Working with this company has been a great experience. Dealing with mold in your home can be extremely stressful, and Ken (owner) and Kate (inspector) have made this journey as smooth as possible. Ken was very kind and answered all of my questions off the bat. Kate has gone above and beyond to guide us, and has taken a lot of time to explain her findings. We even got to have Foxy, the mold dog, take a visit to our house! It was incredible to witness her alert areas of the house which we were already concerned about. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Professional, good communication, knowledgeable, timely, and price was as expected. The report was thorough, but didn't include treatment recommendations since the order wasn't placed by a contractor. read more

I was in a bit of a time crunch and needed mold tests performed on our house asap; Ken and his team were absolutely amazing and were able to help us out! They were efficient, quick and communicative! We were able to get our tests done in time, we really appreciate how thorough and informative the whole process was. Thank you Precision Mold Testing! read more

They dont return calls and they wont give you a straight answer. They will use you to get paid $$.

Apparently home inspections usually do not include mold / mildew testing. My significant other performed research on Yelp and ended up using Precision Mold Testing based on all of the positive reviews. According to their website, Precision Mold Testing has been serving San Diego county since 2003. They were responsive and professional. The founder of Precision Mold Testing (Kenneth Okin) has experience as an Environmental and Health Safety Investigator and Consultant for the State of California. The results of the inspection was provided 2 days later. The report included the following information: - Scope of Work (and identification of any limitations) - Temperature and humidity levels of outside the property - Temperature and humidity levels of inside the property - Moisture readings, water stains and whether there was fungal growth for every room in the property - Recommendations based on inspection Overall, the inspection was very thorough. My significant other was present the entire time to follow the mold inspector around the property. Cost of the mold inspection was roughly $200 (as of July 2016). Highly recommend! read more

Ken was very thorough and explained the whole inspection process. The report we received helped us to make corrections to our home and medical care. Thanks Ken! read more

I worked with Ken at Precision Mold Testing. He is so friendly it was like talking with family! I appreciate all of his knowledge in mold testing and what I can do to make my home safer for me and my family. He suggested some things to make sure we update our home such as specific HEPA filters and air filtration systems after mold was discovered in our home. I feel a lot safer after working with him to make sure my home is safe. Ken always called me back right away and made sure he got all of my questions answered. I will absolutely be saving their number for the future! Thank you Ken and Precision Mold Testing! read more

Highly recommend Precision Mold testing. Ken was nothing short of thorough and would kindly explain everything he was looking for and testing. He took the time to listen to our concerns, and hypothesize what could be wrong, and followed up with solid solutions. If you want your inspection and testing done correctly, go to precision mold testing! read more

The Precision mold testing team was phenomenal. They were extremely helpful, responsive, and guided us in the mold testing process. I really appreciated their honesty and practical assistance helping us figure out the best testing for our needs. Would highly recommend! read more

I called this company after receiving a mold report from another company who told me I had a mold problem. Ken, called me back right away and took his time to review my mold test and questions for free. He even provided simple solutions for us to manage the small amount of mold we had because it would not require a mold company to treat the mold. While I was not a formal customer, I felt compelled to write a review because should you or I need him for mold testing and/or treatment, I will surely be using this company and highly recommend you do as well. With Ken's credentials, notable experience, patience and genuine interest in helping people, I don't think you can go wrong at all with his wonderful company. I am so grateful to you for your time today, Ken - thank you! read more

Anna and Cliff are awesome! So pleased that we hired them to find the source of a musty odor in our apartment (we are the tenants). Anna went above and beyond to identify the problems with our apartment and garage and is super knowledgeable about molds and their health impacts. They did not try to upsell any additional testing and made a point to explain the different types to testing available and the value of each type, in order to help us get the most information for our dollar. The turn-around time is nothing short of miraculous. read more

