I found him after seeing his name come up repeatedly in a…read moreReddit discussion about mold, asbestos, and lead testing, and he absolutely lived up to the praise. Before we even scheduled the inspection, he spent over an hour on the phone answering all of my questions and explaining the testing process in a way that was incredibly thorough and easy to understand. He didn't just collect samples - he took the time to educate us on how to safely manage asbestos and lead during our renovation and what to keep in mind long after we move in. I also felt like he went above and beyond to be careful not to oversample - which I really appreciated as we navigate a budget for all these home repairs. He focused on highest-value spots (with the lowest visibility, visually!) As first-time homeowners navigating construction (and expecting our first baby), we found having someone so knowledgeable, patient, and generous with his time invaluable. It's rare to find someone with this level of expertise who genuinely cares about helping their clients make informed decisions. If we ever need environmental testing again, Steve will be my first call.

I was able to secure an appointment for testing the next day. They explained step by step, the process of testing and lab work. every thing was exactly as they told me. Within a 24 period, I had the samples taken, sent to the lab, and final analysis of the test results. This is what I call "efficiency". thank you Brian and Rob. Alice, Fresno County

We were having some issues with mold in our house. Granted, we live in a California Coastal…read moreenvironment that's perfect for mold growth, but geez, it seemed a little out of control. It felt like every time I opened a cabinet or closet I'd find more mold growing on surfaces, stored items, and cloths! It was pretty bad. Not to mention the frequent mold on and around the edges of the interior windows. I kept cleaning it up and washing cloths, but the mold just kept coming back. We were fairly sure that the mold was causing us to have persistent congestion and irritated airways. This was especially troublesome because we had a new baby and he was always soooo congested! To the point where we actually consulted an ENT doctor. We connected with Lauren and Geoffrey at Pacific Mold Pros for some help. They were so incredibly kind, knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do. They provided step by step recommendations and specific instructions that were catered to our needs and our situation. It took several months but we stayed the course and trusted them and sure enough it was successful! Our house is so much healthier to live in now and we do NOT have those respiratory symptoms that were previously so concerning. And we immediately noticed such a difference for our little guy - he stopped snoring when sleeping! Now with just a little ongoing maintenance we are keeping the mold out of our home. Thank you Pacific Mold Pros. Seriously, so grateful for you guys! Sincerely, Noah

Very knowledgeable and thorough with the mold inspection--would Geoffrey recommend to anyone!read more

He is very thorough and spent allot of time helping me understand the inspection and what it would take to remedy any defects he found. About a day after he completed his inspection he provided a 30 page report, complete with pictures, showing what needed to be fixed and what was in good shape. Everything from small to large, emphasizing what was really important and what could wait. I feel confident in the house I finally chose to buy; and I know I can call Darrell with any questions I may have. Darrell is a consummate professional and an expert at what he does. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Left Coast Inspections to friends or family. Thanks Darrell! Brian Pearcy

We had a mold issue in our primary bedroom. Ricky gave a thorough quote and helped to feel…read moreconfident that the remediation scope would fully address the issue. His team set up a solid containment, performed the work to scope, and passed clearance testing with a third party company. They also offered to leave their containment up (including some temp poles) for the duration of my build-back project. The team was careful of my house during the demo which involved carrying large, heavy pieces of shower glass down some stairs and through some turns. The only downside I found during the process was the need to pay for the site visit for the quote. This payment is credited to the bill and it wound up being a non-issue due to selecting BH environmental for the job, but none of the other companies I had out requested payment for the quoting visit.

None of this process was communicated clearly to us. I appreciate the owner's effort to make it right with a refund of the fee. I wouldn't even recommend requesting an estimate from these people. I wish I hadn't. The star is because someone technically came out. They were the only ones who charged a fee to come out, and their inspector spent a total of maybe 50 seconds in the bathroom that had water damage. The person who came out told us would have an estimate within a day, and no estimate. Unlike the other companies that came out, he made no inquiry about the age of the house or mention of required asbestos testing. Overall, his visit did not inspire confidence that any estimate we did get (if we got one) would be valid or accurate (not require change orders). Maybe the reason why some reviewers say they're cheaper is that they cut corners? (We wouldn't know as we never got our estimate.) We were really dissatisfied even with our (extremely brief) visual inspection experience. Communication with respect to the process was not good (as we don't know what's going on). Clearly my short list selection process failed me here. ETA: Apparently they were waiting on payment for the estimate (no one made clear what this process was), which we finally got, and indeed did not include asbestos testing.
