something is going to cost extra. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. While I can accept an honest mistake, I was left feeling like they were trying to take advantage of me, hoping I'd just pay whatever they asked. Whatever the truth is, S&J Environmental Testing leaves a lot to be desired in regard to their customer service.

"Multiple Layers" of Deception and Unprofessionalism…read more.. In my correspondence with Gene K., a representative of Scope Environmental (cut and pasted from Yelp chat room) mentions "We can definitely help. Our asbestos inspection, survey, and lab results pricing is very competitive. It's $625 for the inspection and report. Each sample is $35. No other fees. Generally, results and reports will be available within 24-48 hours". Gene K. also mentioned the following "Some samples have multiple layers, and that can not be determined prior to taking the physical sample. You are welcome to call in so that you can properly comprehend the procedures". However, UNDISCLOSED FEES can creep into the price charged to the customer, e.g. such as the need to test "multiple layers" of one material; so, "No other fees" is (deliberately) misleading and therefore, deceptive. A field inspector (Daisy Flamenco) of Scope Environmental, arrived at the project site and upon seeing the area that needed sampling, asked the homeowner for a ladder to get her modest stature to the sampling material areas. When sampling the ceiling, Ms. Flamenco was barely able to reach the sampling surface (needed to be on her tippy toes), even with a step ladder (provided by the homeowner). ALL sample takers must come fully prepared for all conditions at the work site and not rely on the homeowner to provide tools, equipment or assistance of any kind to do THEIR job! Ms. Flamenco was dressed casually, no respirator or other appropriate protective equipment or gear, which is not only hazardous to herself, but sends the message to the homeowner (overseeing the work), that asbestos is really not that harmful. Even two and a half years following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is appropriate if all workers who enter a home, to wear a mask or at least offer to wear one, but Ms. Flamenco failed to show the occupants of the residence, such consideration. Most (professional) people return to bad pre-pandemic habits, even if to protect the home's occupants from the common cold. What is really inconsiderate and unprofessional, is that Ms. Flamenco had disturbed suspected asbestos containing materials by scraping and cutting away material from parts of a furnace and its ducts, leaving the furnace and ducts out-of-order, i.e. if no asbestos or other harmful materials were found, the furnace and ducts could not be safely and effectively used without first repairing them. Leaving carcinogenic materials exposed (cutting, scraping or otherwise removing and exposing asbestos) to those who live at the work site, is hazardous and unprofessional and should never be done this way. Exposing harmful materials puts people and animals at risk of exposure to carcinogens and asbestosis causing particles! Asbestos sample takers should take measures to seal or otherwise cover, exposed asbestos containing materials (when they are through sampling them), to protect home occupants. This experience was a wake-up call to how incompetent workers can make a bad situation, worse!

Given they really went into the walls with some work, i figured I'd have this dust checked out just in case. Most labs were charging an arm and a leg for the basics, for a majority worked with large commercial projects. I'm just a concerned homeowner with no technical background who wanted to check some samples. Chuck walked me through it and made It all very easy.

Michael at Pro Environmental Testing was thorough and professional throughout the entire mold…read moreinspection process. He was very transparent with his pricing and there were no hidden fees which was nice. He did not pressure for more sample than what was needed. He even offered sound advice on which type of test is preferred for certain areas (swab vs air). He identified visible mold in multiple areas of my apartment and backed it up with lab-certified air and surface samples. The interpretation report clearly explained the findings -- including the detection of Stachybotrys (toxic mold) in the master bathroom -- and outlined exactly what remediation steps were needed. Highly recommend if you want honest, science-backed results and not just a guessing game. We will be using Michael's services again if needed.

Reasons I chose to use Fun Guy: Besides # of stars and reviews, I enjoyed the thorough conversation on the phone with Robert. I gave him the issue, he laid it out with a, b, c, was knowledgeable and honest about the possibilities, and despite him not having gone yet, he made me feel secure and at ease with the process and outcome. One of our clients needed closet checked for mold. Despite our best efforts, we wanted to put her at ease and have a professional come out to test. Robert was able to schedule in a timely manner, showed up at the time he advised, was able to take samples to test, and was able to provide results/report to give to our client. He is a one man show on the scene, so it's great he has an answering team to back him up as when I had questions, the staff was great in paging him and I was able to get a call back in a timely manner.

Before we even scheduled the inspection, he spent over an hour on the phone answering all of my questions and explaining the testing process in a way that was incredibly thorough and easy to understand. He didn't just collect samples - he took the time to educate us on how to safely manage asbestos and lead during our renovation and what to keep in mind long after we move in. I also felt like he went above and beyond to be careful not to oversample - which I really appreciated as we navigate a budget for all these home repairs. He focused on highest-value spots (with the lowest visibility, visually!) As first-time homeowners navigating construction (and expecting our first baby), we found having someone so knowledgeable, patient, and generous with his time invaluable. It's rare to find someone with this level of expertise who genuinely cares about helping their clients make informed decisions. If we ever need environmental testing again, Steve will be my first call.
