Daryl is awesome! Super helpful and professional. We have used them a few times and he never tried to make us pay for anything unnecessary and was incredibly experienced. You can trust that he will do everything to help! recommend 100% read more

Daryl is fantastic! He may be the only mold remediation company in this world that is honest and true to their word. I had a long term pipe leak in my bathroom (fixed by a plumber) and he was out that same week to test the mold and the following week to remove and dry it out. Then, once dried out he repaired my bathroom perfectly even adding some extras to ensure it looked beautiful. He is honest, fair, and trustworthy. He was half the price of another company as he is one-man company and doesn't need to charge for all the overhead and other garbage. I would reccomend him to ANYONE and would only use him again. Thank you Daryl!! read more

Very responsive and know what they are doing. Came out, took samples quickly and tested quicklyVery Very Very good

Daryl did a great job, extremely knowledgeable and fair pricing. He was quickly available and helped rid me of my dirty air.

Although Daryl told some interesting stories, I would not recommend hiring him. The west wall of my entire house flooded from the outside in 2018. I had a 'mold remediation' in 2021. The man removed part of the interior drywall, but he did not remove all of the water damaged materials including the exterior sheathing under my stucco wall. I called Daryl because I wanted to make sure I eliminated all the mold sources in my house. One area I was concerned about and the reason I called Daryl was the attic. Daryl told me that it was not possible for mold to grow in my attic due to the heat here (He refused to even look). He also did a swab test in the west wall and said that the levels of Aspergillus were not high enough to make anyone sick and ignored the fact that I told him that the water damaged exterior sheathing of my house was never removed. He told me all I needed was to get my air ducts cleaned and there were no other areas of concern. I ended up taking the Moldfinders Method class (I highly recommend), and by the time I was done, I learned that the sheathing should have been removed, Daryl used a swab test which only identifies the type of mold (he should have used an air cavity test), mold can grow in my attic and it is there, and I found other places that had water damage by looking for other clues I learned through Moldfinders Method. I also did a Real Time Labs Mycotoxin test and found three types of mycotoxins in my house. I'm attaching pictures of the mold Darryl missed. read more

I had the pleasure of hiring Daryl Choby, the owner of MoldEx The Mold Experts, for mold testing and remediation services, and I can't express how satisfied I am with his exceptional level of attention and responsiveness. Unlike my initial home inspector's air mold test, which failed to pinpoint the mold source, Daryl took the initiative to visit my house and collect surface samples, which he assured me were more reliable. True to his word, the test results revealed mold in the cabinets near the kitchen sink and the air ducts. When my contractor discovered moisture readings on the floors during our walkthrough, I immediately reached out to Daryl, and he promptly offered to revisit the house at no additional cost. Armed with his high-tech moisture sensors, he conducted more accurate readings and reassuringly confirmed that there were no concerning mold levels anywhere else. Daryl's dedication to using the most reliable tools and techniques was evident, and it put my mind at ease. I engaged Daryl to remediate the mold and restore the cabinets to a pristine condition since I was also installing new kitchen cabinets. Not only did he efficiently complete the job, but he also ensured that fresh air circulated throughout the house, leaving no room for mold to resurface. To my surprise, Daryl went above and beyond by returning for the next two days to check on the treated area and make sure everything was in order. Moreover, Daryl provided me with a comprehensive report detailing his meticulous remediation efforts and even granted me a transferable warranty in case of any mold resurgence. His commitment to quality and customer satisfaction was truly commendable. I am incredibly pleased with the results and the peace of mind Daryl and MoldEx have provided me. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend MoldEx to anyone in need of mold testing and remediation services. Daryl's professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for his customers are truly commendable, and I am confident that others will have the same positive experience that I had. MoldEx has earned my highest recommendation, and I will be spreading the word to friends, family, and anyone seeking top-notch mold testing and remediation assistance. I have included some of the many pictures Daryl sent me of the disgusting mold he safely remediated. read more

We recently moved in to a new home and there is a really odd smell in one cabinet. Could it be mold? I called Moldex and at the appointment we ruled out mold due to the smell. I didn't purchase additional treatment but was advised of various cleaning methods. Reliable, professional and helpful. read more

Darryl was amazing! He did a very through job and was on top of everything. He took samples, located mold sources, and fixed our air quality completely. Worth every penny. read more

