I don't even know where to begin...Joe and his team are AMAZING!!! My fiance and I were buying a new home in Northampton, PA -- we put an offer in and the seller accepted. Yippie!!! The home was completely renovated from top to bottom (including new drywall, studs, appliances, electrical, appliances etc.) as part of our "aggressive" offer we waived a home inspection since the home was recently inspected by the borough. After speaking with some of the neighbors we found out there was a prior mold issue in the home due to a leaky roof. I immediately called our realtor to modify our offer to included a mold inspection. The seller (a licensed real estate agent) welcomed the inspection.
Now came the time to find a reputable and licensed mold inspector. I did what most people these days do and took to google.
I came across Black Forest Mold, and boy am I forever grateful I did. I called and spoke to Joe (owner) and he put my mind at ease immediately. He was incredibly knowledgeable and polite. I had a million and one questions since this was my first time ever dealing with mold. We decided to hire Black Forest Mold for our inspection, and they uncovered black mold in our attic, living space, and basement. My heart sank when I got the phone call, but Joe reassured me that it could be addressed and we could proceed with the purchase of the home that we fell in love with. Not only did Joe uncover the issue that was causing the mold but he worked with the seller of the home and was able to come to an agreement with them to remediate the mold and retest so that my fiance and I would purchase the home with peace of mind knowing there was no mold left.
Joe followed through from the very first phone call to the very last one! I cannot thank him and his team enough for their help, information, and patience with me form the start to the finish.
I would HIGHLY recommend Black Forest Mold to anyone looking to have a mold inspection done, or mold remediation done. They did everything as promised, provided us with detailed reports showing what kind of molds were uncovered, a detailed estimate of what it was going to cost to repair, and then another detailed report showing the mold was removed successfully. In between all those reports Joe was there to answer all my questions and explain things to me so that I could understand.
Thank you to Joe & his team for helping us to purchase the home of our dreams!!
P.S. We are happily married now living in our new house!!! read more
