Josh did a thorough investigation of our attic and uncovered an issue which a roofer missed when…read morethey provided us with a quote. Thank goodness we did not go with that roofer. He was able to thoroughly advise us on how to rectify the soffit/attic issue. He was able to remediate a few areas of mold we had on drywall due to not dehumidifying our home and a lack of insulation in two small areas of our attic - too much soffit in two areas of our home. He cleanly cut out the bad drywall and did not cut through the vapor sheeting, underneath. I was pleased that he only cut through what was necessary with surgical skill. Only the drywall was affected in 4 of the small areas. Two areas - around a skylight and one ceiling area did affect a few boards in the attic. They cleaned the boards with a green, botanical product and then encapsulated the affected boards. No fans were used anywhere so mold was contained to affected areas and once drywall was removed, it was immediately bagged and removed from the home. Skylight ceiling was HEPA vacuumed and a HEPA air filtration machine was used in all of the areas while the work was meticulously completed. The bathroom ceiling was cleaned and then painted with a mold resistant coating. Josh thoroughly explained how long the bathroom needed to dry and that no humidity could be created in the bathroom until it was completely dried. He explained that it needed to dry naturally, without a dehumidifier, otherwise the paint might crack. Josh thoroughly explained everything he would do and everything he was using (cleaners, machines, etc.) prior to starting the work. He was an excellent, educated and experienced remediator/communicator. Carol, in the office, was able to calm me down and reassure me when I first called to schedule the job. Another company could not handle my upsettedness about our mold problem and hung up on me. She was able to email me receipts after charges were completed. Her follow-up throughout the process was great despite my changing the work order a few times throughout the process. Her calm, positive, uplifting demeanor was just what I needed during this time. I do not hesitate to recommend Indoor Air Repair to anyone with mold issues, except for the fact that it might be harder for me to get scheduled with them if all of you use them, too!

Rick came out on December 9 to provide an estimate and was thorough, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He and his associate scheduled us at their next availability--January 7 for removal of the old insulation and January 8 for installing new blown fiberglass insulation. Everything went smoothly, the work was clean and efficient, and they clearly take pride in doing things the right way. One unexpected (and very appreciated) bonus was Rick adding missing drywall in our HVAC room, which was a great extra touch. We'll definitely be having Rick back later this summer to handle crawl space insulation for an addition to our home. Great experience from start to finish.

Hired him because his bid was no BS, not only because of the good pricing - Just felt like he was trustworthy. Glad I trusted my gut. Protected the house from debris, cleaned up after the work, and they probably paid attention to many other details we can't see. You won't regret hiring these guys!! Give them a call.

Asbestos Project Management (APM) recently tested for the presence of asbestos in a residential…read moreproperty of interest to me. I chose APM because it is a fully licensed, well-established family owned and operated business that has all five-star consumer ratings with Yelp and Google. Also, in researching potential companies I determined that APM's cost for their service was very reasonable. I dealt directly with the owner Brett Keller who was extremely accommodating with regard to setting up an appointment date for the test that would work for me. At the scheduled time and day (Friday) Brett met me at the property driving his work truck. It was in pristine condition and when Brett retrieved his equipment from the enclosed truck bed, I noticed that everything was clean, well-organized, and properly secured. Brett then sampled the suspect material and explained to me that the sample would be submitted to an independent lab for analysis, which was standard procedure done to ensure the integrity of the results. He said that because the lab wasn't operational over the weekend, I would not get the results of the analysis until approximately 4:00 p.m. the following Monday. Brett then unhurriedly detailed to me what the abatement process would entail should asbestos be present and I elected to have APM handle the work. The following Monday at approximately 1:00 p.m. I received from Brett an email containing a complete chain of custody document tracking the acquisition of the sample and its submission to the lab as well as the results of the analysis. Fortunately, the analysis was negative for the presence of asbestos. I was completely satisfied with APM's high-quality service and give it my strongest recommendation.

However, communication was incredibly lacking about vital details like how long our family with two small children would need to be entirely out of the house for the project (not just the rooms in question), despite an in person meeting, signed documentation without those instructions and confirmations of project start date. Lack of clear instructions and communication on a matter so essential to the health and safety of our family caused a last minute scramble to find somewhere safe to live for over 2 weeks and additional worry as parents as they began the work while children were in the home. In response to these concerns, they offered a slight discount (and less than we amount we requested).

I told the rep that other companies have inspected our home and stated that our walls are suitable for blown in insulation. ARC never came to visit our home - while their competitors did this as a standard account management cycle. Fast forward to this week, I was ready to sign the agreement and pay the deposit - the rep asked me to confirm the 2x4 framing. I asked him how he wanted me to do this - he suggested I drill pilot holes in each wall or pay a 3rd party to do this and that ARC was not responsible for verifying the details of our home. Not responsible for validating a critical project detail before having you customer pay thousands of dollars?! Extremely poor customer service and frankly, a lazy sales team. I am sure the crews doing the work are great, but the accounts team could use a refresh. I will work with a competitor unless ARC has employees willing to visit their prospective customers!

He immediately communicated that he identified mold he discussed next steps for remediation with us. The next week, David's team returned to remove the affected drywall and flooring. During the remediation process, the team was very communicative and they were careful to limit the extent of their remediation to only the affected materials. Additionally, we appreciated their efforts to protect the non-affected areas of our home and their diligent cleaning process. David and his team also took several pictures to document their findings, which was very helpful when we navigated the insurance claims process. After the initial mold remediation phase, David was very accessible and helpful as we tried to identify the source of the moisture and mold. After we thought we addressed the source, we hired David and his team to perform the drywall re-installation and painting. During the drywall repair phase, David and his team helped us identify the true cause of the moisture, which was a plumbing issue. David and his team quickly alerted us to this issue as they were performing the repairs and paused their work so we could address the plumbing issue before proceeding. Ultimately, the drywall repairs and painting were completed the following week and they didn't charge us additional fees for the unforeseen project delay and rescheduling. Once again, we were very happy with the quality of the work performed and the team's diligent cleaning process. Even after all of the work was completed, David was very helpful and responsive as we navigated the insurance claims process. Overall, we're glad that we hired Moldman to help us address this stressful situation and we highly recommend their services.

(Other vendors suggest a smaller fix which ,in hindsight, would not have solved our issue in the long run and would require additonal work later on) Throughout the entire process, he constantly communicated the progress of the work and kept us update on the schedule, something that we appreciate since its the first time we have to deal with mold and water issues.

What makes Mark stand out from the rest is his availability, clear communication, and just being a down to earth guy.

God forbid I have more water damage in my future, but if I do, Mark and his team are the first ones I'll contact. And I'll be referring them to every person I know seeking water damage help from now on.
