I needed a faucet replaced, a light installed, a heavy mirror hung and pull handles installed on new cabinets. Lynn was very professional and provided professional work with attention detail. I will definitely be calling them back as projects continue in my home.

The demo was OK, I felt the water test on the sample allowed to much water to wash over the gutter guards. The cost for the gutter guards is HIGH. I felt Tim Nagle with Mastershield Gutter Protection was pushy about signing a contract. I passed. <br />

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.

Asbestos subject matter experts in your state
EPA regional office
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Assistance Information Service Hotline via mail, email, or phone
EPA’s Asbestos Ombudsman via phone or fax
