Get matched with top toxic lead testers in Annandale, VA

"A crew showed up within the hour and immediately assessed and estimated, then went to work after I got the insurance OK. <br /> It took several hours to tear out what was necessary, not only due to the extent, but because they were thorough and ensured that what they removed, both anticipated and unanticipated, was indeed necessary. I appreciated that. After they set the machinery to dry the infrastructure, I didn't have to clean up after them. Only had to hose the sidewalk from all the wet flakes of drywall that was removed. The crew did not slack off, nor were they surly. At a time when I'm trying not to stress out badly, their professionalism was welcomed. <br /> A few days later when they removed the machinery at their estimated time, Jerry and Billie left only after they ensured the machines were no longer required. <br /> My insurance sent another firm to perform the restoration, but had they sent the Burke ServPro for that I wouldn't have worried at all. [The new restoration company appears fine so far, too, but as it is ongoing, we'll see.] <br /> Thanks, guys, for making a stressful event less stressful - that is almost as important as the quality work. <br />"

"<p>I think I found them on Angie's List. They have been fantastic during our home renovation process. I keep putting them on hold, but I have built a relationship with them and they have been so patient and good throughout the whole thing. They have come out multiple times to help me with our previous contractor and current contractor for the remodeling. They have been great. They came out, met with my new contractor and it cost me nothing. They have been in constant contact with me regarding the status. They prepared for the states when I asked them to be ready to do the asbestos abatement. That was a part of the first stage of my remodeling project. Their pricing has been very reasonable. They did an assessment not just of the cost for the work, which they revised based on what the insurance company had told them to change. They have engaged with the insurance company, they have engaged with my remodelers and have come out without even charging us. The work that we have paid them for was just one time testing. This was the second test versus the first test we had. They do asbestos testing and asbestos removal.    </p>"

"Excellent. All communications were good. Ms. Kleinhammer was very responsive. She took the time to clearly indicate the situation with respect to lead testing for my unit. She was early to our appointed time to inspect the unit. She was professional in her work and provided all the information that I needed to complete the registration of the unit with MDE. I will use this company again if I have a need for other environmental testing. <br />"

"Jack was terrific. He listened to our issues, asked appropriate questions, offered pricing options depending on need, and came out to the house the same day to conduct tests. Explained everything clearly and was incredibly professional. Highly recommend."

"Extremely thorough. Took lots of pictures. Explained everything about the process. Very highly recommend."

"We have been working with Pete to measure the lead levels in our house. The abatement process has been very complicated which is why we have asked him to come several times to inspect after our other contractors cleaned. He is easily available by phone, nice, and prompt. Both he and Sheila, in his office, are lovely. I like them both and would recommend them as honest people to work with. <br />"

"I found D and D Environmental Contractors (DDEC) on ServiceMagic since Angie's list is a little sparse in this area. I was contacted promptly and we scheduled an appointment for the estimate. On the day of the estimate, Santos and Juan arrived on time. Santos explained the process thoroughly and took measurements while Juan took before pictures. I liked that both Santos and Juan were completely engaged in the discussing all the details of the process. It was obvious that these guys had actually done the work before and were not merely salesmen. I received their estimate and licensing information later that day. I also received a follow-up call from Santos the next day to see if I received the estimate and if I had any more questions. Wow. Their prices for the tile removal was competive and the price for the mastic removal was half of what another company quoted me. I was able to schedule the removal within a couple of days with the balance to be paid on completion. <br /> <br /> On the day of the removal the three men arrived early and were ready to start work. Again, I was pleased to see that Juan (from the day of the estimate) was part of the removal team. The men were extremely professional and had great personalities. They appeared happy to be there and that this wasn't just another job of pulling up grungy carpet and old crusty tile. The team removed all of the carpet and padding and hauled it away. They set up all of their gear before the tile removal and had all of the windows, doors, vents, and fireplace protected with plastic sheeting. Once appropriately suited up, they removed the tile very efficiently. The remaining black mastic was sprayed with a sealant. After the abatement inspector okayed the asbestos levels present in the work area and outside the work area, they removed the plastic sheeting, packed up their gear, and took after pictures. They answered the remainder of my questions before they left. The next day, Juan sent me the report from the abatement inspector and the before/after pictures. <br /> <br /> These guys were really great! From the estimate to the post-removal follow-up they were top notch. They worked efficiently and safely for a reasonable price. I am very grateful that I chose DDEC over the and quot;bestand quot; two on Angie's List."

"everything went great.  Not pushy, did the job well.  no complaints.  I will likely hire them for other services in the future. <br />"

"I needed to have vermiculite attic insulation removed in a house I had just purchased. (Some homeowners are fine with leaving it be--since technically the asbestos will only become a problem if the vermiculite is disturbed--but I felt it was better in the long run not to have to worry about having potentially cancerous material in my house.) I did a lot of research on how to properly have asbestos insulation removed before choosing companies, which were all properly accredited and licensed in the state, to give estimates. ACM's estimate was the highest by far (though they were willing to negotiate down a little based on other estimates I received) but I felt the most comfortable with them. They were professional, responsive, and well-known locally. They came early in the morning and took 2 and a half days. The crew was great--they were prompt, clean, and took all necessary precautions and the team leader, Jesus, was terrific. It can be overwhelming to have this kind of work performed but I felt comfortable having ACM take care of it. <br />"

"It went very well. Contractor called and asked if he could come earlier than agreed upon time (which was fine). He was extremely polite and professional. He explained what he was doing, what his goal was, how long everything would take and what the next steps would be, based on test results."
