Very abrasive encounter. The estimate was not done after all. Mr. Shain refused to inspect the issue before making several incorrect assumptions. Was told I had no project, and that was quite wrong!

Excellent, very professionally done. Mr. Shain has an impressive list of certifications and academic qualifications. He is an expert, and it showed. Also to his credit he refused to do an additional test I requested because he thought it would be irrelevant and a waste of money. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Shain.

Mike gave us a great price compared to a couple competitors and it was very obvious from speaking with him how knowledgeable he was on the subject and a complete straight shooter about the work that needed to be done. He came in with his crew and did a great cleanup job and kept in touch to make sure everything was correct for the insurance inspection afterwards. I can not recommend NY Indoor Air Quality Solutions enough!

I called Michael Shain, owner and operator of New York Indoor Air Quality Solutions in request of having the indoor air quality of my home analyzed post mold remediation work performed by another company. After giving Mike a short description of my problem(s) and why I was requesting the IAQ analysis, Mike was not convinced that it was necessary and did not want me to waste money paying for unnecessary IAQ analysis and did not try to sell me services at anytime. Mikes sincere concern was for my health and well being, not for his profit. So, we made an appointment for that Saturday. Mike arrived a few minutes early and inspected my residence. He inspected every room and gave me a great deal of his invaluable knowledge and advice. Upon my request for IAQ analysis Mike did take air samples, had analysis performed and as he suspected mold spore counts were in a normal range. Michael Shain is very honest, personable, intelligent and knowledgeable. I regret not calling New York Indoor Air Quality Solutions first.

As honest as the day is long. Never tried to sell me on anything. Was as knowledgable and educated as a college professor, and answered everyone of my questions. I requested additional air samples to be taken in my basement, but Mike politely explained that that I would be just wasting my money. He felt he he what he needed to properly diagnostic the situation. When was the last time some told you not to give them money!!! I had ServePro come in and do the same testing, and the technician did not know his elbow from his you know what. I wish there were more dedicated people like Mike for plumbing, roofing, and electrical work!!! Thank you Mike!!

He responded to my e-mails and my phone calls in a very timely fashion. In sum, working with Mike was a very positive experience. I would gladly work with him again.

It is my pleasure to give Michael Shain of NY Indoor Air Quality Solutions an unqualified recommendation. Everything from my first conversation with him to the work he performed was professional, thorough, and far exceeded my expectations. Even before I hired him he spent a lot of time on the phone with me and with the person who did the mold inspection. He performed the work exactly when he told me he would and he went back a few days later to make sure that everything was perfect. Although I hope you don't get mold, if you do Michael is the only person to use.

Mike Shain was very easy to work with and incredibly helpful. Another provider told us we needed mold remediation in our basement and provided a quote. I called Mike to get a second opinion and estimate for the same work. Mike came to our house very quickly and did an inspection. He explained what he found and that it was not mold in our basement. I'm so glad I called him, he was thorough and explained in detail all his findings. Would highly recommend.

All work was done with extreme care. We need to have sheetrock removed and carted away. Then the bare walls were scrubbed and treated. We had air scrubbers and Mike let us use them for a few extra days.
Description of Work: We had a mold issue in our basement due to some water we took in a few years ago. We had mold testing done and we had high concentration of mold especially in a basement closet. Mike and his team came took out all the areas that showed evidence of mold. He and his workmen were helpful and professional. We had the whole basement cleaned and remediated. The mold was removed and disposed of according to code. Mike is very knowledgeable and very helpful in helping us to control any mold growth in the future. He even came back to help us with a dehumidifier. I highly recommend using him with any mold issue you might have in your home. We are happily mold free!

Even though Michael came and gave us about an hour of his time, he did not charge us for inspecting our attic and giving us some helpful suggestions. After getting an energy audit by another company, we were told that we had a mold problem in our attic and we should have a professional come and analyze the situation. We received one estimate that our attic was a concern and that we should have approximately $5000 of work done to remove the old blown in insulation and have the walls chemically treated. Michael came and told us that he did not see any signs of mold, and if there was any, it was unlikely to get into our house as the air was going to rise up and through the attic, rather than move down into the house. He did recommend we hire someone to increase the ventilation in our attic with another fan and some other venting possibilities. We greatly appreciated Michael's integrity and that he wasn't just trying to make money off of us. He also provided us with very useful information we will use and put our money towards, rather than get work done that wasn't critical. He is a great guy and we would contact him again if needed, and could highly recommend him.

Michael Shain of NY Indoor Air Quality Solution was professional, considerate of our concerns, on time, and thorough from the beginning of the job until its completion. We hired his company to remove the sheetrock, insulation, and hardwood floor and sanitize the areas contaminated with mold. He and his assistance did everything from A to Z, including establishing a corridor of plastic to remove the tainted items without spreading to any other area of our home, which I can't stress enough gave us peace of mind that we had hired the right company for this work. They vacuumed, applied plant based microbial treatment, and left (for 3 days) air machines to dry the area, and prior to picking up their equipment Michael Shain followed up with a phone call making sure everything was working well and no other issues had presented. If, like me, mold makes you extremely nervous NY Indoor Air Quality Solutions is the company to put your mind at ease and we will keep their number on file should we ever need. We highly recommend them.

The owner of the company, Michael, showed for the appointment promptly. He explained the procedure, inspected the house and took 3 air samples. During his inspection he let us know of his findings and gave us many ideas on what things needed to be done in the home to remedy the problem. Michael was at the home for an hour and a half ; he was very professional and definitely has expertise in the area of mild/mildew testing and remediation. I would recommend him to anyone who needed this type of service.

Thank you [Member Name Removed]. Yes, I remember we discovered a high level of TVOC's and you were not feeling well. I assume some of the suggestions we made helped. Yes, it is important to invest in what is some very expensive equipment but it certainly can detect what most are not capable of finding. Thanks again for the opportunity and glowing review.

After realizing that my home had mold I hired Michael Shain of NY Air Quality Solutions to perform an air quality testing. It was verified that the home needed to be remediated. In addition to the basement a bathroom ceiling was also remediated. Mr. Shain was a terrific source of knowledge all around. He had suggestions about how to go about working with the homeowners insurance company. When it came time for the remediation process, Mr. Shain was on the job along with his crew. The belongings were handled with consideration. I was made aware of anything valuable that I may have overlooked before. They were extremely considerate of my things. The crew were hard working and efficient. It was a trouble-free, unproblematic operation for me. I was left with a completely clean basement and my home wasn't messed up at all! You couldn't even tell that workers were at my house. Not a speck of dirt or dust was left behind. If there is the need for mold remediation at your home, call Michael Shain of NY Air Quality Solution his company will do right by you and get the job done.

I called Mike to inquire about VOC testing. He couldn't come out to me since I am not in is service area. Despite him not being able to come out to me, he listened to my problem and gave me insightful advice. He referred me to someone who is in my area even though he didn't have to. I would have hired him to come out if I could.

He has a Masters degree worked on Wall Street and has a background in building. He takes his work very seriously and is always willing to advise about the problems associated with Mold, And to top it off he was the best estimate I received, by far. Thank you Michael !
