For the removal of drywall and plaster that covered brick we wanted to expose, it went much the same way. I came over in the middle of this part of the job, and the team were pounding on the wall to remove all the plaster?it was messy work as you can imagine. By the end of the day, it was again totally cleaned up. David and his team took extra care to make the wall look great, including wire brushing it with bleach. It's the highlight of our downstairs now! Throughout the job, he showed a lot of attention to detail, making sound decisions for things I hadn't considered, like where a light-switch should go or how to fill in the missing crown molding. They did a great job and would definitely use them again for a big project!

MTB determined that there was indeed a termite problem and set to work to address it. The drilled three small holes in strategic places in that current work area, applied the erradication formula (non-toxic and odorless). After 30 minutes of application, the workers corked the sprayed area and they were done. Considering the seasonal nature of insect pests, we agreed to do a long-term contract with them which was a cost separate from the original Angie's deal. They came to our home in the middle of the next month for a continued treatment to fend off any possible contamination consequences of our household furniture, etc. being placed in a storage facility for a month or so. Once again the worker came in very early as requested with the non-toxic, ordorless formula and applied it upstairs and down. He completed the task in 30 minutes, no muss no fuss. I recommended MTB to our neighbor who was concerned about protecting their home from termites as well, and he appreciated the reliable reference.

We used Geller Environmental Labs for a residential asbestos inspection and associated sampling in D.C. in 2019. They were very prompt, professional, and very knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend them.

The team arrived on time and ready to work on this multi-day project. Removing the gas fireplace required re-routing the gas line, which they did without any problems. After the first day, they had finished the demo of the fireplace and the wall it was in, and the left the place spotless....

"Matthew (Matt) Hull, Seven Six Two Removal, and Brim Contracting LLC deserve ZERO stars. I rue the day I contracted with Matt Hull for my whole house renovation project, and only hope my warning can save others from a similar experience. Unless you enjoy paying twice for shoddy work, chasing down contractors, receiving false promises about timelines, being told repeatedly that your project isn’t making the contractor any money, having your project abandoned, and flirting with financial ruin, steer clear of Matt Hull and Seven Six Two Removal. Matt’s actions caused me significant financial losses— from the additional months of carrying costs, the extra payments in the tens of thousands to subsequent contractors to repair all his mistakes and finish the project, and from the lower sale price and incentives I had to offer to finally close a sales contract, a full 15 months after engaging with Matt Hull and Seven Six Two Removal. I don’t know if Matt is malicious or incompetent, but the results speak for themselves. Here’s just a sample of what I endured: -Mounds of trash and dangerous debris left everywhere. -Not a single room in the home was finished after six months—just a patchwork of poorly done and half-done jobs. -Only 50% of the interior was painted; the exterior was left half-painted with random substantial holes left open in the exterior brickwork of the home, resulting in dead birds and bird feces inside the house -Matt drywalled over the only kitchen HVAC vent (located in brand new ductwork in the ceiling bulkhead) and then installed a wall cabinet directly underneath the drywalled-over vent location. This was only discovered when investigating why the newly installed HVAC system wasn’t properly cooling the main floor. Correcting this issue cost additional time and money and risked significant damage to the new HVAC system. -Upstairs bathroom tile work was so bad that it looked like a middle school project—uneven, crooked, and sloped. It had to be gutted and reinstalled. -A toilet was installed incorrectly, causing plumbing headaches and extra bills. -Shower head in newly constructed basement bathroom installed off-center and, rather than correcting this obvious error, Matt tiled around it- making any future fix a major, expensive undertaking. -Vanity lights in the new bathroom installed off center on a tiled wall, requiring re installation and retiling of the area -Kitchen canned lights installed unevenly spaced, disregarding architectural drawings, and the kitchen feature light was not installed at all. Had to hire a professional to relocate the lights, patch and repaint multiple holes in the ceiling, and run new electrical wiring to properly power the fixtures that should have been installed in the first place. Kitchen cabinets and peninsula installed to the floor and walls incorrectly—had to pay a specialist to fix and reinstall. -Doors and doorways were measured and framed incorrectly, leading to wasted money, multiple door orders, and more delays. -Windows trimmed so poorly that standard coverings wouldn’t fit—had to customize every window covering. -Smoke/CO detector placed right next to a vent, a code violation. -Fence gate latch installed upside down, plus random holes cut in the fence. After abandoning the project nearly 11 months ago, Matt promised to return to work on my property “as soon as our schedule frees up.” Despite that promise, I never heard from Matt Hull or Seven Six Two Removal again. I have contracts, receipts, photos, videos, security camera footage, audio recordings, emails, and witnesses to prove every word and have shared this information with my attorney in anticipation of litigation. I am also reporting Matt Hull, Seven Six Two Removal, and related entities to the appropriate authorities in DC and Maryland, so no one else has to endure the anguish and financial jeopardy I experienced. If you value your time, money, and sanity, avoid Matthew (Matt) Hull and Seven Six Two Removal at all costs."

FAQs for asbestos abatement projects in Lake Arbor, MD
The cost for asbestos removal is between $1,200 and $3,200 for average homeowners. This cost could be as little as $450 or as high as $6,000, depending on the affected area's size, the location of the asbestos, and the type of asbestos you're dealing with.
For example, removing asbestos from attic insulation averages $11to $25 per square foot. However, removing asbestos from an HVAC unit is more expensive, at around $35 to $55 per square foot.
No, you should not remove asbestos from your home yourself. It is not worth risking your health, or the health of your family.
There are strict laws regarding the demolition, encapsulation, and removal of asbestos. Not only could you face potential violations, but you could be putting yourself and others at risk. If you don't have the proper asbestos removal gear, you could inhale the asbestos fibers, which could lead to lung cancer or mesothelioma.
Since DIY asbestos removal isn’t the best option to save money, there are other steps that you can take to help cut costs when dealing with this project. After speaking with your asbestos removal expert, discuss if encapsulation is an option. If it is, you can save between 15% to 25% on overall project costs over demolition and disposal. In addition, when speaking with your professional, discuss if there are any tax credits available for your removal project. Finally, check with your homeowner’s insurance to see if any removal costs might be covered. However, be aware that this is usually only applicable if the asbestos is due to a covered incident, like a tree falling into your roof.
It can be scary to need asbestos removal from your home—you might be concerned about your family’s health, the overall condition of your house, and what repairs might need to be done. You can ask your asbestos consultant some questions to ensure your project is completed as safely as possible. Some questions to ask include:
Do you have the proper credentials for removing and disposing of asbestos?
How long will this project take to complete?
Have you worked on a project like this before?
Do you use new protective gear at each job site?
How do you prevent asbestos fibers from being released into the home?
How big is the crew you will send?
How do you clean up after a project?
The most common sign of asbestos is the age of your home. Asbestos was banned in drywall in 1977, though many products still contained asbestos until the 1980s. Indicators of possible asbestos in your home include:
Your home's age, if built before 1980
You have a home with vinyl flooring or millboard that was installed between 1952 and 1982
Your home has corrugated roofing
Your home has walls made from cement sheets
Your home has vermiculite insulation
