This company and its president go far beyond theand quot;bare miminumand quot; in meeting the terms of a contract. In order to accomplish the job in a timely manner, Gary started the work on a Sunday and did not let up until the finished product was sheer perfection. He clearly takes great pride in his work - as well he should. He responded within minutes and hours (at the most) to all telephonic and electronic inquiries. His work product resulted in happy tenants - and successor tenants willing to pay considerably more rent, now that the house is lead-free - AND looks 100% better because of all the enhancements. Worth every penny. Don't settle for less. You get what you pay for, and 1st Environmental does not disappoint!
Description of Work: Gary O'Neill, president of 1st Environmental, is a hands-on professional contractor and by far the best in the field of lead abatement (and I dealt with quite a few - some very disappointing ones, in spite of their ratings - in deciding to engage his services). The project in Cambridge was time sensitive, and he finished before the projected completion date - both interior and exterior of house passed inspection the first time and resulted in a letter of full compliance. Gary has an "aesthetic eye," paying close attention to detail, ensuring that the house sparkled inside and out; he even did minor carpentry repairs and paint touch-ups that were not mandated by the contract. A consummate professional - and a man of his word.

The contractor was good enough to give me an estimate on how much it would cost to abate the lead in an investment property. In the end, I didn't purchase the property. But he was prompt and professional. I'd use him again.
Description of Work: Provided an estimate on de-leading an investment property.

I can't say enough about Gary and the work he did. He was prompt, responsive, reasonable in price as well as in dealing with my tenants. He always met me or called me when he said he would. He provided an estimate and a reasonable payment schedule. He showed up to do the job when promised and got it done in less time than he estimated. He did a great job communicating with me and my tenants, and he worked long hours to get the job done ahead of schedule (including weekends and evenings). He has a work crew, but he is always around supervising during the job which was important to us. We were very happy with the quality of his work, and he even did extra things that he saw were needed at no extra cost. Gary spent a lot of time with me talking about options and trying to figure out the best possible way to get the work done at the lowest cost and with the least disruption for my tenants. Most importantly, Gary took great care with my house and the work he did. I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: I had the inside of one apartment and the entire outside of a two-family house de-leaded. We were dreading this due to the cost of the project and the tight time-line. Gary made the whole process so much easier than we anticipated.
