Get matched with top toxic lead testers in Cartersville, GA

"Plain and simple, go with Rick and 1st Rate Construction. As a homeowner, I HAVE struggled to find companies where the person that quotes the work, is the person that does the work. Rick is the owner-operator of his company and will be your point of contact/work the job. He removed lead paint windows and soffit/fascia for me, and some asbestos ductwork. All great work. Thanks Rick !"

"They did a great job. Very professional and fast work. Provided details of the process of what was needed ie materials and timing. Improvement from initial work that was done to reduce any potential molding issue by recommending and replacing a certain area with different material from original."

"Phenomenal experience with Scott! He took great care of us! I’m currently 8 months pregnant and was uncomfortable bringing my child into this model infested apartment. Due to Scott’s expertise the leasing office broke my lease without penalties and will reimburse deposit fees. Thanks again! Highly recommended."

"Project went very smoothly. Very knowledgeable group and worked with insurance well."

"Removing old wallpaper revealed mold on the dinning room and adjoining kitchen wall. Contacted Abatement Contractors (ACU) and left a message to contact me. Within 20 minutes got a call from Terri Cowart, owner of ACU, and scheduled an appointment for the very next day. Terri inspected the wall and there was no question the mold had to be removed. A previous test by another entity determined the mold was of a particularly toxic variety, but not active. I also had an air quality test done by a third party and it showed the air inside the home was okay. The inactivity of the mold and it being covered by wallpaper would likely explain why there was no moldy smell that would have put me on notice of a problem. In addition, I had begun to remove old kitchen tiles and dinning room flooring and Terri suggested an asbestos test on the flooring. Because the house was built in 1959, it was likely that asbestos was present. Terri took a tile sample and had it tested and confirmed the presence of asbestos. The test was $50.00 and paid at time of her inspection. Terri prepared a proposal to remediate the mold and remove the asbestos. After responding to my questions and providing clarification on a few points, I signed the proposal and the work was scheduled for the following week. The crew of four arrived on time and promptly set to work covering the work area in plastic and air cleaning equipment and began removing the moldy sheetrock and floor tiles. Tia, the crew chief, saw to it that all the work was done in accordance with the proposal and answered all my questions and concerns. It took a good 8 hours to set up, commence the remediation, and remove and secure the sheetrock and flooring. The inside wall and studs were then painted with a mold resistant coating. However, the kitchen tiles could not be removed without taking out the subflooring and expose the floor joists and crawlspace below the kitchen. I had not prepared for this, but Terri allowed me time to find someone to put in a subfloor after removal of the old flooring. So the following week, Tia and two crew members again set up and began removing the kitchen floor which took about three hours."

"I called Nathaniel after another contractor found suspected asbestos tape in our crawl space. Nathaniel was able to arrange a same-day appointment for me at a price that was the best of all the many companies I called. He arrived on time and was professional, courteous, and competent. I plan to continue with them for the abatement of any issues his testing uncovers and would highly recommend his team!"

"Prompt, professional, and efficient. James and team were excellent and the finished product was even better than expected. Highly recommend them and would certainly use them again."

"It makes me sad to have to write this review, but I feel obligated to warn people about this company. Mold is a serious problem that can cause very real health complications -- this company is ill-equipped to help you on every level. Steer clear! When I got service in Dec '21, I tried to contact this company for 2 months because it was clear the treatment hadn't worked. At the time, I called both the main office and my technician. The technician told me he'd come back to the house, but never did. I am usually an easy customer who over tips. Their technicians came to the house 3x (to sell me, to treat the house, to retest for mold) and every single time, I had coffee and donuts for them. I knew the names of the technicians kids by the end of this. I was not a difficult customer. They left a lockbox on my front door that needed to be removed. That lockbox was there for 10 months before they finally had a locksmith come take it off my front door. There were other problems with the service, but those now seem minor - they kept rescheduling my date, showed up late, kept quoting me different prices, didn't tell me where they placed my smoke detectors, etc - all minor, indicative of their disorganization, but not a huge deal to me. The real problem is that their treatment doesn't work and after you pay them, they disappear and are completely unresponsive. I'm super sick from mold now and having to spend thousands of dollars to get it out of my system... When they completed my service, they insisted on testing for mold themselves - "it's cheaper, let us test it!" - vs having a 3rd party confirm their treatment had worked. Don't be an idiot like me and let them do this! When they collected the samples, they did so in 10 seconds (I've now learned this is a faulty, ineffective way to collect air samples for mold) - so their faulty tests will show that you have no mold after their treatment... but you still have mold! For two months, I tried to speak to someone about the service. They had promised to respray if it didn't work the first time. No one responded despite several calls and emails. More recently, I started contacting them again in August when I learned I had gotten very ill because their mold treatment doesn't work. I've spent over two months calling their office every week and every week they make up some excuse "we're investigating" "we're waiting for the owner"... but it's been 10+ weeks of me calling and them blowing me off - they hope I will just forget about it and they can keep defrauding customers. At this point, I really just want to warn others to steer clear of this business. They are unethical, unresponsive, and - most importantly - their service is a scam. Beware. I know they will respond to this review with something like "We reached out!" but it's not true. They've blown me off with no offer to remedy the problem for almost a year. This is a bad, unethical business that you should avoid."

"Carlos was responsive, scheduled the work in a timely manner, and treated my house like a masterpiece. Very professional and reasonable priced."
