Don did an awesome job. Our floors were super dark, he sanded them down to their nature color and refinished them. Don also patched an area by the island that was tiled and you can’t tell it was patched. He is hardworking, knowledgeable, honest and truthful. We would definitely hire him again.

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos.

Costs depend on the number of samples, property size, and lab processing fees.

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