Hi everyone, I am also getting into the mold inspection business and have found your comments very helpful. I need some guidance on how to price a mold inspection. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A visual inspection or testing?

[Steven McClarie]

Thanks Jim, A visual/ swab, tape sample inspection. Also a full inspection with air sampling included.

[James E. Braun, CMI]

I have always priced them separately. I have noticed other inspectors price them in a package. My tape and air samples are the same price ($125 each) because the lab fees are the same. Somebody should be along soon to give you a package price.

Thanks Jim! I appreciate the help. I always try to find the right price; not too high or not too low. That part is hard when I'm just starting out. Thank you.

Steve I am also brand new to the growing world of mold. Before worrying about pricing you need to LEARN, and then when you think you know it all, repeat and learn some more. Start with NACHIs 2 different courses, the advanced NACCHI TV that Ben does is awesome. I've watched it several times even after I passed the exam. OK so you get the point LEARN !!!

ow you need to find a lab you feel comfy with and get their prices for the testing, and supplies then you can determine what you feel you want to make on each sample, test..or however you want to package your service.
