Ray was great! He showed up to repair our chimney on Labor Day. The repair was not initially fixed, Ray worked on it and there was still a bit of a leak from the chimney. He came back out to water test it to see where the leak was coming from a few days later, and repaired it then. My review...

Laid tile beautifully; however, did not test grout first. It is a LOT lighter than other grout. When asked to remove & correct, he was going to charge me more for his mistake. Did not give me a written estimate. When asked for a breakdown of charges he told me, "I'd have to charge you tax"....

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Professional testing is advisable to ensure safety regulations are met, and accurate results are obtained using certified methods.

If you know your popcorn ceiling has asbestos, you should not attempt to clean it. It simply is not possible to learn how to clean asbestos safely without potentially releasing microscopic fibers into the air that could lead to severe illness in the future. Avoid disturbing or cleaning the ceiling until the asbestos removal company can get rid of the popcorn ceiling.

Typical methods for asbestos removal include encapsulation, enclosure, and complete removal.

Unfortunately, asbestos is not easily identified and can often be hidden in plain sight in your home. While it can look like fluffy fibers, tiny pieces can also appear in materials like plastic or cement, making it impossible to identify on your own properly.

Plus, since asbestos is so dangerous when disturbed, you should never root around to try and find it. This job is best for a professional who can test for the material properly.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions.
