"We had our original, 31 year old cheap, fiberglass one piece shower replaced by Statewide. All the men that we worked with on this project were all very friendly, yet professional. The worker that installed our beautiful, light gray shower with modern brushed chrome hardware was excellent in his work. He laid down huge cloth walkways so he wouldn't track through the house. He was very careful and cleaned up everything each day. We are very pleased with the new shower and feel it is a real upgrade which will help when we sell the house. "

"Pepe and his crew did an awesome job replacing my sewer line in South Santa Fe! Their price was very competitive and their workmanship was top notch. They got the necessary permits and started work the same day. The team worked very hard cutting out an 80’ section of driveway, digging by hand to the old sewer line, replacing it with new cleanouts and back flow valve, backfilling and packing the dirt and pouring new concrete. What a huge effort and a fabulous job done by NE Plumbing & Heating! I highly recommend them! "

"We had a bathroom remodel.The experience was unpleasant .Sales person Nicolette provided a lot of inaccurate info.We found that the need to pay 80% of the remodel upfront concerning.We have 11 pets and concerned for their safety and stress. Nicolette said demo 1 day installation 1 day floors day 3.Also told crew of 4-5 and bathroom safe sealed useable nightly-not true.The project took 1 month! The bathroom floor was removed with nails sticking out, the walls were torn off left uncovered, large hole in floor left open, toilet sitting in bedroom 2 weeks.We put tarps on ground and garbage bags on walls for safety.Not informed of a 10-14 day delay for the shower walls to be cut. We asked about painting were told we dont paint.We had some mold from shower leak that ruined the door casing it was left off contract for repacement. Contract stated we provide flooring.No mention of baseboards or underlining for LVP.We had to provide the underlying and argue for baseboards.The door casing was cut off at the bottom, an old piece of baseboard was put in place, was told to paint over it looks terrible.Had tile removed and LVP layed caused large gaps under doors looks bad. In May we were contacted by David about a cancelatiion .We accepted the spot needed a Tuesday start all was set.Friday before received call from David saying needed Monday start. Didnt work for us. He got rude & upset didnt understand why we didn't want a lock box. We were not comfortable.On day 1 of construction only 2 people showed, one newbie. After day 9 experienced person pulled from job. Comunication overall was horrible. Scheduling tasks was very chaotic and last minute We felt our project was low priority. Nicolette said she would be supervising, and in contact with us through process. She never called or came by . Window stucco crew was messy and had to come back and redo the stucco because it was too thick and cracked.Some days we had 30 minute notice or night before call .We had to waste a lot of vacation days.We emailed David about this and got no response.We saw the process and theres no way it could have been done in three days as promised by Nicolette Onyx shower pan has 3 areas that are scratched by installation.After quartz shower wall installation we were left with black caukling all over ceiling.There is excess silcone on shower walls. Shower curtain rod was hung higher than standard without asking. After shower head was installed we had a leak on valve controller. During repair it was discovered it was silconed even with hole drilled for it. Later had to be redrilled and hard mounted to the wall. There are scratches on the new shower head. Excessive silicone on grab bar water valve and a large silicone finger print. The base of the shower pan was left dirty and could not remove the stains.. Received no cleaning/care instructions. Received no warranty information Emailed Nicolette and were sent a blurry screen shot of a google article on what to use to clean the walls and base.We used vinegar and dishsoap as suggested and it still did not remove the stains.The walls that were newly built were sprayed with texture.This created over spray onto walls that should have been covered in plastic and protected.One wall looks like it has two completely different textures on it now from over spray.Some of the rounded walls built for the closet keep dropping bits of texture even with primer and paint. We had to argue for a door on our closet apparently doors are not part of a closet.We were not given a heads up about the closet shelves being permanently affixed to the wall or we would have painted the closet before.We waited three weeks for someone to contact us about our final inspection. We then contacted David. He was rude told us common sense should have told you to paint first and over spray is within industry standards and our sales person should have informed us of that.He then agreed to come out but warned us you wont like hearing what i can and can not fix. During his visit we pointed out texture overspray, black silicone on ceiling, silicone on shower walls, and dirty base pan. David was gas lighting us by telling us we keep a very nice home and we cannot expect perfection in a remodel. He offered to send out someone to sand the texture and paint at a cost to us and he did have someone come out to clean the shower and base. He reititerated all the flaws we pointed out are all within industry standards. The base of the shower got cleaned but the walls still full of silcone. We asked about our warranty and he said Home Pros 2 year warranty is better than the manufacture warranty- Delta offers a lifetime warranty. The worker that came to clean the shower base told the office that quartz people need to come out and clean the shower walls, Its been a week and nothing.We haven't been able to use our shower yet due to these issues. Don't expect perfection with Home Pros Remodeling because they will only offer you industry standard."

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

That depends—if it is a small amount, it’s unlikely to do much damage. But if the one-time exposure to asbestos results in a high concentration of the mineral, it could cause serious long-term lung damage and possible cancer. Don’t think that personal protective equipment can completely keep you safe either as asbestos has a habit of sneaking in through small gaps in a mask. If you’re worried about your exposure, go to your doctor.

If you have an older electrical system with fraying wires and other signs of damage, removal  may be the best course of action. When asbestos begins to break down, it's more likely to become airborne, increasing the risk of health issues when it's inhaled.

However, if the system is in good condition and doesn't have visible signs of wear or damage, leaving it alone may be the safest course of action. An asbestos abatement and removal professional can help you determine the best way to proceed.

If you hire a dedicated asbestos inspector near you in addition to your local home inspector, it will cost between $200 and $800. If, however, your general home inspector happens to be certified as an asbestos inspector, they can charge you a smaller fee and tack on the cost to the home inspection. In general, home inspectors do not do physical testing, but will provide a visual assessment so you know what you are working with.

While asbestos can’t be directly absorbed through the skin—the fibers are too big—skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.

Since the EPA partially banned asbestos use in 1989, it is not commonly used in siding in the United States. Many other countries, such as Iceland, Canada, and Denmark, also have bans on asbestos. However, asbestos siding is still present in homes built before the late 1980s. Remember, the only surefire way to know if your home or siding contains asbestos is to have it lab-tested by a professional.
