In real experience, (easy to go to the forum and read some) IF you get enough people there, you make it clear that EVERYONE will be called.

How was your experience and did you have any regrets at all? 

They should say, no, I will do it for you in hopes to get business.I think that a good GC with decades of experience should charge, say $200-$300 for 1) a review of the Inspector's report, 2) a jobsite visit, plus 3) a budget with prices that are pretty close.

I've worked with a lot of property managers and landlords on mold remediation projects and my experience has shown me the best time to find mold is when the property is completely vacant, and here's why.First, when you find mold you should verify that what is found is in fact mold.

Even if you get a professional radon test which reads the levels over a period of about 48 hours, they are relatively inexpensive ($150-$250 in my experience).

My experience suggests that if cost is a deciding factor, you probably don't need an LLC.

I appreciate the detailed suggestions and personal experiences you shared.

As they've gotten settled the experience has become a nightmare.
