"Rodney was incredible personable, knowledgeable and helpful. I'd highly recommend this company to anyone seeking a lead inspection."

"During the initial contact, I was impressed with the explanation of the testing process provided by the individual who answered my call. I was equally impressed by Mr. Robinson's step-by-step explanation while he set up the equipment to perform the test. He explained his licensing and the accuracy of the test that he was conducting. He was professional, efficient and possesses a great deal of expertise in his chosen field. He informed me when to expect the results of the testing and followed up with a phone call explaining the report in minute detail. Looking forward to working with Mr. Robinson for the next step in this process. Thanks again. -- Roger K"

"Bill and his helper Christian arrived to the house after our puppy made a mess on our carpet, they were able to remove the pet stains, and high traffic areas that other companies couldn’t remove. We are very pleased."

"We were very impressed by 5th Gen -- both management and the men who came on-site to do work. We just purchased a new home and had a lengthy list of jobs to do -- most relatively small, but a bunch of them! Paul (project manager/superintendent) worked with us to help us understand what each project would entail. As first time home-owners, this is all a bit new, and I appreciated that he took the time to explain things to us in a lot of detail. He also helped triage the projects so the more disruptive, interior work was all finished prior to our move-in. The one bigger project we did was screening in our back porch. It looks awesome, and Paul was great in helping advise with key decisions. We love it and spend a ton of time there. I also generally appreciate how 5th Gen goes above and beyond. When they noticed the back porch steps were super slippery in the rain, they powerwashed them so remove debris -- problem solved. Also, we have a puppy, and the on-site workers were really great at making sure to keep the babygates and doors closed so she would stay in the kitchen as they moved about the house. Overall, highly recommend 5th Gen!"

"I found the company on Angie’s List and it seemed like a good company. He was good. He was very fair, honest, and told me I did not have a problem; he did not take advantage of my worries. He seemed very professional and was very informative in telling me what I should do and look for in the future if I ever had any concerns. It was safe to stay at home when he did it; he was looking in a socket kind of thing where the air conditioning duct goes through. He did that and also tested the air. It was fine; it was not invasive at all. I thought he did a thorough check and I also thought the price was very reasonable. He said exactly when he said he would come and it was not a long delay from between the phone call and the appointments."

"I knew there was mold in the corner of the basement, but when a heat pump cleaning showed that it was spreading throughout the house,  I decided to do something about it right away.  Jumping to the end of the story--the black mold has been removed and the areas seems ok.  Mr. Johnson of Environmental Trust Solutions recommended having the air quality tested and I plan to do that.
However my experience with Environmental Trust Solutions was far from satisfactory.  My first mistake was failing to read carefully the reviews on Angie's List.  I just called and asked to have the mold problem evaluated.  My next mistake was accepting Mr. Johnson's response that he would come the very next day and bring a crew with him..
He came as promised.  He said they could take care of the mold problem and described what would be done.  Another mistake on my part was not insisting on a written estimate or agreement.  He did not offer anything written.  He gave me a price which I suspected was too high, but I must have stopped thinking by that time and accepted it.
So they went to work and as far as I can tell did an acceptable job.  They used a machine with a plastic tube to vent the moldy air.  They had to replace one stud and a section of the wall board.  They used a water proofing material on the affected area and on an adjacent section of the wall for good measure.  They cleaned up very well.
Mr. Johnson emailed me a certificate of completion.  It says his work is guaranteed, provided there is no leakage.  He did not say anything about the condition of the soil outside this part of the basement wall that could cause leakage.  But I plan to have that checked also.  

This company did the job I paid them for in spite of my doubts. I followed the recommendation to have another company test for mold several days later. The other company confirmed that everything is fine and my basement is free of mold.

"We received an asbestos inspection/test for our old plaster walls and ceiling areas. The turn around times were fantastic - inspector was in our area and able to fit us in the same day I called. Sample results and accompanying lab report were emailed within 36 hours. All samples were analyzed by a local lab accredited under the NIST NVLAP Asbestos Fiber Analysis Lab Accreditation Program, so I felt comfortable trusting the results. The inspector seemed very knowledgeable and helped walk us through any areas that could be of concern. Thankfully all samples were negative, but the modest inspection and sampling fees were well worth the piece of mind during our remodel. In short, I highly recommend this company for asbestos testing/inspections."
