With nearly two decades of experience in the residential and commercial construction industry and many years dedicated to remediation and cleanup of commercial and residential buildings, you can be sure that your inspection report will be of the highest quality.

Serving all areas of Upstate New York, including Saratoga Springs, Malta, Ballston Spa, Clifton Park, Rensselaer County and upper Albany County.

Quality, complete and affordable mold assessments and mold inspections is my number one priority.

I provide general mold assessments, mold assessments as a result of a home inspection discovery or real estate transaction, rental pre-move-in and pre-move-out mold inspections, commercial mold assessments and inspections, and mold assessments and inspections for insurance claims, losses and cleanups, indoor air quality testing and mold clearance inspections.

I also specialize in tenant and landlord relationship and documenting when a mold problem exists in a rental situation and can be a valuable Expert Witness in the unfortunate event of litigation.

I provide high quality super accurate and sensitive indoor air quality testing. My equipment is fully digital, can be field calibrated, and does not require pre-test cleaning and therefore eliminates erroneous results. This equipment utilizes Air-O-Cell cassettes which trap mold spores and interior contaminates for lab testing under a microscope by a certified professional laboratory. Samples are shipped overnight and returned within (2) business days.

In addition to air testing, when necessary, mold lift and swab sampling is used to scientifically identify what mold is growing. Some mold assessment professionals may tell you that testing is not necessary, however, I encourage testing on all mold assessment projects and here's why: A true scientist will collect all levels of available data to form a hypothesis, understand the problem and create a solution. Mold assessment reports are, typically otherwise, standardized verbiage only varied by a limited amount of data which can be collected and analyzed, such as relative humidity, size of mold contamination, type of mold present and cause of mold, if identifiable. My company is geared to provide reports of the highest quality and I use all of this information to furnish a high quality report. If you take away the ability to test, you have therefore removed 25% of analytical data from which the requirements for cleanup are based. Certain types of mold require more rigorous cleaning procedures. Some types of mold release mycotoxins which are highly toxic to breath and can be hazardous to health. Of course, testing is alway a recommendation and never a requirement.

I even have the ability to perform VOC testing.
