Evelio (owner) not only was very professional, timely, trustworthy but was also very knowledgeable about materials to use on the entire rebuild of the interior of house. I had major fire damage. Too many pictures were taken. And I attest to the work this company provides ???

The quality of work in removing existing cement and then replacing it at our inground pool was excellent! Brendan was very polite, hard working, efficient and did a great job. He came to our house when promised and the price was fair. We would highly recommend Brendan and Ramsey Construction.

Friendly, knowledgeable, professional. Was able to get someone out to fix the leaky pipe in a short order and was only charged about two thirds of Angi's estimate, which was also a big help. Really appreciated their help!

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Services test for allergens, mold, VOCs, and carbon monoxide levels to ensure a healthy indoor environment.

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.

If you own a stereo microscope, you should be able to see the fibers. The stereo microscope often can perform magnification up to 50x. But unless you have experience viewing asbestos fibers, you may not know exactly what you are seeing. Some fibers are curly, while others are long and straight. Blue, brown, white, and gray colored fibers are all possible.

You can tell if old flooring has asbestos if thick black flooring adhesive is underneath the tiles. However, homeowners should not cut into linoleum floors to look for this adhesive. Instead, hiring a specialist to test the floors is the only safe way to determine if old flooring has asbestos.

Asbestos testing is conducted by collecting samples from materials suspected to contain asbestos and analyzing them in laboratories for confirmed presence.
