Worst visual inspection ever and they charge 50CAD+HST for 5mins visual inspection. The guy came in with a flashlight and a mold tester. Stayed in my basement for 5mins, took a mold sample and then quoted me for 3500CAD for mold removal and disinfect. During the phone call, I said clearly I know there is a mold problem and what I want is professional level advise on how serious the problem is and what are the different methods I can take. The guy who came in never tried to look at other areas of my basement, only one part of basement wall. This looks to me is a joke. Removing insulation and vapor barrier was quoted for 1750CAD. If you buy material from HD, the maximum you spent would be 200CAD. I should have trusted Home Star's review. Don't trust Google review.

Company Response

Mr. He,
As a family-operated business, we pride ourselves on working with our clients and providing them with the best possible solutions to their indoor environmental concerns.
We’re sorry to learn that you were left dissatisfied with our services.
On our end, we wish you would have given us a call, or sent us an email to explain the dissatisfaction in your expectations of the services we rendered. We’re in this business to work with people; not against them.
To learn about this situation through a public forum, without any opportunity to amend, refund, or explain our process is a little upsetting.
We provided an appointment for you within 24-hours of your call during the holiday season, dispatched a certified mold inspector with over 10 years of experience, conducted an instant mold swab analysis, and sent you an official estimate within an hour of the appointment.
If the estimate was too high, or the fast, next-day service not as expected, we would love to have had an opportunity to work with you in finding an amicable resolution.
We could have negotiated the price, issued a refund, or at the very least, help you to better understand the cost breakdown of the estimate itself. And all of this could have been done with a quick phone call!

We’re still here to help, whenever needed.

Best regards,
MB

We are extremely happy with Paramount Pest Control's service! We started to see some mice droppings recently and decided to go with professionals coz we have a 5-month baby and we wanted to get rid of this issue ASAP. I sent email late on Boxing Day and wasn't expecting Dave to give me a call in the same day but he did! He then showed up at 245pm yesterday and took a close examination from interior and exterior. He looked everywhere in the house and also surroundings of the house and eventually found a huge hold under siding which seems was left there by the builders when this house was built! He filled out the hole and even went to HD to get more silicon to make it unbreakable for animals which is way beyond a standard pest control procedure! After this, he took me for a tour again in the basement and setup traps and he again with his detective intuition, found a slow water leaking of my kitchen drain pipe! He helped putting a pan to stop dripping. To me, he is more like a house detective and took care of my house as is his own! He spent almost 4 hours in the house just to confirm he didn't miss any details. I have reviewed many contractors in Ottawa area and I am very picky when giving starts but Dave surely deserve this 5-star rating! I will also post on Home Star my review.
