"From the greeting when I first called until the completion of the project, every person I interacted with at Top Notch was profesional and friendly.

He did such a great job, I signed a contract right then and canceled the additional appointments I had with other companies to come out. Mindy in the office worked on the permits and constantly kept me up to date.

"badly, (Name Removed) was extremely rude and disagreeable. He originally came out Jan 6 and looked over the job. complained about tall grass and the fact it was a kennel (bigger job). Cut the brush Tuesday, texted and sent a picture. finally contacted me and stated he would be back at 8 am Jan 13th. did not show till after 9. I was unable to be there due to his being late. approx 10-1030 he telephoned and complained bitterly about the amount of work that needed to be done. complained about electric wire running across tank? following his leaving it was only Wednesday morning when i the tank was again full and th3 electric was not reconnected. He failed to check the pump when he had the tank empty and left it that way without telling me. Now i must pay AGAIN to have the work done and must lose additional time and money. When i contacted him (Name Removed) to request he either 1. fix his mess or 2. return my money he hung-up on me. I have already contacted another provider. Since this man will not have an opportunity to fix his mess I want my money ($450) returned for work poorly and shoddily done."

"I just had my kitchen completely remodeled by Next Level, and I am beyond impressed! The whole project took only ten days start to finish, which is incredible considering the quality of the work. The new open-concept design, quartz countertops, and cabinets look amazing, exactly what I wanted and more. Tim and his crew were fantastic. They showed up on time every day, paid close attention to the little details, and left the place spotless when they were done. I was actually out of town for most of the remodel, but Tim kept me in the loop with video calls, so I could see the progress every step of the way. Now that I’m home and seeing it in person, it’s even more beautiful than I imagined. I’m already planning to have Next Level do my bathroom remodels next because I’m convinced they’re the best around. Highly recommend!"

"These guys are liars and crooks. Benjamin Franklin rep told me a tech would come out and give me a free estimate for work on a hot water heater that had stopped heating. The tech showed up and spent 10 minutes testing some electric contact points. Said he thought it might be the digital control unit, and showed me some replacement units on his phone, and gave me an estimate to install a replacement. I told him I'd think about it. He then tells me I owe a $271 diagnostic fee. No diagnostic fee was ever mentioned by the Ben Franklin rep. I paid it to get rid of the guy, but as far as I'm concerned, they robbed me. I then researched the company and found out they're a private Equity company that bought up a bunch of local plumbing businesses. These guys are thieves. "

"Hired Neli for a virtual repair of our Whirlpool washer. Tom was VERY knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We came up with a solid diagnosis of my issue and the replacement parts required. Tom advised me to consider the value of repairing, parts costs and time required, vs. a new purchase and the effort to repair was not going to be simple. We chatted about the pros/cons a lot. As the washer was 6+ years old and there were holiday sales I opted to purchase a new unit. This is the 3rd time I have worked with Neli. All instances have been very productive and positive."

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Yes, even a one-time exposure to asbestos could result in future illness, but everyone reacts differently. Some people may be able to have multiple exposures without suffering harm, while others cannot. Because you cannot be certain how your body will react and because the illness may not show up for 10 to 40 years after the inhalation of the fibers, you should always take precautions around any substance you think might contain asbestos.

In most cities, it isn’t legal to cover asbestos tile. This is because it’s difficult for the average homeowner to know if they’re causing fibers to become airborne. While there is a method of sealing the asbestos in place—called encapsulation—this needs to be done by a pro, and isn’t appropriate for all situations. 

Often found in old insulation, tiles, and roofing materials in pre-1980s buildings.

According to the National Cancer Institute, asbestos-related diseases can take anywhere from 10 to 40 years for symptoms to appear. The health risks increase with prolonged and heavier exposure. Risk factors also include:

  • Amount of exposure

  • Chemical makeup, size, and shape of the asbestos fibers

  • Length of time a person is exposed to asbestos

  • Genetic factors 

  • Source of exposure (direct exposure or secondhand exposure from someone directly exposed)

Asbestos-containing materials are not easily affected by water and do not disintegrate or dissolve when exposed to it. However, porous materials can deteriorate due to water exposure, leading to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The settling of asbestos fibers can also occur as water makes them heavy, which reduces the risk of airborne exposure, though future disturbance of the materials could cause risk. Wetting asbestos-containing materials does not constitute safe removal, and the proper handling and disposal of asbestos materials should be left to professionals.