Professional from start to finish! Daryl of MoldEx was up front and honest from the very first contact in my home to the final treatment. His attention to detail was outstanding. He explained everything to our satisfaction which was refreshing when dealing with a service professional. The price he quoted us was the price we paid even though he had to make an extra trip to our home to finish the job correctly, we were not charged extra. If you have a mold issue, this is the company to hire. He came highly recommended to me and I can honestly give him top grades in every category. Thank you again Daryl! read more

If you think you might have mold, don't waste your time with the other companies. Unlike the others, Daryl actually takes the time to diagnose the problem scientifically (takes samples to a lab for testing) before he diagnoses the problem. Another company wanted to charge us over 3k to fog the house. It sounded fishy and so it was Daryl to the rescue. He also gives a lifetime guarantee on his work under the philosophy that if you treat mold properly, it won't come back. This guy is the real deal and we recommend without any hesitation whatsoever. read more

I had my bathroom renovated years ago and when they tiled my shower they used grout instead of caulk where the fiberglass shower pan meets the wall tile. Well, the grout has eroded over the years and I had started to notice water getting in there. I'm no mold expert, I'm no tile expert, so my mind is thinking "water leaking behind the tile and under the shower pan is probably a hotbed for mold". Found Moldex on Yelp and saw the great reviews so I called. We scheduled a Saturday morning appointment which they usually don't do but because they're professionals they said they would. Morning came and he was on time and super professional, checked everything and asked me questions, after that he told me I had nothing to worry about and I can rest easy. I would highly recommend them because they aren't out to just take money, they care about what they do and you know you're going to get professionals that do professional work. read more

LONG overdue review! We bought a house back in December of 2019, which was vacant for about 2 years prior to us purchasing the home. After a few months, we noticed a bunch of little gnats/flies in the corner cabinet near the sink. I knew they were there because of moisture and there was a bit of a funky smell. We called Daryl and he came over to assess the situation. When it got into things, it was nasty... sludge under the corner cabinet. He took samples of the mold and sent them out to a lab. It was confirmed as mold and he provided us with a quote and solution to resolve the matter. Daryl was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Some of the cabinets were needing to be replaced and Daryl researched to find the manufacturer. Since Covid had just entered the scene, he was not able to connect with the manufacturer. Instead, Daryl rebuilt the cabinets from scratch and did a great job. He also helped me with some other little cosmetic things in the kitchen, which he didn't have to do (he didn't even charge me for it). I would absolutely recommend Daryl, especially if you have or think you have mold. Don't mess with that stuff. Leave it to the pro's, and Daryl is a pro! read more

All the reviews on yelp for Daryl's company is 100% accurate. In short, I had a severe leak of an upstairs shower that penetrated multiple layers of dry wall. Every restoration company I called wanted to go only through insurance and claimed that I had an environmental crisis on my hands. But Daryl was straight forward, honest, timely and told me exactly what was happening which eased my concerns. His workmanship, on-time performance, transparency, & the list goes on, showcases why Daryl & his company are exceptional. Highly recommend. read more

Simply the best! So knowledgeable, so caring, went above and beyond for me. I trust his work very much. You won't find better!

Had a great experience with Moldex. Worked directly with Daryl and he was very knowledgeable and nice. Noticed a significant amount of black mold hidden in the closet and he very quickly was able to clean it up and figure out the issue/root cause. 10/10 would recommend. Daryl even gave us a discount after the fact and mailed a check to us! Great service! read more

He was very courteous and professional. Made sure i recieved the report, was very detailed

He was SO HELPFUL and found dangerous mold in my apartment that I was worried about. He even offered to come back and reassess for me! Amazing customer service. read more

I have used Moldex over a period of seven years for a major mold remediation, which included vanity replacements, and lesser mold-related issues. The quality of the work has always been excellant. Daryl Choby is more knowledgeable about the different types of mold than anyone else I have met. He is reliable, extremely competant, and a pleasure to work with. I whole-heartedly recommend Moldex. read more

