We had Dutch's out twice, first for a big mold problem in our attic related to bad ventilation, and then later again when we discovered some mold above our basement windows. Rick and Mark were great to work with both times. You can tell they really care about the quality of work and their customers. I was very freaked out upon finding out that our attic was covered about 2/3 of the way with mold and Rick came out right away the next day to check it out and do a full inspection of the house. He clearly explained what was causing the mold issues and how to get rid of the mold and change our ventilation issues so it wouldn't happen again. After they were done remediating, which was done all in one day, the attic looked great. They also made sure to cover our carpets and cleaned up after themselves. The price was also lower than other places and very fair. Rick even came out again a few months later just to check and make sure everything still looked good after we fixed the ventilation and it did. We later discovered some surface mold that had developed above our old basement windows. Rick and Mark came out and took a look and also checked the attic again and said it still looked great! Mark came back out and sanitized the areas above the windows, and now you can't even tell there was any mold there. He was quick and efficient and so nice! He also carefully covered all our carpets where he would be walking. Thank you Rick and Mark for making dealing with mold an easy and efficient experience!

Rick was easy to work with from the first phone call to project completion. I had a tight window for repairs to be made due to closing date and they took care of it promptly. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you and plan to use again on future projects.

Very well. I couldn't find the recommended product at two local stores, but I was able to order it online for a reasonable price. The process for using the product was just as described and didn't take very long. I'm pleased with the results. I really appreciate getting good advice for free, and if I ever have a larger problem, I'd contact Dutch's Mold Inspection again. I will also keep the contact to refer to others.

Dutch's mold crew were thorough, professional and responsive in cleaning out our partially finished basement. We had mold growing behind the finished walls that had escaped into the basement and was beginning to give us allergies, and they removed everything in the basement that could harbor spores or be hiding mold (carpet, siding, drywall, insulation) and cleaned what was left. Other contractors had suggested removing only the siding etc in the finished half of the basement, and had quoted a lower price, but I was glad after the fact we had gone with Dutch's more thorough removal as there was mold beginning to grow in hard-to-reach spots throughout the basement, and in some of the insulation around the rim joist. They also were the only contractor we talked to who put an air filter inside the living space as an extra precaution, in addition to filtering the basement air and cleaning everything with HEPA vacs before sanitizing. The crew took a long time going over things with us after the work was done, including pointing out non-mold -related issues like wiring they had capped off after removing fixtures and a weakened structural support beam they uncovered. We had a follow-up concern a little after the project was done, and they came right back to check on it and go over the situation with us. It wasn't a project we wanted to have to do, but it was reassuring to work with this company.

I have been very satisfied with their professionalism, timeliness, explanations and follow through.
Description of Work
We have twice hired Dutch's Mold Inspections to remediate mold in areas of our home. In 2018, the company remediated mold in the attic caused primarily by improperly installed bathroom fan venting and by overall ventilation. In 2019, they removed large items from our basement for disposal and cleaned/treated mildew on walls and items staying that was caused by a footer blocked with mud.

Great. In and out in two days. Wonderful work ethic. Crew of 3-4 both days. Filled 1.5 dumpsters full with dry wall, ceiling tile, bags of garbage that I had produced for them in cleaning my basement, etc. etc. Sanitized all and wiped down. Accepted ANgie's List and senior coupons readily, which assisted in price.

Rick came and did a great job of inspecting and explaining causes of the mold growth. His team was very punctual and professional. They did a great job minimizing any tear outs and even pointed out items around that house that need attention that were not necessarily related to their work (which I really appreciated).

Very professional services. We discussed my concerns with possible mold behind drywall in a basement that had severe corrective mold services over a decade ago previous to us buying the house. We are about to do a mild upgrade to that area but had a slight mold smell that had us concerned. He checked all areas of the walls and other areas of the basement that adjoin the room and even lifted up the edge of the carpet (it is getting replaced) to make sure there was no systemic problem. He did identify topical mold on original (1940's) paneling and ceiling with his opinion that it was most likely residual from the earlier issues. He recommended a topical environmentally green cleaning product that would remedy the issue. He also suggested I replace the carpet with laminate or tile as it would be the best flooring for the area. I plan to take his suggestion.

