Get matched with top mold and asbestos pros in Oberlin, OH

"We had Dutch's out twice, first for a big mold problem in our attic related to bad ventilation, and then later again when we discovered some mold above our basement windows. Rick and Mark were great to work with both times. You can tell they really care about the quality of work and their customers. I was very freaked out upon finding out that our attic was covered about 2/3 of the way with mold and Rick came out right away the next day to check it out and do a full inspection of the house. He clearly explained what was causing the mold issues and how to get rid of the mold and change our ventilation issues so it wouldn't happen again. After they were done remediating, which was done all in one day, the attic looked great. They also made sure to cover our carpets and cleaned up after themselves. The price was also lower than other places and very fair. Rick even came out again a few months later just to check and make sure everything still looked good after we fixed the ventilation and it did. We later discovered some surface mold that had developed above our old basement windows. Rick and Mark came out and took a look and also checked the attic again and said it still looked great! Mark came back out and sanitized the areas above the windows, and now you can't even tell there was any mold there. He was quick and efficient and so nice! He also carefully covered all our carpets where he would be walking. Thank you Rick and Mark for making dealing with mold an easy and efficient experience!"

"I had a very large residential asbestos abatement job and the Erie Environmental crew worked steadily to get it removed. All the guys were courteous and professional. My job did end up getting pushed back a couple of days due to a prior job taking longer than expected but this delay was communicated and extra crew added to largely adhere to their original schedule."

"Drew and his crew at AdvantaClean were amazing! I had to coordinate mold removal for my elderly mother living in another state. Drew took very good care of her and her basement! She enjoyed having them in her home, they were efficient, extremely clean, and took care of every detail for her. I highly recommend them!"

"Removed toxic asbestos from cement floor"

"They came out quickly, found the source of mold and I received the report in little over a weeks. Then I was referred to a company who instructed me with the supplies and instructions on how to eradicate the mold."

"Paul was amazing! He did an extremely thorough job- he didn't miss a single thing! He was very friendly to deal with and answered all of my questions. He really took the time to explain every step of the process and made me feel like my home inspection was the only thing that mattered. I highly recommend his services."

"These guys did an excellent job on our basement floor. Made sure it was all cleaned up before leaving. They work fast as well too. Def definitely recommend! Going to be a returning customer for sure for future projects."

"They really knew their stuff. I must have asked a million questions, all of which they had an answer for which was quite impressive. A specialist was sent to our house to view our problem and he did not try to scare us into paying for expensive tests or having their company do the clean-up for us. He told us our problem was small, that we did not need to have a test done because he was quite certain the asbestos material we had removed was not a big danger for fiber release, and that we could do the clean-up if we didn't want to spend the extra money."

"Adam, co-owner, arrived dressed in very nice dark slacks and a light blue button-down shirt. I should mention that Adam's arrival was a complete shock to me. I had mixed up the dates and assumed our appointment was the following week. Thankfully, Adam, arrived on the date we had agreed upon. And, though I didn't recall the time at the moment he drove up, I am sure he was punctual. I told Adam that since he was here, yes, let's take a look at the basement so he could give me a price to paint my basement floor. But, according to Adam, I had agreed to hire him on the spot when we talked. He also said he had purchased all the materials and was ready to work. Though I don't recall all the details of our conversation, I can say that Adam would be the first contractor/handyman who gave me a quote without seeing the job first. For example, other people I interviewed, wanted to see the condition the floor, measure it so they would know how much paint to buy, etc. I don't recall Adam giving me a price over the phone, but I decided to take his word for it. I felt bad that he could have scheduled another job in my time slot and since he also had already purchased the materials, I agreed to let him do the work. What I did recall about our conversation was that I explained to him that I wanted the floor painted because plumbers had to break the floor in two areas to get to the pipes underneath and that they re-cemented the floor, pretty clumsily. I wanted to even out these patches and have a clean, painted, nice looking floor. I also asked him to hang a mirror in my dining room. Adam assured me he could handle the job satisfactorily. Since, I hadn't expected him, I had to hurriedly clean off the basement floor. There were bags and bags of linen and dog blankets, etc. Adam did volunteer to move the remaining 4 or 5 boxes of pillows and blankets. Before we entered the basement, he had said that he typically starts a job by cleaning the floor with a shop vac. However, once he saw my basement floor, he said it was pretty clean and asked to use my push broom (it was nearby) to sweep the floor. We chatted a little and then, I remembered, I wanted the sink stand holding the utility sink cleaned of rust and painted black. He said he had some black flat paint and agreed to do it. I got busy doing yard work in the backyard, when I rounded the front, he was sitting in his truck. He exited the truck and I said, something to the effect that I guess he was waiting for the etching solution to dry. He said, it only takes about 10 minutes to dry. He also said the etching solution was environmentally safe, which I liked, and odor-free. Sometime later, I decided to take a look at his progress. He had already painted some of the floor. I realized immediately that he had not cleaned the rust off of the stand for the utility sink, nor painted it black. I asked him about this, thinking he just overlooked it. But, he said the stand was too brittle to be painted. I told him a couple of other people had looked at it and found the stand sound. He said he would check the stand again. Adam's fee is $155 per hour and $99 for every hour thereafter. He estimated that the job would take 2.5 hours. I was impressed that he was finished right about that time, maybe a few minutes more. However, he said he had another appointment and didn't have time to hang the mirror. He added that he thinks the sink stand could be cleaned of rust and painted, rather than be tossed out. We looked at the floor together, and I told him it looked good. It was still wet and shiny. He told me not to walk on it for 48 hours. Yesterday, I walked on it. I was surprised to hear a crunchy sound. The sound comes from stepping on the epoxy flakes Adam added to the floor, per my wishes. I hope the crunchy sound isn't permanent. As far as the floor's appearance, it's just okay. Maybe I was expecting too much. But, I thought the re-cemented areas would have been blended in so that I would have a nice, clean, smooth looking floor. The outlines of the re-cemented areas show through the paint as well as stained areas and areas that were covered in old paint. It just looks like paint was rolled over the existing floor with little or no prep work done. Based on my information, the cement and other areas could have been sanded by hand, or with a hand-held tool called a grinder, to smooth out the rough edges. But, maybe the Clean n Etch could have done the same thing. Adam said it drys in 10 minutes. I happened to come across a bottle of Clean n Etch at Home Depot yesterday and it advises no foot traffic for 2 hours after application and no top coat for 24 hours. I am not accusing Adam of not applying any Clean n Etch, but I wonder how useful it was if the paint was applied on top of it before the solution actually cured. I can only hope that the paint job will last for years, as Adam said it would. Finally, the idea of the epoxy flakes is that they are spread haphazardly, and they were., but maybe too much so. One area has a huge cluster of flakes and nearby areas are sparse, it looks as if a bag of flakes was dumped in one area and remaining flakes spread sparsely."

"Great customer service and timely response!"
