Thorough inspection and a fair quote. They explained the lab results in plain words and never pushed anything on us.
Our crawl space mold was worse than we thought. They handled the full remediation and installed a vapor barrier too.

We use an independent laboratory for clearance sampling so the results are objective and not tied to the remediation work itself.
