Commercial Mold Inspections
Diagnostics for offices, retail, multifamily, and more.
Short answer
Commercial mold inspections apply the same independent, documented approach to larger and occupied buildings — offices, retail, multifamily, hospitality, medical, and light-industrial spaces. Sterling coordinates around tenants and operations, evaluates moisture and mold conditions, and delivers documentation owners and managers can act on.

Typical timing
Scheduling and duration depend on building size, access, and occupancy. We plan the visit to minimize disruption.
Pricing
Commercial scope is quoted individually from the same published rates, by square footage, number of zones and air handlers, and access. Sampling is $175 per sample with volume breaks at four and eight, and clearance is priced per contained area. You receive the number in writing before any work begins.
