What pushes a radon quote up?
House size is the big one. Angi's breakdown: about $800โ$1,200 up to 1,500 sq ft, $1,200โ$2,000 for 1,500โ2,500 sq ft, and $2,000โ$3,000 for 2,500โ4,000 sq ft.[Angi] Foundation type and how many suction points the house needs matter too. EPA's view is that most homes can be fixed for about the same cost as other common home repairs, and the system's fan has ongoing running costs.[EPA]
What should you ask a radon contractor?
- Can you show proof of state certification or professional proficiency credentials, plus liability insurance?
- Will you do diagnostic testing before designing the system?
- Does the system include a warning device in case it stops working?
- Is a post-installation test included, and is there a guarantee to reach 4 pCi/L or below? For how long?

What pushes a mold quote up?
Location, mostly. Angi's ranges by area: bathroom $500โ$1,000, crawl space $500โ$2,000, basement $500โ$3,000, attic $1,000โ$4,000, HVAC system $3,000โ$10,000, and whole-house jobs $10,000โ$30,000.[Angi] Lab sampling adds roughly $250โ$350 per air sample or $200โ$300 per swab,[HomeAdvisor] though EPA says sampling usually isn't needed when mold is visible.[EPA]
The cheapest mold job is the one that never gets big. EPA's 24โ48 hour drying window after a leak or flood is the best money-saving advice on this page.[EPA]