I spoke to Rick on the phone about the small mold situation in my bathroom. In short, after hearing everything I had to say about the situation, Rick concluded that what I had done to treat the mold myself was appropriate for the situation. Rather than try to sell me something I didn't need, Rick told me remaining steps that I could do to treat what was left on my own. Even though he didn't come out and perform any services, his honesty and willingness to walk me through what I had to do was incredibly appreciated. I would absolutely call him back if it was determined that I needed something done from a professional.

The job went very well. Rick first tested for mold in the basement and, in two other parts of the house. Test results came back in about a week. We then set up a time for the work to be done. One of the things I appreciated most, was that Rick was very responsive to emails and phone calls. Punctuality was superior, calling even when he was going to be about 5-10 minutes late. Rick was very professional and knowledgeable. We had an excellent experience with Dutch's Mold Inspections.

The team was flexible with our timing needs, professional in communication, and prompt. I was happy with the work, felt confident that the situation was resolved, and relieved my home would be safe to move into.
Description of Work
Rick quoted us for mold remediation on a house we were hoping to buy many months ago. His quote was the highest, but I chose his company immediately because he was clearly the most knowledgeable on mold and its removal from the home. We appreciated his ability to work with our contractor on a large renovation project. Mold was removed from the basement walls, the joists on the first and second floor, with a concentration in a 2nd floor bedroom ceiling.

Spent close to 45 minutes inspecting the job and said there was no mold issue to deal with. Two weeks prior another company recommended by our real estate agent wanted over $2000.00 for the same work. He did not even want to take money and we had to beg him to at least take a small fee for his time. What an honest man!

Great. Rick gave great advice, removed an unnecessary separation wall to improve circulation, got rid of the stuff that had mold on it and educated me on when to be seriously concerned and when mold isn't the end of the world. I appreciated that he didn't use scare tactics like I've seen on some programs that blow the mold thing out of proportion - he was real and sincere and very reasonable.

Very well. Arrived at 7:30am as promised. Took 2 days as promised. Crew worked hard and had the basement cleared of all personal items in about 5 hours. Then began deconstruction. Was guided through the basement several times by the supervisors. Day 2 was more deconstruction and then chemical remediation. Was again led through the process. Very pleased with the services offered. The made it clear that they did NOT deal with remodeling, all focused on remediation. So no pressure on what they removed, they were not generating more work for themselves.

They removed furniture, carpet and various items form the basement. They sanitized and biowiped all hard surface items, walls and floors. They protected my first and second floors by installing containment curtains. They used air scrubbers and commercial dehumidifies to create a safe environment. Rick and his crew were fantastic. They were very respectful of my home and did a great clean up after the remediation. They were professional, personable and answered all of my questions. Rick is extremely knowledgeable about this mold STUFF he made me feel comfortable with and confident in the remediation process. If I ever have a mold problem again, I really hope that I don't; Dutch's Mold Inspections, LLC will be my first call.

When we were searching for mold remediation, we had several quotes. We knew Dutch's Mold Inspections were not the cheapest estimate we received, but we decided to use their services because they seemed like the most thorough, and they did not disappoint. When our appointment was scheduled for 7:30 am, Rick was knocking on our door at 7:30 am on the dot. His team quickly and professionally set up dehumidifiers and plastic sheeting to limit exposure from our basement to the rest of our house. Rick had a team of three workers, who very thoroughly but very efficiently (and quickly!) took down drywall and treated for mold. Rick was very personable and took his time to show us everything that they did. They came in at 7:30 and were out by 1:00 pm. Great work, I wish all home improvement projects were this easy!
Description of Work
Treated mold in our basement caused by storm-related water damage and insufficient drainage from our downspouts. Removed drywall installed in basement by previous owner, which had been drawing in additional moisture through the walls. Stripped the walls down to the cinderblock and treated for mold with sanitizer, as well as with extensive dehumidifiers.
