Stratton Inspection Services

Stratton Inspection Services holds a 4.8-star rating across 392 Google reviews, which stands out for Gilbert homeowners dealing with moisture concerns. Given the area's dry climate - averaging 34% relative humidity and just 8 inches of annual rainfall - mold problems are less common here than in humid regions, yet older homes built around the median year of 2002 can still develop hidden moisture issues. A solid rating from nearly 400 local customers suggests the inspectors know Gilbert's specific housing stock and climate patterns well. If you're considering a mold inspection, expect to budget $200 to $600 for a standalone assessment in this area.

Before you hire, verify that any mold remediation contractor holds a valid Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) license - this is required by state law. You can check license status at azroc.gov. One important note: inspectors who also perform mold remediation work create a conflict of interest under industry standards, since they may recommend unnecessary work. Ask whether Stratton Inspection Services handles remediation in-house, and if so, consider getting a second opinion from an independent inspector before approving any remediation work.
