If you're looking for a mold inspector who is both highly knowledgeable and genuinely cares, Craig from Mold Sciences is the person to call! He is incredibly thorough and goes above and beyond to explain not just what he's doing, but why he's doing it. He answered every question in such wonderful detail. I was beyond impressed! His attention to detail and commitment to transparency gave me a solid level of confidence. I feel very lucky to have found him and will absolutely use him again. I would strongly recommend him to any homeowner who wants a comprehensive and trustworthy evaluation of their home. Thank you so much Craig! read more

Craig is a well-known mold inspection specialist in Portland, and his environmental science expertise is immediately clear. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and detail-oriented. We had a serious water Demage in our house. He explained the testing and results clearly, helped distinguish real concerns from normal environmental background, and remained calm and professional throughout. The report was clear and well documented. Highly recommend Craig for anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable mold specialist. Kira&Gennady Govshtein read more

I cannot say enough good things about Mold Inspection Sciences, especially Sarah and Craig. I contacted them because we were dealing with an urgent and very stressful concern in our home and needed professional environmental air quality and mold testing guidance quickly. From the very first call, Sarah was extraordinary. She called me back on a Saturday and spent nearly an hour listening, answering my questions, explaining the different inspection and testing options, and making sure I understood the possible costs before anything was scheduled. She was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely compassionate at a time when I felt overwhelmed. Although their schedule was initially booked out for weeks, while I was speaking with Sarah a cancellation opened up for the following Wednesday. It honestly felt like a miracle, and she helped make it happen. Craig came out for the inspection, and he was exceptional. He was kind, respectful, professional, and clearly extremely knowledgeable. What impressed me most was how thorough he was. He did not rush and he did not take shortcuts. He carefully inspected the home, explained what he was looking at and why, and helped me understand the process without making me feel talked down to. After the inspection, Craig sat down with me and went through his findings in a clear and thoughtful way. He provided specific sampling recommendations and explained the reason behind each one. I also appreciated that he gave me time and space to consider the larger decisions about which lab testing made the most sense. There was no pressure, no scare tactics, and no feeling that I was being pushed into unnecessary testing. That matters a lot to me. Mold Inspection Sciences only performs inspection and testing, not remediation, so I felt I was getting information and recommendations rather than a sales pitch for repair work. In a situation like this, trust is everything. What stood out most was the combination of science, professionalism, and humanity. Sarah and Craig both treated my concerns seriously, explained things clearly, and helped me feel informed instead of overwhelmed. Craig's inspection was incredibly thorough, and Sarah's care and communication made a difficult situation feel much more manageable. I am deeply grateful for their expertise, compassion, and integrity. I would highly recommend Mold Inspection Sciences to anyone needing mold inspection, indoor air quality testing, environmental investigation, or guidance about possible mold-related concerns in a home. read more

Never something you want to need. But peace of mind if you do. We hired MIS to do a medical investigation of our home after a mold dog alerted us that we had hidden mold. MIS sent inspector Craig- who really went above and beyond with us. Super great guy, super understanding of medical sensitivity (especially since it was involving our child). He did all the sampling of the hidden areas that we wanted and we have peace of mind knowing just how thoroughly he inspected and tested our home, knowing that we will have all the information needed to make all the important decision for our family with his report. He noticed some other things in our basement that we were unaware of- unsealed sewage pipes, that could be leaking inflammatory fumes into our home. We are so thankful for Craig coming out and know that his & MIS' work will help lead our path ahead. It was not cheap- but as this was a medical sensitivity, the thorough scope of the work was important to us. Thanks Craig & MIS! read more

Shane with M.I.S. was wonderful with customer service. He is knowledgeable and kind and prioritized helping me. Thank you again Shane! Craig was our inspector. We paid his travel fee to have him come to our home in South West Idaho. My kids and I are working on healing from CIRS and he had a lot of experience in understanding CIRS and how meticulous of an inspection that we needed throughout our home after we had water in our crawlspace for weeks. Craig has great people skills, he was very kind and took the time to answer all of our questions and fully explains things. We're looking forward to getting our full report next week so that we can get the remediation done without getting sick and cross contaminating our home. Thank you Mold Inspection Science's! read more

