"Roofing USA were very professional throughout. They were punctual, although the work got done a few weeks later than planned but such delays happen in this industry. They seem to have done a good job with the Gaco coating, although I did have to ask them to come back after they were done to redo a few patches that didn't get a thick enough layer. They were happy to do that. They only had to resurface part of my roof - the rest is a walkable roof deck - and they did leave many spots of Gaco on the roof deck which I had to ask them to come back and remove. I though the price was expensive but it was easily going to work out cheaper than the other two companies I contacted. They also had the least disruptive plan for working around my AC/heating unit. I got a higher bid from A+ Sustainable Coatings, and Hollywood Roofing told me I would have to hire a crane to lift that unit off the roof while they worked, which they said would be about $2500. I never did get a complete bid from them but with that extra cost I assumed it wouldn't be competitive, and I didn't think the crane was necessary. With Roofing USA, the price worked out at about $7 per square foot."

"I can only comment on our initial meeting. Tysan showed up on time and was courteous, respectful, and attentive. From our previous phone call, the objective was to evaluate the entrance gate and driveway. Like many homeowners, I think I walked the property and showed Mr. Westplans for mechanical rrooms bathroom additions , a huge roofing project, new proposed plumbing, 2 new fireplaces, and a 100 foot long shed on the other part of the property. So, while Tysan and South Mountain Industrial Services showed up to estimate a "whole bunch of apples," I rambled on for several hours about "a whole bunch of oranges." Tysan remained very patient and attentive and after the initial consultation, sent me a detailed proposal to start with a days work, maybe two of clearing huge boulders and the removal of dozens of trees and stumps. Personally, I have used a Bobcat and a backhoe, however, the work done recently on my property would have taken at least a week. Mr. West can thread the eye of a needle with this heavy equipment that is needed for my big project. Definitely, I want Mr. West involved with the future project regardless of the capacity. Tysan West is a General Contractor, and I look forward to the tentative GO that we agreed upon verbally to begin the permit, pad and metal bldg. at the end of May, beginning of June. Tysans punctuality, courteousness, and detailed estimates on Proposal is Professional at least, unlike most of the prima-donna Santa Fe contractors I have encountered the last 15 years, which is at best. By the way...that whole morning spent consulting and reviewing the work and somewhat layout, was with no pressure and with no charge."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

While there are some sealants designed to be spray-painted over asbestos to encapsulate it, you still want to make sure it’s a specifically designed product for this purpose—not just run-of-the-mill spray paint. Furthermore, be sure you aren’t inadvertently spraying the asbestos fibers around when you take on this project, and as always, be sure to wear the proper protective gear, including a P-100-rated respirator and a disposable body suit, so as not to inadvertently breathe in or spread asbestos fibers.

Performing abatement for asbestos means the contractor removes or encapsulates the asbestos to protect your family’s health. The term abatement refers to the steps required to keep asbestos fibers from moving into the air. Understanding what asbestos abatement is can help you discuss the case with your contractors by understanding the jargon they use. 

No, but it’s common that they do. Gravity furnaces weren’t terribly efficient so wrapping either the ductwork in asbestos, the furnace itself, or both, was something done regularly. This allowed the system to retain more heat. At the time, this greatly enhanced the efficiency of the furnaces but it wasn’t until later that we became aware of just how carcinogenic and dangerous asbestos could be.

Asbestos encapsulation is an alternative to asbestos abatement or removal. Suppose you have hired an asbestos testing service and they recommend encapsulation. In that case, they will cover the asbestos with a protective barrier or put it in a sealed enclosure so the fibers cannot escape. Encapsulation usually costs between $2 and $6 per square foot.

Currently, there is no federal licensing mandate for asbestos removal contractors. However, certain cities and states require certification and specialized training. For example, in New York, those handling asbestos must receive an Asbestos Handler Certification. The mandates dictating the necessary training or certifications vary based on state and local laws.