A house that I'm looking to buy has dried moisture stains in the ceiling, so I decided to give Precision a call to check for mold. They were able to come to the house the very next morning and were able to inspect the areas without any issue. Although I wasn't able to be there while they were doing the inspection, Evan was able to fill me in on what he was doing via phone and made sure he hit all the right spots. After looking at his report, I'm happy with what I got. Why the 4 stars though? I have to ding them due to the lack of attentiveness of Precision's representative, Anna, who I spoke with. As you can see, my name, Nicolas, does not have an "h". My email also does not have an "h" in it. Upon several exchanges (via text) of Anna telling me that she had sent me emails (one for the estimate and one for the report), I decide to have her send it to my work email. Once I open it up, lo and behold, I see that the email address she had previously been sending it to has an "h" in it (from the email chain). Mind you, in my very first text to her, I typed up my email address to her so that it was clear as day. And she assured me that she sent it to that email. Luckily, the information in the emails isn't that sensitive, but if it was.. that'd be a big nono. I'm happy that a Nicholas knows that I got mold testing done though. :) read more

We had a suspicion that there was mold growing in our office so we called to have someone come and test it. Ken was able to come the next day and did a great job explaining to us what was happening. A few days later we received a very detailed and informative report about what was found, if we should be concerned, etc. Ken and Precision Mold Testing did a great job and were friendly, professional, effective and informative read more

WOW! I could not be more impressed with Ken at Precision Mold Testing. In a six-minute phone call he solved my issue (regarding lumber mold) and told me mold testing would be unnecessary. He could have easily told me I needed his services, but he was honest and kind and thoroughly helpful. I will not hesitate to contact Ken for any and all future mold-related needs! read more

Evan showed up on time, that was very professional, educated myself and my client on the situation, and did an overall great job! Thank you, Susan Meyers-Pyke read more

After smelling mold in one room of the house for months, and trying various things to eradicate it (drywall replacement, repainting, etc.) I finally called Precision Mold Testing. Rob arrived just hours after my call and performed a very thorough examination of the entire house. He took air samples in two rooms (the ones where the smell was strongest) and said the results would come back in two days. This was true and it provided us with proof of the mold issue, but most helpful of all was his observation of a crack in the baseboard and his suggestion to pop it off and look behind it. That proved to be the source of the problem, as it was covered in mold. He also referred us to an excellent mold remediation contractor who very thoroughly eliminated all traces of the mold. I would absolutely recommend their services. read more

Ken did a wonderful job listening to our concerns and advising us on mitigating potential mold in the house. He did a great job testing the house for mold. We are very happy with Ken's work and appreciate his efforts. read more

Been using Precision a few times never had any issue. Recently had another Mold issue with fourplex i manage. Had the restoration company working on cleanup, but it failed the test three to four times. We were perplexed what was the cause. I decided to change mold testing company and it passed the first test! You have to ask how accurate is their testing??? read more

I own several properties and have used this company for inspections related to a simple kitchen sink leak to a full house inspection due to a tenant complaining of musty smell. Every time they have gone above and beyond in identifying the issue at hand. They never do unnecessary testing, which I greatly appreciate. I've met two of their inspectors, Rob and Leo, and they are both highly professional and knowledgeable. Once the report and lab results are ready, Ken (who is the owner of the company) personally discusses and explains everything if you request it. For me, someone with Google and WebMD mold education, Ken's knowledge, expertise and explanations have been irreplaceable! PMT....You have a great team and I highly recommend you! read more

I called them to request a service. They could've taken the job and charged me their regular fees. Instead they provided me with expert advice. They pointed me to other direction where I would get the job I needed done and save my money at the same time. Probably the best interaction I ever had with a business in my life. read more

I saw some weird stuff growing underneath my bathroom sink a few months back and my first thought was mold. After trying to figure out do-it-yourself fixes online, I discovered that mold really needs to be dealt with by a professional. I first picked Precision Mold Testing after reading through their website and all of their 5 star reviews on this Yelp listing. On their website it says they have been around since 2003, and for Southern California that is a pretty long time! My apartment complex wasn't even built until 2006! Their A+ BBB rating also put me at ease, I did not see any other mold testing companies in San Diego with a similar BBB rating. Rob came out for my scheduled inspection with some crazy testing devices, I love gadgets but I had never seen anything like these before. He was able to confirm my suspicions, it was indeed mold growing underneath my sink. I give Precision Mold Testing an A++ for their customer service. Rob was super friendly and knowledgeable. Very impressive. read more

