It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. I was happy with them. They did a good job and explained everything. He was very quick to respond. He was very professional. I didn't use him for everything because I used another guy. We were borderline so we went ahead with the abatement. I didn't spend any additional.

I completely agree, Angie has a responsibility to notify me when its members request service. I can't help anyone if they don't email me the contact information, just a name and phone number would be great, however they need to control this info, I guess this will continue until they change their policy, I, too, was told to change my browser to chrome, when I couldn't log in to Angie control center, ok, I'm working on that!

Good. Obviously dealing with radon is one of those things you don't want to do, but have to. We ended up having to get remediation done. This company does testing but doesn't do the installation of the fix. That makes sense to me because it seems possible that a company that wants more money could make false results and do un-needed work. I like having the test and the fix be independent of each other.
Description of Work: Placed the two short term radon tests for us, returned for the tests, sent the tests away and gave us the results. Also gave us a long term test to do on our own that could be done after remediation to ensure that the fix was working.

Their service was good. They came out to provide the services, and they came out pretty quick to provide the services and there were no additional charges. I really did not check others for prices, so I would assume that the price was good, I mean I would give them an 'A'.

They said they were coming Monday and didn’t show up. Then they said they were coming Thursday and now I got a message that says they’re coming today and I’m not going to be home. He’s giving me attitude like he’s doing me a favor. He also said he doesn’t want to come to my area until he has more work in my area. I even told him that today is the only day I'm not available.

We were really happy with the service. He filled out a report that was clear and concise. They made a second trip to have a second room tested at our request. He noted that a radon reduction fan was installed mid-way down the pipe of the recepticle and it should be higher. He also gave us two alternatives on removing radon from the house - he is very knowledgeable. I would recommend him.

The gentlemen said I did not need a radon service. My reading was satisfactory.
Description of Work: The company called me back about my radon readings and said it was OK. I wanted to test again and he gave me a web site that gave a radon test if you left the devices in your house for up to a year. I got one for upstairs and one for downstairs. The gentlemen was very helpful.
