About Our House Story
A homeowner’s journey documenting environmental health concerns and sharing quality provider discoveries
How Our House Story Began
Our journey started in 2015 when we purchased our first home and discovered what many homeowners face: unexpected environmental health concerns that required immediate attention. What began as a personal challenge documenting our home improvement projects evolved into a comprehensive resource for fellow homeowners navigating similar situations.
We quickly learned that finding quality professionals for mold testing and air quality concerns requires careful research and verification. Through our own experience dealing with home mold issues and indoor air quality improvement needs, we developed a methodology for evaluating service providers based on professional standards, transparent processes, and proven results.
What We’ve Learned Along the Way
Environmental Testing Process
Through firsthand experience, we’ve documented the complete environmental testing process from initial inspection through remediation verification. Our project documentation covers mold testing procedures, air quality assessments, and moisture source identification.
Contractor Evaluation
We developed a systematic approach to evaluating contractors based on certifications, methodology transparency, and results verification. Our contractor reviews focus on professionalism, communication quality, and adherence to industry standards.
Our Quality Recognition Philosophy
After years of documenting home environmental health concerns, we’ve developed a clear understanding of what distinguishes exceptional service providers from average ones. Our approach combines thorough research with practical verification to identify contractors who consistently deliver quality results.
Through our home improvement journey, we learned to recognize quality work by understanding industry standards. Professional remediation services should follow standards established by the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification), ensuring safe and effective mold remediation practices. This knowledge helps us evaluate potential contractors and verify their methodologies.
When purely green came recommended through our community research process, we applied our evaluation criteria to verify their professionalism and expertise. Their transparent approach to testing procedures, clear communication throughout the process, and commitment to following established safety protocols validated the recommendations we’d received from trusted sources.
