"Work was well done. I had some asbestos tape that was contracted with another company. Teasdale required that to be taken care of before any work done. It was done very quickly. Two guys performed the work. There was gobs of dust removed. It took around three hours, mostly because I had never had the ducts cleaned before. They cleaned up and charged me for the cost of the coupon,bplus the extra air duct. I will use them again for regular maintenance."
