"We had a water heater leak/break in a rental unit. They responded to a call and was able to show up and provide an onsite estimate. They worked with our insurance and provided us with same day service, helped us walk through the process of working with our insurance and assisted us with dealing with the removal of the damaged items in the house and worked around the items in the house while we took care of scheduling the removal of household goods. They were able to work with us while we deal with the insurance payment and flexible with meeting us on our time to deal with payments and quick to answer questions we had about the services."

Empire Roofing is a locally owned and family operated business. Empire Roofing was started in 1990 by Joe Apsey-Vaughn, A Colorado Springs native, who now resides in Black Forest. \n\nIn the early days, Joe was just looking to work everyday to provide for his family. Joe would do estimates in the morning, and do the roofs in the afternoon, he was a true “1 man shop”! He always was fair with his customers and was known for always doing the right thing. It did not take long until word spread and Empire started to grow. In 1998, Empire earned the Excellence in Customer Service award from the Better Business Bureau.\n \nFlash-forward to today, Empire still operates using the same principals. Always striving to give each customer the best experience possible, during the challenging process of having their roof replaced. Empire prides itself on the fact that 75% of all of their work comes from referrals or previous customers. That proves that “always doing the right thing” is the formula for success!\n

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Cripple Creek, CO

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.
