"Plain and simple, go with Rick and 1st Rate Construction. As a homeowner, I HAVE struggled to find companies where the person that quotes the work, is the person that does the work. Rick is the owner-operator of his company and will be your point of contact/work the job. He removed lead paint windows and soffit/fascia for me, and some asbestos ductwork. All great work. Thanks Rick !"
"Manager from Keller Tile installation told me regulations prevented him from installing tile in my bathrooms without an asbestos test. I told him the home was built in 1984, the vinyl bathroom floor was replaced in hours one day, purchased from Lowes. The test costed $250 and 4sq inch was removed for the test. It tested negative for asbestos. It has been 3 weeks since I paid for toilets 3, and 2 tile installation. I called and requested the materials order to be delivered to my home. After several days a Saturday after noon time of 4:15 to 8:15 pm was given. I confirmed. The materials were not delivered. DONNA did a very good , professional test and accommodated me with a printed copy for my household files. Donna was on time and efficient. Donna had a pleasant personality."
"Lisa Spielvogel was professional and made the entire inspection process easy. They performed asbestos testing on my basement tile flooring. I used the mail-in sample service, which Lisa explained to me and made it easy to understand. Jason Spielvogel's report was detailed and easy to understand. I am now hiring a local asbestos abatement company to come out and remove the asbestos from my basement. Once they received my samples it only took four business days to receive my results. Lisa called me and sent me the report in my e-mail. I definitely recommend Tri State and want to thank them for their help."
"Highly recommend!! Keven was great! He Identified the problem quickly and was very thorough in identifying all the other hidden places affected by mold. He clearly knows what he’s doing, and is very pleasant to work with!"

Typically, homeowners insurance does not cover asbestos removal or abatement. Most policies exclude coverage for pollutants, contaminants, and hazardous materials, which includes asbestos. Because asbestos is often considered a pre-existing condition in older homes, its removal is usually viewed as a maintenance expense rather than an insurable loss. However, there is a key exception: if asbestos-containing materials are discovered or disturbed due to a covered event, such as a fire or storm, your policy may cover the abatement as part of the necessary repairs. For example, if a storm damages your roof and an insurance adjuster discovers asbestos while inspecting the damage, the policy might pay for the removal cost. If removal is not covered and is outside your budget, you might consider encapsulating the asbestos. The viability of this option depends on the condition of the contaminated materials. It is recommended to speak with an asbestos abatement specialist to understand your options.
While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.
Duration varies, commonly from a few days to a week, based on building assessment.
It is strongly advised not to touch or disturb asbestos-containing materials unless necessary. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when the material is damaged or disturbed, posing serious health risks if inhaled. It is best to leave any handling of asbestos to trained professionals who can remove the asbestos safely.
Homeowners’ insurance doesn’t often cover the cost to remove asbestos siding, which averages about $2,900. Insurance policies treat the removal of asbestos siding as regular home maintenance, which insurance doesn’t cover. If your siding suffers damage in a storm, though, it’s possible the insurer may cover the replacement cost, even if the damaged siding contains asbestos.