Ken and Rob were a pleasure to work with. I needed a mold inspection performed ASAP on a house we were in escrow for, and Ken, the owner, was able to get Rob, the field manager, out at the house the next day to collect samples, and get me the results within 48 hours of my initial call to them. Precision offered the best price among all the mold testers I contacted and were super friendly and accessible throughout the whole process. read more

Our home inspection did not offer mold, asbestos and radon testing. I sent Precision Mold Testing a message late Thursday evening and on Friday at 7:30 a.m. Ken called me to talk about my requests for mold testing and was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and helped talk me through what we needed tested in the home. Ken was able to send someone out to my home by 11:30 a.m. the same day. Rob did the inspection on the house and was a wealth of knowledge. He was accurate in finding possibly mold areas in the home and we had the lab results before 6 p.m. that evening. Thank you again Precision Mold Testing for excellent customer service and great follow through! read more

Called these guys to do testing of a house we were buying. They are accessible, knowledgeable, friendly and not too expensive. The thing that bumped them from 4 stars to 5 for me is that I've had follow-up questions 2 or 3 times since they came out and have called to ask them for advice. Every time I've called, Ken, the owner, has taken lots of time to give me thorough and very helpful answers to all my questions. One other really good thing is that these guys DON'T do mold remediation. The reason that's important is that they have no conflict of interest. They have no motivation to tell you there's a problem if there isn't, or to encourage you to pay someone lots of money to take care of a problem if it's minor and you could do it yourself. read more

My kitchen suffered extensive damage from a leaking discharge hose on the dishwasher that was incorrectly installed by the company I bought it from (now part of a subrogation claim). I found Precision Mold Testing on Yelp and liked their reviews. On the day of the test Precision Mold Testing took the time to explain the process to me and educate me about mold testing and mold remediation. The insurance company was trying to get me to use one of their preferred vendors but I insisted on Precision Mold Testing because I wanted an independent review. When the mold test came back from the lab Precision Mold Testing took the time to explain the lab results to me. The extra time they spent (at no charge) explaining the test results to me enabled me to research further the complications of mold and the damage it causes. Precision Mold Testing has provided me with the knowledge I need to deal with the insurance company and mold remediation company. I need to be satisfied that the mold and damaged material is removed from my home and that my home is safe for the family to live in. The only company I would recommend out of this entire ordeal created by the water damage and resulting mold issues would be Precision Mold Testing. They are there for the owner of the home and no one else, if I could give them 12 stars I would. read more

I can't say enough. Precision Mold Testing was recommended by my home inspector. I followed up by reading the reviews. Not only were they very reasonable on pricing, they were super responsive. I needed the test done quickly during escrow. From the time I placed my initial call, they were at the house in about an hour. They immediately overnight-ed the samples to the lab (in the east coast). I had the report/results early the next day. Basically from about the time I called, I had the reports I needed in about 24 hours. If you need mold testing stop your search and call them. read more

This guys are always ready, have used them many times, and they have never disappointed us, Keep up the excellent work!!! Luis Chula Vista Painting Co. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Ken Okin and Precision Mold Testing during my several years as a Property Field Adjuster. Claims Adjusters generally experience very heavy workloads. As such, we need to partner with experts in various building restoration and repair fields who can assist us with customer service and quality results. Home Inspections--in particular, Mold Inspection Services--are important to any Adjuster looking to advance a file. More importantly, they are vital to an Adjuster's peace of mind. Mold testing lets you know that the remediation project was correctly performed according to protocol and the homeowners can now safely take residence of their home. Ken Okin and Precision Mold Testing were instrumental towards achieving these results. Having handled Property Claims in San Diego County since 2005, I can honestly state that I have utilized the services of probably every environmental/mold inspection/mold testing company that has come and gone. For nearly 9 years in San Diego, Precision Mold Testing was the company who provided me with the best results, on time, for the best price and service. Furthermore, Ken can be relied upon to treat your customers with the utmost respect and empathy. While other testing providers are in and out without so much as a "hello," Ken is mindful to engage everyone in the process and provides an added level of personal service--uncommon in this field. Although I have moved on from handling insurance claims and now manage my own restoration company, what hasn't changed is the very short list of experts I rely on. I am pleased that Ken and Precision Mold continues on that list. read more

