"George and his entire company were amazing! George sat down with us and explained every detail of the work, and left us with material that gave us an education on Radon itself. This was very helpful for many reasons.. The work itself was conducted in an effective, clean, respectful and thoughtful way by his crew., and he came by to ensure completion and satisfaction. The crew even helped us with something adjacent to their job for no extra charge. I cannot recommend this company enough!"

Pickett's Painting is a local family-owned business based in Vestal, NY. We have over 35 years experience in all aspects of painting: interior and exterior, commercial and residential.

"Pickett's painting is a testament to how much you can get away with when you have an affable personality, DON'T BE FOOLED. I hired Ron in March 2023 and red flags flew pretty quickly when he and his helper tracked snow in many times, taped or draped nothing and dragged furniture away from walls rather than carrying. By the end of the job we had paint along carpet in all three room's trim he painted, paint on bedding, broken furniture supports from dragging, paint on outlets and light fixtures (he removed no plate or trim covers), drip marks, missed spots in all rooms, very patchy paint coverage on trim, unpatched holes, a mess left where they rinsed brushes and massive disappointment. Pickett's is a landlord special, don't hire him if you have an ounce of care for your space or value for a dollar."

Mold identification, mold test kits and testing supplies. If you suspect you have a mold problem give us a call toll free and we can walk you through your testing options.

"The self-test product was as expected. The reports require additional research to interpret and understand, so seemed more targeted at professionals."

We are a Licensed & Bonded Public Claims Adjusting Firm headquartered and founded in Tampa Bay, Florida. We represent clients in Florida, Georgia & Virginia. Our goal is to make sure that our clients receive ALL the money that they deserve from the insurance carrier. Our firm will communicate with the insurance company and act as an advocate for the policyholder during the claims process. We prepare a full scope and itemized estimate of damage for residential or commercial properties. We review the insurance policy for coverage and explain the claims process, as well as duties after a loss, and what to expect from the insurance carrier throughout the process of the claim.

"Reliable Claims Adjusting provided invaluable assistance, ensuring that our insurance provider paid an appropriate amount based on our policy and the loss we had experienced. When we first filed our claim with the insurance company they tried to deny it completely, which was really frightening. Andrew with Reliable Claims Adjusting explained the whole process of working with a public adjuster, and ultimately was able to secure funds that should cover all of our needed repairs. We are incredibly grateful!"

We are a disaster restoration company that has technicians on standby to respond to emergency situations. We offer special promotions on any self paying jobs that are not covered by your homeowners insurance. Special additional discount for senior citizens and military veterans.

"Extremely professional crew, took great care in moving about and working in my home. They left not only the ducts, but the area they were working in cleaner than when they entered my home. I'm not easily impressed, but their consideration and attention to detail won me over."

Please consider me for your home inspection needs. I serve Onondaga, Cayuga, Oswego, Cortland, Madison, and Saratoga counties. Many have found comfort in knowing that their home is being inspected by a mechanical engineer with a dozen years of engineering experience. Others have found comfort in knowing that I have several investment properties in the area and that I do all my own work. I use a continuous radon monitor so I can have lab-analyzed radon results to you in 2 days, as opposed to 7-14 days with charcoal filters. I have eKey access so I don’t need a realtor to let me in/out of the home. I do home inspections, radon inspections, well flow testing, septic dye testing, and water quality testing. My goal is to point out all safety issues and to find costly defects that you can use as leverage to lower the price of your purchase.

FAQs for mold & toxic material test projects in Cortland, NY

Some companies offer a no‑cost phone or video consultation that screens for red flags. If the discussion points to a real issue, the pro will recommend a paid on‑site inspection. The complimentary call clarifies whether you need full testing, but it isn’t a substitute for samples, lab work, or a written report. Always confirm what the free service covers before you schedule.

A standard inspection, which includes basic air and surface samples, takes an average of two hours. If the pro needs to probe hidden spaces, such as wall cavities or ductwork, plan on up to six hours. Extra time allows the inspector to reach tight areas, collect additional samples, and document findings. Lab analysis is a separate process and often adds several business days to the overall timeframe before you receive the full report.

Mold thrives where moisture lingers and air flow is poor. Common hotspots include bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, window sills, HVAC vents, fireplaces, crawl spaces, and enclosed attics. Check these areas regularly—especially after leaks or high‑humidity weather—to catch growth early and avoid costly repairs.

Unchecked mold can knock 20% to 37% off a home’s market value because buyers worry about hidden damage and health risks. Even after remediation, visible staining or a history of major moisture issues can still lower offers and prolong the time on the market. Addressing mold quickly protects both your property’s structural integrity and its resale appeal.
