Calvin Bolt Inspections & Testing

"Relax, trust in quality and experience for your home inspection."

I am now "semi-retired" & just doing, mold inspections & testing, residential asbestos inspections & testing, & residential water testing. I am also doing those "specialty" inspections where you have an issue, or mystery, or other problem at your home or business that needs to be solved.
