Larry's responsiveness, quick response time and explanation of the test run was GREAT. We didn't expect to get it back so quickly, but Larry took the time to explain it to me and I'm super happy that I did the test. The property needs to have some work done to reduce the mold spore counts which we are actively pursing. I've contacted Larry (3) times and every time, he's answered the phone on the first call and even on a Saturday. I would definitely use this company again and will refer friends. Great Job Larry!!!
Description of Work: Ran (2) tests in a pre-owned beach property that we are in the process of purchasing.

Larry sent me a copy of the report from the lab of my home's air quality and explained what it meant. The report indicated that my home's air quality is fine, which was a great comfort to me. I would recommend Larry and Mold Busters with great appreciation and confidence. While Larry shared with me corrections I should make in my home, such as in the basement where I tend to get standing water and have some open areas along the foundation. He was willing to give me a price for his service should I seek him to do it, but he also explained how I should approach t if I wanted to do the work myself. At no time did I ever feel Larry was pushy or attempting to get me to do work so he could make more money. Larry is a breath of fresh air in terms of dealing with contractors.
Description of Work: Larry came to my hose within two days of my call for an inspection. He did a meticulous inspection of my home and pointed out som e issue such as standing water in the basement and some mold present on one of my walls. He explained everything as he went along and then did an air sample in my living room. Larry was extremely professional and very friendly.

I had called several companies to come and give me estimates to remove mold from the crawl space of my home. Two companies came in and spent about 10 minutes looking at the space. One company quoted me $6,000.00 and the other company never submitted a quote to me. Yet another company came out and the guy didn't even go into the space , he spent a total of 4 minutes in my home and quoted me $4,000.00. I only contacted companies listed on Angie's List. Finally Larry from Mold Busters came in to give me an estimate. He fully inspected and measured the area of concern and then spent approximately 30 minutes with me explaining the whole mold abatement process to me. Larry and his crew came out on time and completed the job as described. He cleaned the area and treated the wood. He was very professional and would highly recommend his services.

The owner of the company showed up quickly and on schedule. He was able to do the work quickly. The price seems high for the amount of time the work required. Also, I do not know if spraying the mold with a fungicide and encapsulating it is as good as removing the mold and then treating the area.

It took more than a day to respond to my initial email and voicemail, but once he called me back he was able to explain why he thought this was not an issue that warranted my time and money employing his services. I asked him a lot of questions just to make sure and he was able to answer every one and convinced me that self remedy was adequate.
Description of Work: I had called describing a mold issue I found while tearing up carpet near the basement, and after talking to the owner he assured me that his services were not needed and that treating the area with a mold killer/blocker found in most hardware stores would be sufficient.

The owner, Larry Hobman, returned calls promptly and arrived at the house right on time. He listened carefully to my concerns and explained all the testing he was about to conduct. He conducted a thorough examination of the house including the attic and crawl space for any possible water leakage. He then took several air samples testing for an array of possible allergens. I received the results back within a week from an independent laboratory. He was very professional and upbeat. He gave suggestions when asked for brands of dehumidifiers and suggested a company that had the best prices. The peace of mind was certainly worth the cost. I would highly recommend Mold Busters.

Went extremely well. The job was done with expertise and professionalism, but what I also found most impressive was that he answered all my questions, small and large. I am sure I was asking some silly questions, but if they were, he never answered me as though they were trivial. He gave me follow up instructions after the job was completed. I have already recommended him to a friend and my Husband will be calling on him again in the near future. Seems we have some mold in an investment property that is causing us some concern and we would NOT trust anyone but him. I knew enough about mold prior to meeting him that you don't just let anyone handle this problem. This is the guy to call!

I called asking about a likely mold issue, with mold most likely being in our central air coils. The basement which was the intial source of it had already been addressed. He quickly talked himself out of buisness by recommending having an air conditioning/repair company fix it instead, as they'd probably be cheaper and more effective for this specific issue. I reached them immediately and got an honest assessment over the phone. It matches my expectations on what was wrong, but offered a different and more likely cheaper solution. I also made no mention of Angie's List, so it didn't seem like they'd be expecting a review. I'm afraid I did not get a name.

We though that we had a bad mold problem until Larry spent about 20 minutes with us on the phone listening to our description of the situation and offered a path forward. He answered all of our questions and assured us that he could help us without breaking the bank. We found his common sense approach to be much better than the overkill mold-testing suggested by others, and we scheduled an appointment. Mold Busters was kind enough to bring a HEPA filter to ensure that the work he was doing in the basement did not produce excess dust in the house. The drywall in the basement was installed to the basement floor, and some parts of the floor had become wet and moistened the wall, which resulted in mold growth. Mold Busters not only cut away a considerable amount of the affected drywall, but also the drywall which was not affected - to make sure it didn't get wet in the future. This was a refreshing bit of forethought and effort. Mold Busters also carefully explained various safe mold removal and mold inhibiting products on the market, and he applied one of these in all areas where wall studs may have been affected or mold might continue to grow. Overall, Mold Busters was professional, worked safely and quickly, and was uncommonly willing to share professional knowledge and expertise. We very much appreciate Larry's professionalism and honesty in providing only the services we needed and none of the unnecessary testing and mold removal techniques we were pitched by other mold remediation companies. We are very happy with Mold Busters service and highly recommend them.

Larry showed up and was very courteous and professional. He did a thorough inspection of the problem for us. He did various tests in different parts of the bathroom and gave us helpful suggestions of how we could easily fix the problem ourselves (we just needed to re-caulk a few places - these holes were letting water get into the wood behind the shower). He did an air quality test as well and we waited a week for those results (which turned out fine). He was very friendly and took the time to answer any questions. I think that our visit was at the end of a very busy day for him too. I would highly recommend his services and would definitely call him again if we have any problems or suspicions about mold.

Larry did a very thorough mold inspection, and provided helpful comments and ideas as we went thru the house together. He was prompt, and flexible to work around our schedule. The mold lab reports came back in the time period he said they would, and his follow up with us after the results arrived was very helpful and professional. We will definitely use Mold Busters in the future if the need arises, and strongly recommend the company.

Larry was great and is highly recommended. He did not make me wait for an appointment, showed up on time, was professional, quick, and neat. He did a great job and went above and beyond to do the job right. We had a leak in a PVC pipe behind our kitchen cabinets. Mold was growing and Larry made sure he looked everywhere and got every last speck of mold. He looked behind every cabinet and did not stop at only the areas we could see. My fear is that a random contractor will stop at just the areas they (or the home owner) can see. I have 100% confidence in Larry's work. One other thing, he was very pleasant also. He has all "A"s on Angie's list for a reason!

I recently had a toilet line break and flood a foyer. My wife was concerned with mold growing in the basement due to the leak. I called Mold Busters after checking out reviews posted on Angieslist. Larry came out very quickly, set up shop, educated me on what he was doing, and then provided me with an assessment. After speaking with Larry I felt completely confident with the information and service he provided. I did not feel he was trying to pile on fees or set me up for future-failure. With in a week I was provided with the results of his testing. Larry took the time to take me through the numbers until I confidently understood the results. I will not purchase a home without having had Mold Busters do what they do. I will refer Mold Busters with complete confidence to anyone I know who might be in need of mold testing or remediation.
