"I appreciate so much the job that Luke did for me in Oakhurst. I had been seeing a pulmonologist for breathing problems. She asked me if I had any mold in my home and I told her I wasn't aware of any. When I got home I decided to clean out my bathroom under the sink cabinet. And realized I did have a problem. I called Luke at Fresno mold busters. I am so glad that I did. My breathing is so much better after my home has been treated. Luke is very knowledgeable, professional and thorough. I am looking forward to my next appt. with my pulmonologist!! Oh and by the way Luke is a very nice man, too. "
