"Five stars, phenomenal customer service, very kind, very responsive! On Christmas eve, 2020 our house sustained major water damage. We called Fire Water Pros on a recommendation.

His communication was excellent throughout, he really helped us navigate all aspects of the clean up - insurance, mitigation, and rebuild.

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!"

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.

Hello, my name is Steven Bossard and I am the owner of Basements and Above Home Inspections. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and my business to you. At a very young age I started working for my father at his excavation business. I gained a great deal of knowledge about: foundations, basements, drainage and all areas under a house. After graduating for high school, I joined the military as an Airborne Combat Engineer. In the military I was able to learn a great deal more about other aspects of construction that rounded out my skill set. I went back to working with my father, after serving our country. I soon realized that constructing new homes was an amazing process and seemed more like an art. I moved on to work for a new home builder, framing and learning more about the wonderful art and craftsmanship of building. I have also worked in the fields of: home remodeling, light commercial remodeling, plumbing, electrical, log home construction, and modular home construction. For a length of time I owned my own new home/ remodeling business. Most recently I have been working in the field of construction management, over seeing all types of construction projects and tradesmen. I received my inspection license from NYS Lic. # 16000048041 I have come to realize, through remodeling, that there is a need for knowledgeable home inspectors. Weather you are a buyer or seller there is always a need for a good quality home inspection. I will inspect your home …. Basements and Above… to the best of my ability, with all my knowledge and never ending passion for construction.

"Steve with Basements and Above Home Inspections was great. He took his time thoroughly inspecting our potential new home and at the end reviewed his findings and even showed the ones that were accessible to us and explained the issue and possible solutions. He even took the time to answer all of our questions and not once did we ever feel rushed or like we were a nuisance. As first time homebuyers we had a lot of questions, we are glad that we did our own research when deciding which home inspector to hire and would highly recommend to anyone needing inspection or testing services."

FAQs for toxicity and mold removal projects in Cortland, NY

Remediation should keep mold from returning as long as the moisture source is eliminated. Fix leaks, control humidity, and replace water-damaged materials, then schedule periodic inspections to stay ahead of new growth. With those safeguards, your home can stay mold-free for the long haul while protecting both health and property value.

Most pros recommend leaving the home while they work on mold remediation. Removing mold stirs up airborne spores that can aggravate respiratory issues, and contractors can work more efficiently in an empty space. A short, temporary relocation keeps everyone in your family safe and lets the crew finish the job without interruption.

Mold shouldn’t return once the moisture problem is fixed. Stay vigilant: repair leaks right away, keep humidity below 50 percent with a dehumidifier placed in damp areas, and improve ventilation where needed. Routine checks for leaks and mold and quick repairs go a long way toward keeping your home mold-free.

Mold spores can trigger nasal congestion, throat irritation, coughing, wheezing, eye irritation, or skin rashes. People with asthma, allergies, or weakened immune systems often feel the effects sooner and more intensely. Some molds also release mycotoxins linked to serious respiratory or neurological issues. Swift remediation and better ventilation are the best defenses.
