"I called them in the am, got a fast return call and a proposal the same day. The crew came out for asbestos pipe encapsulation two days later and stayed late to finish the job all in one day. Left the basement cleaner than they found it. Highly recommend!"

"These guys have completed a couple jobs for me at my house. They finished a deck project that I've been neglecting for 3 years and also removed and replaced a lot of our rotten soffits. They were professional, quick, and stayed in communication with me throughout the work. I had several handyman and professional deck companies come out to give me a quote, and Brothers Carpentry is the only company that actually took measurements and included the items we discussed in the quote. I'm an engineer by trade, and felt very comfortable with their processes and quality of work. I can't say that about a lot of the contractors that have worked at my home. They also fixed a few things that were out of scope without me asking. Those were a pleasant surprise. I plan on using these guys for any home improvement projects that come up."

"Kelvin did a huge amount of work for me over 5 days. The job grew significantly and he got it done and recommended more items that were useful to have done. I’m very satisfied with his work and recommend him highly. Items of work 1: initially, I wanted fascia boards replaced with weatherproof wood. KK do replaced the wood with a composite that won’t rot. Install new gutters 2. Fascia on the side of the house were sun damaged and failing. He replaced them all, also the dormer. Painted this side of house. 3. Wood shed initially open to the air. Kelvin removed my boards and put siding up on both sides of the near corner, painted it to match existing. 4. Gate broke, he buried new posts and fixed it."

Asbestos Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Durham contractors offer eco-friendly asbestos removal by using energy-efficient HEPA filtration systems and minimizing waste through careful material consolidation. Many specialists use low-VOC encapsulants and ensure all asbestos waste is transported to certified disposal sites. Some also implement reusable containment barriers, reducing single-use plastics and supporting sustainable practices throughout the asbestos abatement process.

Helpful?

Durham’s humid summers and frequent storms can make asbestos materials more brittle, increasing the risk of fiber release during removal. Professionals often schedule projects in spring or fall for milder conditions, reducing safety risks. Heavy rain may delay outdoor asbestos abatement, while winter’s freeze-thaw cycles can worsen damage in attics and basements, sometimes requiring urgent attention before the next season.

Helpful?

In Durham, homeowners often prioritize asbestos abatement during kitchen and bathroom remodels, especially in historic neighborhoods. Many choose selective removal paired with encapsulation to preserve original features while ensuring safety. Pre-renovation asbestos testing is now a routine step, and there’s growing interest in using low-dust containment systems to protect indoor air quality, particularly in homes with children or allergy concerns.

Helpful?

In Durham, homes built from the 1920s to the 1980s often have asbestos in vinyl floor tiles, pipe insulation, HVAC ductwork, and exterior siding. Popcorn ceilings and roofing shingles are also common sources. Basements, crawl spaces, and detached garages may harbor asbestos due to moisture exposure, making regular asbestos testing and inspection important for these areas over time.

Helpful?

In NC, avoid touching or moving any material you suspect contains asbestos. If you spot minor damage, close off the area with plastic sheeting and tape, and turn off fans or HVAC to prevent fiber spread. Keep everyone, including pets, away and document the issue with photos. If material is disturbed, lightly mist it with water, then leave and contact an asbestos abatement professional immediately.