We have used Darryl a few times at our house. Once when we were buying and we saw that the previous owners had a flood in the home, he came through and did a full home inspection and found a few areas that were not correctly replaced. His team did a fantastic job remediating the areas to where you would never know anything had ever happened. We've also had him out when we've had a few previous scares of mold. Each time Darryl is thorough, honest, professional and goes above and beyond to walk us through everything he is seeing. To give an example, yesterday we had him come out and look at a small leak we found and he was honest in that we would be able to fix it ourselves and walked us through the steps we should take. Would highly recommend using this company! read more

Jeff came to my home to test for mold by taking air samples. A total of 6 including outside samples. $1800 dollars for the testing and lab result report. This is highway robbery. I will blame myself for being so desperate and stupid to have agreed to this but after the fact realized what an idiot I was and that I was surely taken advantage of. The guy is a fast talking used car kind of sales person. And he will talk your ears off until you can no longer hear. And he claims he is a professor at GW, Ph.D., retired from HUD or whatever federal agency he said he worked for etc. Which are all fiction. He fabricates and really knows 0 about accurate mold testing, how to interpret results, the detrimental effects on people who are genetically susceptible to mold illness (about 25 percent of population), and plays the role of "mold expert". I just had my entire home inspected, inside and outside, humidity levels taken, dampness detection, 6 samples for mold testing, and written report of lab results- by a different company. For $299!! I still can not believe I was that stupid to spend $1800 and that this guy "the mold expert" can take advantage of unknowing victims. Wow. I bet this review will not be posted because Jeff writes the reviews and at the very least screens them and deletes the negatives. read more

these guys helped us out today and didn't charge us. They were the first ones to inspect the home we were interested in and in return for them checking it out today they are just asking to be called in the future for any home inspections. They saved us from making a horrible purchase and we will definitely use them in the future and refer them to others. it was really cool how they work with us and understood our situation. read more

We hired Moldex to help with mold in a guest bedroom caused by a roof leak, and we are so happy with the results! The owner does the work himself and he is a real expert when it comes to mold and construction work. He knew A LOT about mold and was able to answer all our questions. I was worried that the drywall and paint that was repaired would look different from the rest of the room but it is seamless, you can't even tell where the repair work was done. I thought the price was very fair, I had received quotes from 1 other company and Moldex was cheaper in price. Owner was friendly and very responsive with questions and concerns. We are very happy with the work, thank you Daryl! read more

Our faucet broke and got mold underneath our kitchen sink and dishwasher.. Daryl Did a great job! was prompt, best quote (we tried 4 companies), looks better than even before the faucet damage. Please note he is very busy- so we had to wait about a week for him to be able to do the repairs (he did come day after we called for a quote and to take samples). He tested air quality inside the house so we felt comforted knowing mold hadn't gotten into our air. Will use him again (although fingers crossed we wont have another issue) and recommend. read more

Moldex came in to fix damage from a water leak at my house. They were very knowledgeable and I appreciated their expertise. It's hard to find trustworthy people in this industry-- I highly recommend them! read more

Wow - I just had the oddest call with this business. I wanted to get a straight answer on pricing because I am concerned I am being exposed to mold in either my office or my home. Instead, the person I spoke to was completely arguing with everything I had to say and then told me I worked for a competitor and to never call them again. read more

I placed a call today in hopes of utilizing The Mold Experts services but unfortunately they do not travel here to Litchfield Park. I do want to review them for their quality customer service. I received a call back within an hour of my initial call and message. After being informed they do not report to this side of town, the gentleman not only provided a referral to who could help me but offered his input on my job as well. Would definitely recommend getting a quote from The Mold Experts. read more

Had a recent plumbing leak. After being told by another company they would have to cut open walls and do all sorts of reconstruction, I called Daryl for for a second opinion. Daryl was very patient in understanding my situation, explaining what to look for, how to actively dry out the wet area, and prevent any potential mold issues. Thank you Daryl!! I will refer you to my family & friends!! It's great to have an honest expert who will give me peace of mind on what the best thing to do is. read more

I recently used Daryl to test a home where mold was suspected that my client's were considering purchasing. Daryl's quick turn-around time, independent lab results and his knowledge of mold and it's remediation helped them make an informed decision. read more

We feel so fortunate to have found Daryl. I had been having health issues that were pretty debilitating for several months. After numerous Dr. visits couldn't determine the underlying cause we suspected something may be wrong with the house. We called Daryl and he was able to determine the issue and help with a successful remediation of the problem. On top of helping to make our house healthy again, he provided a ton of information to help ensure we are able to keep it that way. I can't recommend him more and we are so grateful to him for all of his help! If you suspect you may have mold (which isn't always apparent without proper testing) do yourself a favor and give him a call. read more

