I have been reading this site for months now.

It seems that most are addressing the tract home builders.

I have been looking for a custom home builder that has a mold prevention and mold
pretreatment program as described here.

It really wasnt that hard. Most of the custom builders were already using the microshield
mold prevention program so we simple had to becided on a homedesign.

I had a chance to review first hand the program from a buyer perspective. I was very
impressed with the information my builder provided me.

The microshield technicians spent time with me reviewing the complete program. With alot of
builders out there doing nothing it was good to see that most here are microshielding their
homes.

I'm proud to say that my home has been microshielded.
