"I needed to find a mold-remediation company to get rid of mold inside a hallway closet, so I decided to use Home Advisor by Angie. I had hardly finished setting up my request online when I received a call-back from Mario Alvarez, owner of ACE Services. The very next day, he came to my house, analyzed the issue and the cause, and gave me a verbal quote. That evening, I had a written proposal including his FL Licenses as Mold Assessor/Remediator and Asbestos Contractor. One week later he came to do the job in a punctual, professional, and safe manner and my closet looks clean and mold-less! If you need an experienced, knowledgeable, and personable mold-removal professional who prioritizes safety and neatness, Mario Alvarez is your man! Plus, he speaks perfect English and Spanish!"

"It went great! My first time remodeling. It went fairly smooth given my 32 yo home and it turned out beautifully. I supplied most of the materials and SBS supplied knowledgeable, skilled and professional tradesmen. They were always on time and were very respectful of my home. My job was small, but tedious. SBS was patient amd accommodating. SBS may soon remodel my master bathroom and my garage including painting the garage floor! I'm a VERY happy SBS customer. Thumbs up :)"

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

Asbestos siding can be dangerous, but it doesn't necessarily pose a health risk if it's in good condition and left undisturbed. The danger comes from inhaling asbestos fibers, which can be released if the siding is damaged, deteriorating, crumbling, or disturbed during remodeling or repairs. Exposure to these airborne fibers can cause serious, life-threatening diseases like asbestosis (lung scarring), mesothelioma (an aggressive cancer), and other lung cancers.

If your asbestos siding is intact, the general recommendation is to leave it alone. However, if it's damaged or you plan to renovate, it's crucial to handle it safely. Due to the significant health risks and the difficulty of containing the fibers, it is not recommended to perform any asbestos work yourself. Instead, you should hire a professional asbestos removal company to inspect, repair, encapsulate, or remove the material. The presence of asbestos can also negatively impact your property's value.

Asbestos is a carcinogen, meaning it increases the risk of cancer. Inhaling asbestos fibers is linked to several respiratory issues, including asbestosis, or scarring on the lungs, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, another type of cancer. There's also a link between asbestos exposure and an increased risk of colon cancer and other cancers of the digestive system.

Usually, the people most at risk for disease related to asbestos exposure are those who spend a lot of time working around the material without protection. Electricians who work with asbestos wire have a higher risk of developing mesothelioma or lung cancer due to their exposure.

It can be safe to live in a house with asbestos as long as the asbestos-containing materials are intact, in good condition, and not disturbed. Asbestos becomes dangerous only when its fibers are released into the air, which happens if the material is damaged, crumbling, or disturbed during renovation work. If you suspect asbestos is present, do not disturb it. Instead of removal, materials in good condition can sometimes be encapsulated. It is recommended to have regular professional inspections to monitor the condition of the asbestos and prevent health risks from potential exposure.

Currently, there is no federal licensing mandate for asbestos removal contractors. However, certain cities and states require certification and specialized training. For example, in New York, those handling asbestos must receive an Asbestos Handler Certification. The mandates dictating the necessary training or certifications vary based on state and local laws.

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.
