Asbestos Abatement came to my home and contained asbestos that we had in our boiler room. From the start I requested a proposal with Kim and she was very professional and helpful. The Owner Richard came out to do the proposal and was very knowledgeable about the abatement process and other Energy saving resources. This was when I knew I was in very good hands. The guys showed up the very next day and went to work on containment. I am very proud to have worked with Asbestos Abatement Associates from start to finish. I highly recommend.

Richard came to my house, looked over the walls and attic, fully explained what he was doing and why, and took a sample. Two days later Nancy called, took payment information, and quickly emailed my negative result. These people are wonderful to work with, and are highly recommended.

We recently had a radon mitigation system installed. When they ran the pipe for the radon fan out the side of the house they uncovered a pipe with asbestos that had previously been unreachable. I called AAA concerned and they were able to send someone to look at it the same day and completed the work that same week (I realize that might not always be possible). A small, quick job for $250, so I was very grateful they were able to squeeze us in and willing to take on the project. The first company I called was booked until April. I will call AAA first from here on on. They did great work and were all friendly and helpful.

We were very disheartened after discovering that our pipes had an asbestos insulation wrapping over them. My wife and I ended up talking to Richard who was very responsive and knowledgeable, answering all our crazy questions and calming the storm. He gave us all our options and explained everything in detail. I really appreciated the time he took with us on a Friday afternoon and having patience with us. He did not ask us anything for his time and effort. We are still in the midst of a decision on the course of action, so I cannot comment on the quality of work, but the first experience with the company was a pleasant one.

We received a quote from Richard and his associates to abate our popcorn ceiling and closets of our new home. His associates DESTROYED our ceilings. They gouged the ceiling and oversoaked the drywall, so the drywall tape was dented and hanging off. We had to replace the drywall in several sections of the ceiling and closets because it was unsalvageable. We received 6 quotes from drywall and painting companies and they each said in all their years of painting and drywalling they have NEVER seen an abatement job as poorly done as the one Richard's crew did. Thankfully, we were able to hire a drywall company to fix the ceilings and closets. Save yourself the time, stress, and pain and use a different abatement company!

We are truly sorry we could not make you happy. We do understand that no matter what we do to try to make a customer happy we can't always succeed. We refunded you a great amount which was the difference of out cost and what you wanted for repairs that you requested without hesitation. We explained wet removal of ceiling texture could cause potential damage to sheetrock as well. We are sorry you are not one of our many many happy customers. We will take your concerns whole heartedly in the future with upcoming clients.

I called Asbestos Abatement Associates in a slight panic on a Friday because we were having carpet installed into our basement and the work was halted because there was what was believed asbestos in the tiles under the tack strips and the workers would not move forward until it was tested and cleaned up. Richard called back immediately and set an appointment for the following Monday morning. Within 24 hours we had the results and were able to schedule the cleanup for the following day. The office worker Nancy was extremely helpful in clarifying what we would need to provide our carpet installers as well as what the cost and scope of work for the cleanup would be. The cleanup crew were punctual, courteous and very professional. While I hope I never have to...I would hire them again in a heartbeat! Wonderful service top to bottom.

Mr. Pruit was an amazing font of information about when asbestos is and is not a threat, and on the steps for code compliant removal. He inspected our wrapped heating pipes and said that no work was needed because the fraying we saw in a few places was only the wool pack - the asbestos core was much deeper. He did give us a quote for sealing all the pipe wrapping, but he did not feel it was necessary. He pointed out that in older homes like ours (almost 100 years old), the basement plaster sometimes contained asbestos - so we agreed to have samples taken (3 from various parts of basement) for analysis. Happily, results were negative - no asbestos. We really appreciated the level of knowledge and honesty of Mr. Pruit.

We were really happy with the work! Richard came out for an estimate, took samples our our popcorn ceilings, and gave me a ton of information and recommended sealing our pipe insulation with a mastic-type thing to keep it from degrading more. The man who came to do the work (Tony?) did a great job, was super nice, and worked a long day in our unpleasantly-lit basement to get it done! Also the woman who answers the phone is so nice and keeps you up to date on everything. Super happy with the work. Our popcorn ceilings are happily asbestos-free so hopefully we will not need to do any more remediation work, but if we do we would call them back in a heartbeat.

