Bona Fide is a Rhode Island home and mold inspection business; its website describes it as a licensed home inspector in Rhode Island since 1987 and lists Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket and East Providence as its service area. Its Rhode Island home inspector licence, HI-43738, is active on the state registry. A recent customer said Don described how he would measure for mold air spores and, after testing, gave recommendations on what to do. A recent customer also had a hard time: they said Don did not inspect underneath their manufactured home, only looking in with a flashlight, and that the floor turned out to have a significant area of rot. That customer said he also did not notice leaks between the panes of three windows or a cracked toilet bowl. In a 2025 review, a customer said they hired Don, the owner, for mold, remediation and air quality testing as well as a home inspection, and that he gave price breakdowns. A 2022 customer who was considering buying a home said Don met them at the home and they received his 25-page report within 48 hours. A 2022 customer said Don helped the family for three months and showed up in court against the landlord with a binder showing the judge how high the mold levels were. A 2021 customer called the service not very professional and said they would not recommend it.
Don came with a plethora of information and knowledge. He described the process of how he would measure for mold air spores, and after testing, gave us information and recommendations of what to do. Left us with vital and critical information. Would highly recommend him for air quality testing. Also, he does remediation as well. Job well done.
Don did not do a thourough job of inspecting my home. This is a manufactured home and the underneath should have been inspected. He just looked in with a flash light. It turned out the floor has a significant area of rot and the under floor insulation did not extend to the main bedroom area. I am awaiting an estimate for the repairs. Don also did not notice that three windows have leaks between the panes, the toilet bowl is cracked, and GFI outlets needed to be installed by the kitchen sink.

I wouldn?t hire anyone else then done to do this job! When I get my next new home, I am going to hire him. He?s the only professional who has been kind and honest to me, as well as great quality work very very, very thorough home inspection. He noticed so many things I would?ve never. This guy literally saved my home. He gave me some amazing advice and has a lot of experience. He?s the only one I plan on going to and I?m lucky I had him.
Excellent service. Professional and knowledgeable. Donald sp ent a lot of time explaining the process and taking samples. Highly recommend!
