The real test is how long the new surface lasts. I had this tub resurfaced (by a different company) when I bought the house and had problems with it peeling. Juan was polite and respectful. He was diligent about covering everything in plastic and cleaned everything up when he was done.

The project was completed on time, on budget and looks great. Juan and Astrid were very professional and responsive. The thought was to chemical strip the old finish but while they were chemical stripping the north side, they started a test using good old mechanical sanders on the east wall....

Everything was quick, including getting detailed results. For those getting asbestos testing, keep in mind the tests require sampling, which leaves marks and holes. However, the tech did the best he could to minimize noticeable damage.

They come four times a year. They're congenial, always ask if they need certain little tests or what ever. They phone ahead of time to tell you the worker will be there at a certain day. I would tell others that I would recommend them. They have a guarantee on their work.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

There are products that still contain asbestos, but they were typically installed decades ago. Common places where you may still find asbestos-containing materials are in siding, wrapped around ductwork, in older appliances (i.e., stove and gravity furnaces), and in floors. Asbestos was primarily used as an insulator, so anywhere in an older home where you lose heat is where you will most likely find asbestos.

No, an N95 mask will not protect against asbestos and many other hazardous materials, such as carbon monoxide, gas, chemical vapors, and other gases. You will need a respirator specifically designed to protect against asbestos. However, if you suspect asbestos is present in your home, hire an asbestos abatement professional immediately and avoid the area until they arrive for the inspection.

Asbestos can be found in many building materials, especially if the materials were installed more than 20 years ago. Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) can include:

Acoustic ceiling tiles
Furnace insulation
Home appliances
Fire-retardant clothing
Cement pipe
Pipe insulation
Wall and ceiling insulation
Vehicle brake pads
Vinyl flooring
Sprayed acoustic ceilings
Stove insulation
Patching compounds
Textured paints
Roofing shingles
Siding

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

Yes. Gutting a house to the studs may actually be a good option if you believe a home contains toxic materials like asbestos, mold, or lead paint. However, this must be done under the supervision of licensed remediation experts.