My son noticed a distinct odor stating I may have a mold issue! Looking at previous reviews I called for an appointment and was booked on the next work day. Craig was a thorough inspector and explained everything to my understanding. I definitely would recommend Mold Inspection Sciences to anyone who is in need of an inspection. Thank you Craig. read more

Craig came by and explained to us the process of his initial inspection, testing, results, etc. He informed us of things that our home inspector didn't, which was great! A lot of attention to detail and very knowledgable. read more

My parents are having a significant issue with mold in their independent living apartment (retirement facility). I was on the fence about hiring this company because the property management was "taking care" of the issue, supposedly. I didn't have full confidence in their process, so I decided to go ahead with an independent inspection through Mold Inspection Sciences, and I am so glad I did. Craig, the inspector, could not be more articulate, knowledgable, friendly, professional and thorough. He was on the phone with me several times during the inspection, and even called to FaceTime me while he explained and showed me the issues. He also effectively communicated the issues he witnessed to the facilities manager of the property for me, serving as an effective go-between, so there's a clear understanding of the course of action that needs to take place for safe mold remediation. I could not be happier with my experience. This is a top-notch company! 5 stars all the way. read more

I requested for inspection of mold in 2 sites. Craig arrived on time and was so kind to tell me one area is not mold so I only had to have sample from one site. That saved me money not having additional sample taken. I very much appreciate the honesty. They explained the result in details and courteous with follow-up. I am relieved that I dont have toxic mold in my house. Their pricing is fair and integrity is high. Thank you so much for your help read more

We had our home inspected several times and we were extremely happy with Craig. He is amazing! So knowable! Very professional and yet very kind and compassionate to the customers feelings while dealing with mold situation. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. You'll be happy you went with them! Ask for Craig to do your testing! He is the best! read more

The last thing anyone wants to do is to have to "dive-in" to mold inspections and issues. But we did and we were fortunate to have been referred to Mold Inspection Sciences. The inspector was thorough in explaining all aspects of his inspections and related information. We felt the inspector to be competent and trustworthy. Additionally, the customer service rep was helpful and friendly when we had to make changes to the reservation a couple days in advance of the service. We our huge fans of great service and highly recommend Mold Inspection Sciences. read more

To say I am grateful for MIS and their services is a complete understatement. Brandon and Craig have consistently helped my family during an inconvenient mold emergency in our rental unit. I am confident in saying MIS saved my family from a terrible health threat. Without MIS and their dedication, my pregnant wife and toddler would be living in an unsafe home naively advocated by our ignorant landlords. After a massive leak came an odor. Once our landlords attempted and failed to remedy the water damage and odor I contacted Brandon at MIS for a second opinion. The following morning Craig, a highly experienced inspector from MIS, came to our home for a general inspection. After a thorough inspection Craig educated my wife and I on his findings and recommended air and swab tests along with immediate action for our family and the landlords. Unfortunately our landlords did not agree with the recommendations and urgent actions needed to remedy the situation and keep my family safe. They elected to wait till the test results came in. MIS continued to help my family throughout the entire ordeal, including communicating with our landlords, rushing test results, and explaining the report till we were confident in understanding our predicament. Unfortunately the report showed airborne toxic mold, exactly what Craig's preliminary report and hunch alluded to. Because of MIS and their constant dedication our family confidently left the home, movers wore hazmat suits, and the report MIS provided will be perfect evidence for our upcoming debates and negotiations with our previous landlords. MIS helped my family in a time of need. They gave us advice when we needed it, strength when we felt defeated, and confidence when dealing with naive slumlords. I recommend anyone dealing with mold issues, whether you are a renter, landlord or owner, to contact the best in the business, Mold Inspection Sciences MIS. Ask for Brandon or Craig, these two are the best of the best. read more

We have had an intermittent mold smell in our bathroom for a year and tried every thing we could think of to get rid of mold. Craig was able to locate the source with one visit. He is incredibly knowledgable, professional, and friendly. I only wish I had called him sooner and will definitely use Mold Inspection Services if I need to again! read more

