" I wasn't sure this would end up to be a good idea but, it turned out a very pleasant experience. They did it all from start to finish. They spent the first day and a half gathering the trash and debris left by the tenants. They must have pulled four trailers worth of mess out to the dump. Then they went through the whole place; removing nails from the walls, doing the patchwork on the plaster and lathe (where we wanted it repaired and pulled out where we wanted drywall replaced), sanding all the spots and removing the mess. Then they started in with the heavy repairs in the putting in a couple of windows and hanging the drywall where needed, they taped off all the walls, fixtures and windows to ready it for paint. After painting and waiting for it to dry; then they started outside clearing out the brush and debris left behind. They also worked to dress up the yard with great ideas like window boxes and fresh flowers! . They did all the paint work inside the house and finished up by touching up the outside paint. They went back through the house last time and shampooed the carpets, cleaned the stove and fridge, and put fresh new chalk in all the needed spots. I know I may not have all the right terminology but, these folks Really saved the day! When they left the place was spotless and the time and money we spent was well worth giving up the headache of that mess to someone else and finding they'd done a great job! Wonderful!"
"I was refereed to this company through my home owners insurance. I paid him on the 7th with a 2500.00 check as a deposit. on the 13th after he had repeatedly been over he kept on "forgetting" to bring the contract. I drew one up on my legal pad and had him sign it so I do have an agreement. In the contract was removal and haul away of debris and old shower stall, mold treatment, application of Dry Lock on walls, Instillation of new larger sump pump and tank, and instillation of new drain around the edge of the basement all to be completed on or before July 15, 2011.
The mold treatment and application of dry lock went well. Now every time the new sump pump kicks on water shoots out of the bathroom sink upstairs. When the workers started to install the new drain in the basement floor they could not saw through the concrete. They even tried to use a jack hammer in one corner. Now there is worse leakage where they were able to score the floor and the corner where they jack hammered has a constant puddle.
He informed us that they could not install the drain in the basement and could not fix the issue with the sump pump. The job was "completed" on the 19th. I asked for Mr. Fowler to pay to have a plumber install a working drain and fix the sump pump. He told me he could not but he could refund me $300.00 of what I had already paid.
The only reason that we were going to have the drain installed was because he told us the mold would just keep on comping back, and that he would be able to do the total job. The job is not completed, there is debris in the front yard, and the cleanup in the basement was incomplete.
I feel that because we are elderly we have been taken advantage of and we do not want others to go through the same experience. I feel frustrated with myself for not thoroughly researching this company before the work was started.
He did just recently come by my home and refunded $1000 of the $2500 that I paid him initially. I appreciate the attempt on his part to make a settlement for the work."
Regulations require certified professionals for removals and disposal in compliance with local and federal guidelines, ensuring safety and legality.
Whether or not to buy a home containing asbestos is ultimately a decision for the homebuyer, and there are several things to consider. When in good condition and contained, asbestos is unlikely to present a health risk—it’s when those tiny fibers are loose and airborne that they become a problem. Consider any renovations you plan on doing to the home that could disturb existing asbestos and the cost of removal. If an inspection finds asbestos in a home on the market, you could negotiate with the seller for a lower price, though this isn’t a sure thing.
Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.
If you suspect exposure to asbestos, prioritize seeking medical advice by informing your healthcare provider about the potential exposure with clear details about the circumstances that led to the exposure. Regular health check-ups and screenings if you work in high-risk industries or live in a home with asbestos are essential for early detection of any asbestos-related conditions. You should also consider consulting occupational health experts or legal professionals for guidance on potential next steps and preventive measures.
When asbestos damages the lungs it causes a condition called “asbestosis” which, unfortunately, can’t be cured once it’s damaged the lungs. This condition is chronic and any treatment is undertaken to improve quality of life. This usually involves quitting smoking, being prescribed oxygen, and undergoing lung rehab. Severe cases usually require a lung transplant.
