MicroGARD works on mold testing and removal. On Thumbtack, the company describes itself as offering home mold assessments since 2010. A 2023 customer said Kerry arrived within 2 days with his meters to find where the water under a sagging kitchen floor was coming from, and that Kerry and his crew removed the cabinets and remediated the mold. A 2023 customer said MicroGard was hired for a mold remediation job in the kneewall areas of their bedrooms, and that 10 months later everything was holding up. In 2022, a customer said Kerry found mold on the surface only with no moisture in the walls, then removed the mold and treated the wall. A 2025 customer said Kerry inspected their basement, found an old instrument case with mold on it, and told them no remediation was needed. A 2025 customer was not happy with a bedroom remediation: they said it cost $4,250 for 5 hours of work, that plastic barriers taped to the walls pulled paint and plaster off, and that they later found mold on a closet baseboard that had been missed.
Not a happy customer, very disappointed with the outcome. The mold remediation was contained to a 12 x 24 bedroom and was limited to surface mold (mostly furniture) caused by condensation and humidity. The carpeting was also removed & discarded. The total cost was very expensive ($4,250) for what ended up being 5 hours of work. This is over $800 an hour! Here are a few things we were not happy about; 1. There were plastic barriers taped to the walls during the process which caused the paint/plaster to be pulled off the wall in several areas. Now we have another expense to fix this problem. 2. We had told Kerry to leave us the dumpster for a few more days (since we had paid for it up to a week), but he went ahead and told the company to remove it the following day. 3. We found additional mold on the closet baseboard that had been missed and we needed to clean it ourselves. Needless to say, we do not recommend this company.
Working with Kerry and Microgard was a pleasure. He explained the mold situation in great detail and made sure I understood what he was doing and why. He was reasonably priced and did a fabulous job. Being a woman house owner I am always sure to educate myself on any work that is being done to my home. He was respectful efficient and did the job in a through timely manner. I would certainly recommend him and use his services again!
Kerry was GREAT! He came do to an inspection, spent a LONG time checking the nooks and crannies of our basement, and educated us about what to look for if there is mold. He found one old item (instrument case) that had mold on it which is what was causing the slight smell (and I'm sure it had the mold when we moved in a couple of years ago). He then told us we were actually okay - no remediation needed! I think we have all come to expect that if someone COULD get a job out of us - even if it was nott really needed (we're all such cynics now, right?) - they would. It was refreshing and nice to meet someone who tells you how he sees it. If we ever do have a problem, he is definitely our guy. Choose MicroGard - you won't regret it.
They were excellent!
Kerry did a very professional job on the mold in our house. He explained everything he did(testing) , what he was going to do! He also gave information about a professional to seal the crack in our foundation that was causing the mold! Dave