So far, I've worked with the company twice, and intend to again. If you have concerns about a home you're already in, or buying a home that could be water damaged or hazardous with mold, this company is *the one*. I interviewed and researched them all and am quite confident I found the best. First we called them for a home we rented that we suspected had mold. That data was really remarkable and helped us so much. With an educated and very discerning eye, equipment, and thoroughness of the highest caliber, they can find history of former leaks or 'water intrusions', even if remodeling has attempted to disguise it - they found clues. Or hidden leaks, where it can look dry, but equipment can tell. The lab tests they run are comprehensive and thorough. Any questions were met with prompt response, generous grace, and seen through until satisfied. I learned so much directly, and they also provide a wealth of information resources along the way. Later when we had bid on a home, we were given a seller disclosure there have never been leaks on a freshly completely remodeled home. You hope people tell the truth all day every day, but if you're going to invest so much it's better to have facts and data by someone who has your back, so we called Craig again straight away. Not just any inspector would do either, we wanted a mold specialist who knows how water can ruin a home's safety and value, and how many ways water can sneak in or hide. He found evidence of former leaks and one current leak dripping right in the picture - drop and all, and several different indications of mold you don't want festering in your home in the attic, crawlspace, and even among the new remodel area inside (great catch man!). And he did this in a home that had been totally remodeled and by all accounts looked pretty perfect to my uneducated eye. He also caught numerous risk factors that could lead to leaks and mold if not repaired or replaced. It's hard to put a value on health, home, and family. Priceless right? The value of this information is empowering, and comforting. It fosters wise decisions and an advocate with the best science in your corner looking out for all those priceless things. I cannot recommend this company or their service quality highly enough. read more

Craig was wonderful to work with and extremely knowledgeable. I appreciated his dedication and the time he spent answering all my questions. He didn't rush the job so we got a thorough report. read more

I had them come in to test for mold in my son's room this past spring and I couldn't be happier with their professionalism. The owner responded quickly to all of my questions and had me booked for an inspection within the week. My only disappointment was that they don't include the control air sample in their base price but it has to happen to know what is happening in doors. They have very upfront pricing but I'd rather pay $370 and know it's included than the $265+$105. Honestly, that's a nit picky thing because it was worth every dollar. If you are concerned I'd call them right away. read more

Everyone was so great and friendly and thoroughly explained all the processes, recommendations, and inquired about my specific concerns with great care. Would highly recommend! read more

This is a great service for people who are living in an apartment or condo that are trying to prove to their landlord or HOA that their current property has a problem that needs remedied. They quickly provided me with an emailed pdf which stated we had a problem, and left me with a list of contacts to contact to remedy the situation. read more

EVERYONE at Mold Inspection Sciences of Portland, from Brandon (senior project manager), to Craig (the actual mold inspector), to the front office staff, were terrific, professional and went out of their way to be helpful and give me the best mold inspection possible. I approached the company when I was going through a separation and needed a home evaluation as part of our court settlement. Knowing that I was going through an especially difficult time, everyone I dealt with was very kind, efficient and bent over backwards to help me accomplish what needed to be done to get the inspection under less than ideal circumstances and on a very tight timeline. I believe everyone who works for this company knows their stuff - from the actual science to customer relations; and from their other terrific reviews (on Angie's List and their website), clearly I am not alone in my experience. The inspection and report were extremely professional and thorough, and Craig made himself available to me afterwards for any questions I might have. Quite frankly, these folks are some of the nicest, highy competent and professional people I have encountered. If only every business had management and employees this skilled and caring! And though I have subsequently moved out-of-state, I cannot recommend this company highly enough for anyone living in the Portland/Vancouver area who needs a mold inspection for their property. Many thanks to everyone at Mold Sciences of Portland! read more

Working with MIS was great. Inspections were scheduled and completed immediatly. We received all reports quickly on or before dates promised. Thanks Brandon. read more

Great company that prides itself in having data to back up their inspection. Check out their website, their blog will answer almost all of your questions. We were in the inspection period of buying a house and smelled mildew. They came out and found the source and then did air sampling. They provided a lot of information and always called us to explain everything clearly. They were very scientific in how they looked at things and never said anything that was untrue. The best part was that the seller of the house had a mold remediation company come out and check the areas that Mold inspection sciences found. They could not find the wet spot in the wall in the garage and attributed the smell to a kayak with mold growth. Unlike mold inspection sciences who found it right away and showed us it with a moisture meter. Also you can trust this company because th eyes are one of the few that do not have a conflict of interest since they don't do mold remediation themselves. read more