Horrific!! How did this company ever get a good rating on this website? How much did they pay for the top listing?! Quick to quote and show up but didn't remove all the tape pieces the first time around. Called them back and they returned. I felt like they did a quick job without the proper protective measures. Once I started looking closely I was very alarmed!! There was fiber and tape residue all over my furnace and surrounding floor!! They didn't totally remove the tape residue or encapsulate it either. I contacted the Dept of Health and found out that they were supposed to do all of this. Then I found a big piece of tape INSIDE my furnace!!! ***!! What has my little 11 month old daughter been exposed to?!?! Hired another contractor to perform environmental testing and totally clean everything. Talking with the Dept of Health and lawyer about possible legal action. This company is a complete nightmare and I still cannot imagine how they have a good rating on this site.

1: We strive to make our clients happy 2: We do not pay client, strangers or Angie's List for our high rating. We work hard to earn this one client at a time. We realize that not every client will be happy and some will never be happy no matter how much you do for them. That is just how business goes once in a while 3: This project was a non-regulated job and this was just a service call 4: On 6/8/2017 we arrived and did the scope of work that was bid on to do 5: The owner called 6/9/2017 and wanted us to go back to collect a small 2"x 4" piece of asbestos containing tape that was missed. We offered to go back and comply with his request. This took our employee two trips as the owner was not there the first time 6/12/2017 and we went again on 6/13/2017. 6: After the additional work was completed he wanted us to come back again. 7: He set up an appointment directly with the owner of this company, via text messaging, to meet after 3:00 pm and when the appointment day and time arrived the home owner once again was not available but didn't let the company know 8: The home owner sent pictures of alleged fibers and residue we left behind. The fibers are from the towels required to use when wiping down surfaces from the extra cleaning he asked us to do for him. Some of these fibers in his pictures that were sent to us were from some areas in his home we never were even in so we have no idea how to respond to that 9: Home owner added a picture on this site showing a piece of something inside the furnace and is claiming it to be Asbestos. We cannot respond to this as we have never opened his furnace and it is a closed unit. There is no reason for us to go out of our way to suddenly open his furnace to just put alleged asbestos in it

I had/have to do a little clean up of the paint off a few areas. I learned how easily I can do my other ceilings in which I'd likely get it on things too. The office tried to help get me in at my best convenience which was helpful.. Owner helpful at first meeting. Seemed quite busy after that for further questions. I just need to do a couple small touch ups on it. I think I might use regular painters for next one since its non friable. The price for this job seemed similar to a removal job. But I was in a hurry. The guys seemed nice enough.

We were in the middle of having new flooring laid in our basement when tiles containing asbestos were discovered under the old carpet. All work had to stop until the tile was removed. AAA was very prompt and flexible with their scheduling. Even though more tiles needed removed than the original estimate, they didn't charge any more and actually finished early.

The men did a great job of containing the area, removing the asbestos tiles and cleaning up afterwards. When I initially called the company, Nancy provided an estimate (with discount) and promptly scheduled the work to be done. All in all, this company made a bad situation better so we could eventually get our carpeting laid.

We are doing a remodel and had asbestos in the basement that needed mitigation/removal. We had used Asbestos Abatement Associates before to have our old boiler removed some years back. So when we mentioned them to our contractor they said that's who they use a lot. Needless to say they were just as responsive as before. Richard came out to look at the house the same day, Nancy is very organized and on top of things. The work was quickly scheduled and completed, professional crew. If you are in a situation where you need asbestos taken care of, this is who I would use. They know their stuff.

The day was very chaotic, the crew doing the work spoke little or no English and the supervisor was yelling at them much of the day (in English) to hurry things along. In the process of removing ducts, parts of our original 1913 Auer heat registers in two rooms were damaged and lost. Multiple attempts to contact them regarding replacing and fixing these registers resulted in one visit from the company rep. who came in, took pictures of the registers that need attention.... no further follow up at all. We will be happy to adjust this review once our registers are repaired to our satisfaction.
