Best $674 I spent. $295 for service and $133 each for 3 air quality samples. Curt Mankoff gave me peace of mind and found no elevated mold. If I went to a mold remediation specialist I may have spent thousands. Very professional and educational. He was also prompt. Came the next day and results came day after. I encourage anyone who wants an independent evaluation to use Kurt from Mold Inspection Specialists,

The owner, Curt Mankoff, listened carefully to my concerns, made time in his schedule to come to our home the next day and conducted an incredibly thorough visual exam and took air samples from all floors and an outside sample as a control. He showed great concern and called me with the lab results on the very next business day. The report showed NO presence of dangerous molds whatsoever. His quality work and quick response not only saved us potentially thousands of dollars in unnecessary remediation based on the previous fraudulent test but also gave us great peace of mind regarding our children's health/safety. Curt is the extremely rare service provider that is an absolute expert in his field, completely professional and genuinely cares about the people with whom he deals. I could not recommend him more strongly!

Curt quickly made himself available to fit my schedule despite a last minute request. His explanation of what his services entailed was very clear and easy-to-understand. I felt comfortable with the fact that Curt was not in the remediation business; but offered a purely independent inspection service. The entire process took less than an hour after which Curt summarized his findings and offered suggestions on next steps. Very professional and reliable service which I would highly recommend.

Curt was a prompt, professional who provided us with a written report of his assessment and suggestions for next steps. His scope of services do not extend beyond the inspection and reporting stage.

I am so glad I talked to Curt first. He was a very knowledgable and spent a lot of time explaining things to me and giving advice. He is a real pro and helped me figure out a cost effective plan.

I was very impressed with Curt's knowledge about mold. He identified my mold problem and gave excellent advice on how to properly remove the mold from our basement. He prices were very competitive - I checked around to see what others charged. Curt did not try to alarm me. He was very calm and helpful with all the information I needed to have a safe environment for my grandchild. I highly recommend his services.

Curt was  very professional, helpful and given some great advice.   He arrived on time even though I was late, he was very patient., calm and professional.  He went up the ladder of my attic, stay there and scan the area with his flash light. He came down and gave me a detailed report on his visual inspection that I have mold and later I decided to get air samples in my crawl space and the results came back that I have mold there too. He responded very promptly and always return my call or text.
Now the thing that I was shock was the price of the visual.  290.00 for a visual is kinda insane after I've had a chance to check out the other competitors here.  You go up the ladder and you don't go  around inside the attic and scan  around on the ladder and come back down and charge 290.??? At least, go in and give the impression that 290.00 was earned.  I'm sorry, that is just outrageous from what I've checked around here afterwards.  The prices were more reasonable around Angie's list.. As far as sample test. It's pretty standard price. 
I think most shoppers are looking to get value for their hard earn money.  You will then always get repeat customers with value and service.  If the visual was half the cost of what I paid for? Then yes, he would've gotten an A for everything. 


Response from Mold Inspection Specialists
"1) I appreciate that [Removed member name] gave me an "A" grade for professionalism - I was, as he stated: "very professional, helpful and gave some great advice. He arrived on time, he was very pleasant, calm and professional." 2) Mr. Au paid for and received a highly professional level of service and he knew the fee in advance. 3) My peer competition have fees equal to mine and higher in some cases. These are people who, like myself, ONLY perform mold inspections and testing - NO MOLD REMOVAL. That is why I am neutral and unbiased in my service. 4) Other companies that charge somewhat lower fees are typically involved in other services and mold removal (Big conflict of interest - they just want to get in the door). They are not unbiased mold experts. I am a mold expert specializing exclusively in mold inspections and have performed over 7000."

If you ever suspect you have toxic mold START the process with a seasoned MOLD professional, Curt.  Do not go with a generic home inspection company.
I was in a situation where we were starting to cycle thru mold testing cycles - it was getting very expensive (at ~ $500 a pop) and we were not getting any guidance about where the source of the mold could be from the testing company - just that the results say there is toxic mold.
Curt was able to guide me  - tell me what most likely happened, what to do / what not to do, and guide the mold remediation so we could be clear that we had cleaned up fully - so we would know if there was an additional source of mold.  As a result of his guidance - we were able to completely clean up all the mold and get out of the cycle of mold testing.
In hindsight, I wish I had known about Curt and would have used him for the MOLD testing because he provided clear guidance about how to handle the situation.  I did not get this from the existing home inspection company that was doing the testing.
As I had already started with an existing home inspection company, it didn't make sense to switch companies at the point we were in the process.  Curt guided me and didn't charge me for his guidance.  
Curt is a true professional and knows his business. It was a pleasure to work with him.

Curt did a great job with the mold inspection.  He was extremely flexible with his calendar, very knowledgeable about mold, and responsive.  He was able to educate us about the differences in the type of mold and how to remediate it.

His mold inspection report was provided earlier than anticipated.  In addition, Curt only does mold testing and no remediation which I preferred because it means that he was objective and independent in his assessment.  I would definitely use him again and recommend to others.

Curt is very knowledgeable; he quickly surveyed the area and explained his approach to testing; the cost of testing is largely based upon the number of samples taken; He focused on areas where mold would likely grow and avoided tests near cracks likely due to structural settling (not water).  He was quick to respond to my service call and test results were available within a week. I strongly recommend his services.
