Financing for remediation. Flat prices for inspections.
Financing is available for mold remediation and water damage work; ask about it with your free on-site estimate. Inspections are a flat published price, paid at the visit, with no deposits and no add-on fees.
Short answer
Financing is available for mold remediation and water damage work; ask about it with your free on-site estimate. For payment, Sterling accepts Card, Check, Cash and Zelle, and commercial properties can also pay by wire transfer. Inspections are paid at the visit at the published package price, with nothing added afterwards.
Mold remediation and water damage
Mold remediation ranges from about $300 into five figures and up, depending on what's wrong and what has to be done. Water damage work is quoted on site. Both are quoted in writing after a free on-site estimate, and both can be financed: ask at the estimate and we'll go over it with your quote.
Commercial properties
Commercial, HOA, and multi-unit work can additionally settle by wire transfer, and can be invoiced rather than paid on site. Buildings over 4,000 sq ft, common areas, and portfolios are scoped and quoted individually before any visit — see how commercial scoping works.
Why is the price the same whether or not you find mold?
Because that is the entire point of an independent inspection.
A remediation company can afford to inspect for free because the inspection is a sales call — the money is in the work it recommends. An inspection from Sterling can't turn into a Sterling remediation — Florida law bars it for 12 months — so the assessment itself is the product and it has to be priced like one.
The practical consequence is that the fee does not move based on what is found. An inspection that rules a problem out costs exactly what one that finds a failed shower pan costs. There is no version of an inspection where Sterling earns more by finding more.
Laboratory analysis, where sampling is warranted, is performed by Daane Labs, an independent accredited laboratory. Sterling does not analyse its own samples.
