Needed TSI pipe wrap mitigated across 4 rooms. They got in, got it done, and kept the area clean and dry despite an unexpected late season snow storm. They know what they’re doing, and from what I saw of the process, are taking their time to get it done safely and well. We’ll be using this outfit again soon for another job on the property.

I have known Joel now going on 12 years. He is a top notch professional in his field and over all a great guy. Having been in his field many years ago myself, I know his field and challenges extensively. He goes over the top to complete your projects and is completely knowledgeable of getting the job done right and safely. I do home remodeling projects in older homes that potentially contain asbestos. Joel is my first call before tackling any project that may contain ugly asbestos. Do yourself a favor, and call Joel immediately for any asbestos project your about to tackle!! You will not be disappointed!

In my profession I have worked with several asbestos abatement companies and Asbestos Abatement, Inc. is top notch. The owners are genuinely kind and caring, and it shows in their work and their company. Asbestos is ugly, but working with them is not. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services, they are the best in town.
