Frequently Asked Questions about Mold Testing and Inspection
Do you offer mold remediation services?

What if I have questions after the inspection?
Rick Bruce is available daily from 7am - 7pm should you ever have any questions. When you call Bay Area Mold Pros you will speak with the owner, not an answering service.
How much does an inspection cost?
Our thorough inspection is $495. Please view our mold services to see what is included.
