I am incredibly pleased with the results and the peace of mind Daryl and MoldEx have provided me. 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. 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.
Description of Work: 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. 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.

He responded very quickly, and dropped by the same afternoon to look at the problem. In the course of a few more minutes he was able to tell that it had not infiltrated into the drywall, and that no remediation was needed. Although I offered to pay for the housecall, he did not charge me for his time. I rate him A+ for honesty and integrity and would recommend him to anyone.

My house was making me sick and Daryl helped me narrow down what to fix. He was always on time, very easy to work with, very informative, and he came by so many times. He also helped me get a better Air Duct cleaning services referral since when he checked the prior company had not done a good job and even showed me where to look and how it should be cleaned. It took us awhile to figure what to fix, but I can finally live in my house again. I would highly recommend him.

Daryl came out next day provided quote in two days, did a pristine job with remediation and rebuild of cabinet boxes. Looks even better than before. He is busy so he couldn't start work for a little over a week, but he also had the best quote by far (tried 3 other services) so it was worth the wait.

Very well. Moldex is very professional both in the work and keeping me informed about what was being done and why.
Description of Work: Determine if mold was present due to a possible tiny plumbing leak (we did). Find the source of the leak and determine the extent of the mold (not bad). Once the plumber (not Moldex) fixed the leak, remove any contaminated surfaces, dry out all surfaces and spray to prevent reoccurrence. Re-install drywall.

I reached out to Daryl through Angie's List and, even though, he was booked out for several weeks, he called me back right away and recommended a mold testing company that he works with, who I see is also highly rated on Angie's List. He advised me that the company that does the testing should be independent from the company that does the remediation, which makes complete sense. He also spent a significant amount of time on the phone withe me to educate me about how the tests are conducted and which labs are most reputable in our area. He was so helpful and responsive that, if given the chance again, I would definitely use his company for remediation work and even renovation work.

Water was collecting under a bath tub but it didn't seem to be damaging the surrounding walls. Couldn't figure out what was going on. Daryl diagnosed the problem suggesting it was due to a leaking tub liner. Apparently the previous owner had a liner installed but its presence was not apparent to me. Daryl provided the diagnosis over the phone without charge.

This is my second time using Moldex for my mold remediation repairs (we had discovered more mold in another part of the house) and I could not be happier with the results. Daryl is very timely, professional, and the results are near perfect. I would recommend Moldex to anyone needing testing and/or remediation especially due to the quality of workmanship.

Daryl came to the house to inspect a water damage problem from a slow leak in a water supply line. After looking at the site of the leak, examining the kitchen cabinets around it, and pulling up bedroom carpet to check the pad, baseboard and the wall nearest the leak, he found no signs of mold. He gave me some recommendations for replacing the carpet and for disinfecting the floor before we have new carpet installed next month. At the end of the inspection, he didn't charge me anything for his time! I would call him right away if another problem like this one develops.
Description of Work: Inspected the kitchen and adjoining bedroom for possible mold caused by a slow leak in a water supply line.

+ -1 moreI had a leak in my master bathroom shower. The leak caused mold to enter the wall and caused the drywall to crumble. I called Daryl and he came out the next day and did testing. He provided me with a detailed bid and report on what kinds of mold were in the wall. He also tested the air quality in the house. Daryl returned after I accepted his bid and did all of the work. The new drywall looks great. He matched it with the rest of the bathroom including the texture. Daryl was very professional and he was always at my home exactly when he said he would be. I recommend using him anytime you find mold in your home.

From start to finish it was a wonderful experience working with Daryl. He is very professional and well informed about mold issues and suggested various things that we could do to prevent further mold development. One special note is that he does not hire any third party contractors for any reconstruction projects, but he does it himself. I really loved his attention to detail and his sense of humor. Overall I'm glad i called moldex and Daryl was top notch.
Description of Work: Daryl responded immediately and came home to get air samples for air quality and also took surface samples in areas where he suspected mold presence. After results came back, he came back and did the remediation.

+ -1 moreVery impressed with the work provided by MoldEx. Our guest bedroom had mold damage from a previously repaired issue. MoldEx was in and out in three days after using environmental scubbers for the air, removing the mold from all surfaces, and repairing the wall. The paint colors used match perfectly! We received a follow-up report to confirm that the mold has been cleared. We feel safe in our upstairs again! Would definitely recommend to friends and use again (although I hope we do not have to!). Thanks MoldEx!

Came out and supposedly tested for mold in the house as I was having multiple new health issues. I was concerned about the Arizona Room and he said he wasn't concerned about that area, and didn't test there. Found some mold under bathroom sink and wanted to charge $1500.00 to remediate. Husband remediated for under $100.00. Said there was no mold anywhere else in the house. My health continued to deteriorate and after a few more months I was deathly ill. Called another testing company who does not do remediation. They ONLY test. They came out, tested thoroughly and found massive amounts of mold in air handler and throughout Arizona Room!! Was so bad we had to move from the house.

+ -1 moreThis year I discovered two areas of mold contamination in two different rooms. I called Moldex to get an estimate done and he was able to come out quickly. Daryl Choby was helpful, personable, and tested several areas of visible mold and then tested the air in the house in a few locations. Soon after he began working and all areas were nicely closed off by Daryl so there was no contamination. Overall the process took a few days and the process was very tidy and the mold is gone. The texture on the walls is a close match to the original and it is hard to tell that we had contamination at all. I would definitely recommend Moldex in the future and if I ever have to call him again I will.
Description of Work: Took samples and tested mold in two rooms, then he did the necessary demolition, disposal, remediation, decontamination, deep cleaned the walls. Area was quarantined and dried out during process. Afterwards wall was entirely repaired including texture and paint.

Daryl was very helpful and responsive to our needs throughout the entire process. He was punctual and courteous during each of his visits and took ample time to answer all our questions to our satisfaction not only while on site, but also before/after the work was performed via email and phone. He completed the work as agreed to, which has resulted in a complete elimination of the original mold problem that we contacted Moldex about. Daryl?s even came back an extra time after the job was completed to re-verify that the mold was eliminated by taking another air sample. Overall, we are very satisfied and would recommend Moldex to others.
Description of Work: Upon moving into our new house, we notice an earthy/musty odor in some rooms. Moldex pinpointed location of mold odor, which was coming from underneath the air handler. Daryl then took sample of the surface mold to determine amount and type present, and took air multiple samples to assess resulting contamination in different areas. Daryl diagnosed the problem and recommended course of treatment, which including remediating structure and platform underneath air handler, and disassembling air handler to eliminate mold from its interior.

Darly was incredible and I am healthier for the work he did. I have been suffering from sinus issues and constant infections for the past 7 months. I was unable to breath at night so my sleep was always disturbed. I called Daryl out of desperation and concern for my health and my husband's health. After all the work was completed I have not had a sinus infection or any sinus issues. I sleep great and wake up refreshed. I should have done this much sooner! The work Daryl completed is amazing, you can tell it was done by a perfectionist. It is not only functional, it looks great!!!!
Description of Work: Daryl examined our house, and air system. He found mold so he replaced the inside of our kitchen sink cabinet and the stand supporting the water heater.
