Jeff Gorum

Jeff Gorum carries a 4.9-star rating across 207 Google reviews, which is a strong signal in Las Cruces where older homes (median construction year 1988) face real moisture challenges. The region's dry climate - averaging just 10 inches of annual rainfall and 35% relative humidity - generally works in homeowners' favor, but aging houses still develop mold problems that need expert eyes. That rating suggests he's earned trust locally for identifying what's actually there.

Before you hire anyone for mold work, confirm they hold a current New Mexico contractor's license (NMCID) if remediation is involved. It's worth asking whether the inspector also performs remediation, since industry standards flag that as a potential conflict of interest - someone who profits from finding mold may have incentive to recommend unnecessary work. A standalone inspection in this area typically costs $200 to $600, so get that estimate upfront and verify all credentials independently before signing anything.
