I recently sought quotes from 3 radon mitigation companies for work in my crawl space in an old…read morehome. Two other companies sent out inspectors and offered me quotes based on that inspection. Central Illinois Radon declined to inspect first, after 3 offers on my part to have them see it first, and committed several times in writing to a quote that came in under the other bids. Specifically, I asked, "Since you did not do an inspection, how can I best compare this to other quotes I have gotten, some of which are coming in higher? If I go with you, is this really all I will pay? Thanks again!" He replied, "Hi Meghan, my estimates are firm. Unless there is something out of the ordinary with the home? I've never increased the price of an install. If I under bid the project I take the hit sort of speak. Some Companies hire laborers and aren't on site completing the work themselves which drives up the cost. I'm on site completing the install. Hope this helps." I replied, "I guess the only crawl space I know is my own, so I don't know what is and is not ordinary. The home is old (as you know) but has had a lot of additions over the years, I think it's a bit atypical? I did get another estimate in that wasn't super high, though it did come in above yours. I'd be happy to move forward if you feel comfortable doing so. If you prefer to inspect first, I of course would understand that." He confirmed no need for inspection and that the price would remain firm. When they arrived to do the job today, they spent 10 minutes down there and told me there is no way to mitigate radon and that they were not able to complete the job -and left. Again, two other companies determined, after inspection, that the mitigation is indeed possible. So it seems that either Central Illinois Radon essentially backed out of their written commitment to eat the higher cost, OR they are not in fact capable to do radon mitigation like other companies in town who ostensibly own the same kind of business. Meanwhile the next company (one of the original bidders) can't get me in for another 7 weeks, which may impact my closing date on my house, and that's on top of the costs and hassle in the way I'd planned my day (e.g., paid to board my dog) and the other projects around the scheduled mitigation. It was a shocking and frustrating experience and I'd caution all to avoid working with the company, as they back out of commitments at best and are not capable at worst.

David helped us with Radon mitigation. They offer the best prices for best job. It took us just 7…read moredays from quote to actual installation. Fine job done. Values went from over 6 to under 0.50 now. Highly recommended. They quote the best prices in Central Illinois, I compared them with 5 other providers.
