"I was actually recommended by them from a friend. My roof needed to be upgraded so i can be ready for "El Niño" and I called them for a quote. As soon as I got the quote I decided to give them a shot and they finished my roof before I can blink my eyes. The workers were very respectful and would inform me about every step. So I definitely got a good experience with them. No issues at all! Thanks for hard work!

"Had some water damage from the recent rains.  The crew showed up on time and performed the work of opening the walls to inspect for further water-damage/dry rot and had the wood around the front window replaced which was rotted.  The work was done professionally, and looks quite nice, but the crew was very slow, taking three days to do two minor jobs, and the price was quite high for the work done."

"Let me start by saying I am very picky on who works on my house. With that said my process is the following: I go on ALL review websites, call and set appointments on here for 3 business. From there I pick on professionalism. and of course price. I met with Attic guys, Attic Masters and finally Attic Five Stars. All came with their A game on the initial quote what set them all apart was Virginia and Marlon. Virginia is knowledgeable and walked me through the process of what company was all about. From there Marlon showed up on time for the appointment and walked me through the whole job and provided a great price, I was pleased but not yet closed from there Virginia called and stated she wanted my business and reassured me that i would be happy and the fact that no other company followed up was the closing factor for me. Virginia and Marlon great job on my attic and will be call you for insulation for the garage."

"The project manager was a good salesman with the promise of a discounted price because another job had been canceled and they could start in two days, and I could take advantage of the insurance and bond already having been paid. He inferred he didn't want to lose it. Although I knew that probably wasn't true, as all big companies have insurance and workman's comp in place, I wanted my deck done quickly and my next estimator could not come out for two weeks. Although the salesman claimed I was getting a good deal, the contract seemed a bit high, and sales tax added. I have never had sales tax added separately on this type of work. They did not demolish all the brick work as in the contract. They tried to use untreated wood under the deck which I was specific that was why the old deck needed to be replaced. Luckily, we caught that. The job was done quickly and clean up was nominal; however, I have found the concrete base of the demolished brick work was just covered with dirt and it still remains."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Apple Valley, CA

Asbestos appears as long, thin, or curled mineral fibers that are not visible to the naked eye under normal conditions. Homes constructed before 1989 are more likely to contain this material, so a professional inspection is essential. Because asbestos identification requires specialized techniques, having a certified inspector assess your property is the safest way to confirm its presence and protect your family’s health.

Free asbestos testing services do not exist. You can purchase testing kits online for $30 per unit, and these kits include lab fees, return shipping, consultation, sampling media, and the final results. The results from a kit are less detailed and accurate than those provided by a certified asbestos testing professional. Since collecting a sample exposes you to harmful fibers, hiring a professional is essential to ensure safety and accurate testing.

Receiving asbestos test results takes one to seven days, but different labs offer varying turnaround times. When expedited processing is arranged, the laboratory completes analysis within 24 hours; standard processing requires up to two weeks. Hiring a certified professional ensures that all samples are collected correctly and results are provided without delay, safeguarding your home throughout the process.

Home insurance doesn't often cover asbestos testing and removal. Many policies have a clause called a "pollution exclusion," which means they do not cover indoor pollutants like asbestos. However, your insurance company might cover something like asbestos siding removal costs if it is released due to things beyond your control, such as storm damage.

If a DIY project or accident in your home releases harmful fibers, you must pay for the test and removal.

Yes, you can legally inspect and remove asbestos in your house as long as it's a single-family home and not a multi-family unit. However, the EPA strongly recommends hiring an asbestos abatement pro since testing can be dangerous.

Pros have all the right tools and safety equipment, and you risk breathing in the fibers by taking samples yourself. They also know how to collect samples and safely dispose of materials properly.

Asbestos encapsulation is a process that seals asbestos-containing materials with a protective barrier to prevent the release of harmful fibers. It serves as an alternative to complete removal when full abatement is not necessary. Encapsulation costs between $2 and $6 per square foot, offering a cost-effective option that contains asbestos safely when applied by a certified professional.
