Indoor Air Quality Testing
Donny at Bona Fide went above and beyond for us. He performed multiple mold tests and explained the results with a level of detail and clarity that really helped us make informed decisions. He was patient, honest, and incredibly thorough, giving us insight into what was causing the issues and what to expect moving forward. In a situation that could have felt overwhelming, Donny provided steady guidance and real reassurance. We’re very grateful for his help and highly recommend him.

Great customer service, working with Don, the owner. He is very professional and very thorough and makes you feel comfortable the whole time by giving you exact details of everything he is doing and price breakdowns as well which I really appreciate. I had to hire him for mold, remediation and air quality testing, as well as home inspection, and all of these jobs were thoroughly thoroughly detailed and I was highly satisfied. I would definitely hire him again.

We can't say enough about the quality of service we received. A thorough inspection was conducted with top customer service provided throughout the process. Before, during and after the inspection, Don provided us with expert information, answered our questions immediately and thoughtfully. His report was detailed and understandable, with photos to help us understand his findings.
We would recommend him to friends, family, or anyone who seeks his inspection expertise!

He cares ! About you and your families well being. My son had asthma diagnosed at 9 months and he came in and helped solve the problem. He is knowledgeable and direct with quick response time and genuine support. The quality of my home improved because of him. Thank you ð ð ½

I cannot say enough nice things about Don, and I would highly recommend hiring him. Me and my fiancé have been looking for a house for the past few months and have used Don for a mold inspection and a home inspection. He was very professionally and diligent and he went above and beyond for us. If you are looking for someone to do an amazing job and have your best interest in mind, he is by far the best person to hire. I would recommend him every time.

I worked with Don to do an in depth building and mold inspection. I cannot recommend him enough. I have done a significant amount of buying and selling of real estate over the years and I can't think of an inspection company that has been as thorough and responsive as Don with Bona Fide. On the latest project, he saved me what could have been hundreds of thousands of dollars by helping me avoid some significant issues with both the building and toxic mold present in the building. Thank you, Don!

Don went ABOVE AND BEYOND for my family. He has been helping us for 3 months with tastings, levels, eduction behind it all and giving us his educated advice! We ended up in court with the landlord and Don showed up on our behalf and had a binder and portfolio ready to present to the judge showing the judge how incredibly high the mold levels were and explaining the negatives effects itâ s had on my family!! He has checked up on us several times because he knows how sick and stressed we have been! Iâ m so blessed to have met him because without his help we would still be in a horrible situation.!! THANK YOU DON!!!

It was very meticulous with numerous photos and we would not hesitate to contact Don again for his service and we would highly recommend Don and Bona Fide home and Mold inspection to anyone who is looking for a professional home and mold inspection company.

Don is the best in the business! He was so great, I hired him twice! In the first home he inspected, Don was able to quickly show me all the mold in the house, which was the deal breaker (there were other problems with the home). I trusted Donâ s inspection for the second home, and I am glad I did. We are now closing in August! Don was extremely knowledgeable, personable, always early for each inspection, and provided a behind expected service. He really has the buyers back! I am recommending Bona Fide Home and Mold Inspections to anyone looking to buy a house!

Don Lambert, the owner of this company is a get nice man, and is very informative. He will tell your what's what, and leave you feeling confident in your choice to have hired him. He inspected our new home, and also did an air test for mold (separate service from home inspection) and we can gladly say we recommend him for sure!!

Don was very responsive and a great communicator during a stressful time of an inspection. I appreciated how accommodating Don was to schedule the inspection on a Saturday as I am working during the week. Don was very thorough during the inspection process and pointed out issues that needed to be addressed. Dons report was extremely helpful in outlining the follow up items. issues. I would hire Don again for any future inspections.

Bona Fide was thorough and took the time to explain what he was doing and looking for. I'm sorry that I'm not specific but it was 2 1/2 years ago.

Mold & Toxic Material Test
Absolutely professional! The closest I get to "bad news" is that they test but they don't remediate... because they take avoiding conflict of interest VERY seriously. I will definitely have Bona Fide do the follow-up testing to ensure the contractor does the job right, and would recommend the company to anyone.