We have been experiencing a lot of trouble with our apartment complex, regarding mold and mildew. They have done very little to help us. So, today (the beginning of a 3 day Labor Day weekend), I contacted Precision Mold Testing, to perform testing. One of the technicians (Rob) was kind of enough to call, while he was on vacation, to assist me. He connected me with Leo, who was willing to come today, at 3:00P. Talk about customer service. I am VERY impressed. I would definitely use them again. read more

Precision mold testing company was very professional to work with. I hired them to do a mold inspection for a condo that I am buying. It was very easy to schedule an appointment. They also noted down all the special requests that I had (I wanted special attention to be given to the laundry closet, and areas under kitchen and bathroom sinks).The inspector was extremely informative and I was very satisfied with the quality of the report provided to me. I highly recommend precision Mold testing for your mold inspection needs. read more

I started smelling a mold/musky smell in our laundry room and guest bathroom. Having a 22 month old and a new baby on the way, I was very worried that this could be a huge problem and it wasn't safe to have our kids in the house. I am huge on customer service and WOW! Rob at Precision Mold Testing promptly returned my message, answered all of my questions over the phone, wasn't pushy and give me time to make decision and then was over to our house testing for mold almost immediately. He is such a personable person and was really easy to talk to and ask questions. There were some major areas of concern for me and he checked all around the areas for moisture to give me complete peace of mind. He also gave me tips on what to do with some our problem areas which was super helpful. It's difficult to find a company that makes you feel like "family" in as big of a city as San Diego, but Rob did just that. We will definitely use them for our home and any of our rental properties in the future. read more

Extremely professional owner and inspector. Went above expectation in working out timing, quality and accuracy of testing. Even got seller to make big concession in price because of their testing. The owner even called owner of property to confirm problems found. Well Done! Thanks, Brad C read more

Awesome people!! Needed an inspection asap! They made it happen. No fuss no muss. As a mortgage banker I appreciate their effective way of doing business!!! Awesome! read more

We just had Anna out to test spots in our house after a blood test confirmed mold in one of our family members. She was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. She spent a good amount of time explaining things to use and testing our house. We highly recommend her for any mold testing needs you may have. Really grateful for her expertise. read more

I had a problem with my reading being inconclusive. Precision is stepping up to the plate to ensure they do everything correct and leave with a satisfied customer. Rob is going out of his way to be sure the house is mold free and safe for me. That is a good man. read more

I would not just say that this company goes above and beyond but also that the care & concern for my kids... I consider Ken & Rob family... I had an emergency issue and Rob was right there... I am so greatful for people like Ken & Rob they are not just in the business for $ but because they truly care... read more

Overall, I am satisfied with the inspection. They were on time, personally called me to go over the report, and put all of the recommendations in writing so that I had references for the request for repairs. My only issue was the price. I don't feel that $250 plus $75 per sample is necessary considering an entire home inspection is 400. read more

Rob went above and beyond to provide excellent service. I was overwhelmed due to a flood that occurred in my unit and he helped ease the stress with his helpful, calm demeanor. I left a voicemail and my call was returned and satisfied within the hour. I would recommend this company as it proved to be trustworthy when I needed it most! Thank you so much, Precision Mold Testing. No offense, but I hope I never work with you again (in all seriousness if I have another mold issue I promise to call you!). read more

I really like working with this company. Leo is awesome. They never over charge my clients. I am work as a real estate professional in Chula Vista. I sell homes any where and everywhere and any time I need a leak sourced or a mold testing I call Leo. These guys are efficient and fair. The best I have ever see in my last 15 years in the industry. Top Notch! read more

I found Precision Mold through Yelp. I'm always a skeptic about businesses with so many five star ratings, but they lived up to their reputation. Ken, the owner I think, was very responsive to my inquiry and all followup questions regarding the results. Their report is broken down in a way that's easy for the homeowner to read, which I appreciated. I would use them again if needed. read more