Unfortunately for us, we have had mold twice since moving into our hone. Darryl was recommended to me by an old high school friend last year. When he came to do the work I was beyond impressed! After remediation the black mold he PERFECTLY fixed the drywall and texture. He took the paint to get matched and it was spot on. You would never know that area was not the original wall. This year we called him again after we found bugs in the bathroom. He swabbed in the walls and it came back with mold. Darn it! Just as expected his workmanship is phenomenal. He is brilliant when it comes to anything contractor related. I picked his brain about so many home projects and he was a wealth of knowledge. The drywall is all done now and just waiting on our new tub to be installed before the final air test. He was willing to pull out our old tub while the counters were out so we could update it. He is clean and tidy in everything he does. Don't hire other people who make you find your own drywall person afterwards and stop when they clean the mold. Darryl is the whole deal! read more

We are so happy with our remediation. We suspected we had mold somewhere after some allergies in the house. Daryl came out the day after I called and did walk through and took 4 samples. He found mold is places we didn't suspect (kitchen and a guest bathroom) and suggested the air ducts be cleaned. His bid for the remediation was very reasonable (and lower than any other estimate we got (we checked just out of diligence)) and included the rebuild. He completed the project in 4 days. He has a guaranteed bid, so even though our issue was larger than he estimated, the cost remained the same, which was a relief to us. We would recommend him to anyone in need of a test or remediation--and if you are buying a home, we'd suggest him as part of the inspection! read more

I gave Daryl a call for some suspected mold in our new house and he was incredibly helpful. Some of the issues I brought up he was able to quickly give me simple solutions so I could take care of it on my own and he was quick to let me know what issues I should be concerned about. His rates were very reasonable too. My husband and I are going to wait to see if we're able to take care of it on our own or need reinforcements. If we do need assistance we'll definitely be calling Daryl back! read more

Daryl was wonderful. i really had a nice experience. He tested for mold for a reasonable fee, sent it to the lab and i had an issue and then he resolved it. He's a detail oriented guy who will be concerned with doing a great job for you. I have a lot of sensitivities to environmental issues and Daryl answered every question and worked with me. Now i have much cleaner air in the house. Wonderful experience. read more

I called Daryl on a Saturday afternoon worried about potential mold in my home. He gave me a mountain of incredibly helpful advice and offered multiple home remedies for me to try before I had to spend any money for him to come out. I'm so grateful for the peace of mind and help he provided and if the issue does not resolve with the home remedies - he will be my first call. read more

Great experience. Daryl was quick and thorough. We were worried but he helped us mitigate the mold situation with ease.

After having spoken to two other mold inspectors, I was impressed with Daryl and chose to use his services when he suggested surface testing, which made more sense for our situation, whereas the others only wanted test for mold spores in the air. Called on Tuesday evening and he was at my door on Thursday morning. He took 3 samples, all of which came back highly elevated, providing the information we needed. Will use again if circumstances arise. read more

Great experience! They helped me handle a mold issue caused by my HOA and were so knowledgeable that they actually helped me to get the HOA to pay for the fix much faster than I could have on my own. Availability was awesome, even weekends, and the remediation was flawless, even above and beyond. I'd absolutely recommend. read more

Daryl was very professional. He was great to work with. He did an amazing job. The exterior of the cabinets are so nice, we cannot tell anything was ever done. The interior now looks like new. He arrived and completed the work on time. Daryl was very pleasant to work with. If I ever encounter mold again, Daryl will be my first call. read more

Daryl inspected an unit for my client who was in escrow on a property. He saved her tons on time, money, and much more by informing her, based on his expertise, of pervasive mold throughout the home. He was professional, knowledgable, and I will definitely be recommending him to all my future clients. read more

I highly recommend Daryl/Moldex! We had a suspected mold issue in a condo we were trying to sell. Daryl was on it quickly and efficiently and explained to us what was going on with the wall and why. He fixed the problem so well we couldn't even tell the drywall had been removed and replaced. Then he went well above and beyond by explaining to the landscapers what needed to be done to keep the water away from the building in the future. Thanks Daryl! read more
