"Kevin was extremely professional, arrived on time, explained everything he was going to do. He sealed up the entire area he was working in and remained in the area until he was done. He walked us through the work that needed to be done and when he was finished he walked us through the completed work pointing out everything he had done. I would recommend him and his services to everyone in need of asbestos abatement.."

"Angel, manager of AJD Contracting and Asbestos Removal, performed a professional job removing asbestos from our basement. AJD is licensed and certified for residential asbestos removal, so this is why I chose Angel's company. I had several heating pipes that contained at least 80-year-old asbestos, which needed to be removed prior to a boiler upgrade I plan on doing later this year. Angel arrived promptly at 8 AM on the morning of service with two teammates. Angel and his team covered everything in the basement and sealed off those areas before removing the asbestos; he also cleaned, swept and vacuumed the basement to remove any debris and disposed of everything in sealed plastic bags. The entire job cost 2800 dollars and was truly worth the cost, as we will never have to worry about this dangerous material again. I highly recommend AJD general contracting and asbestos removal. I agree with other reviewers that Angel is prompt, courteous, and very clean. Thank you, Angel!"

FAQs for asbestos abatement projects in Forest Hills, NY

Asbestos is a group of six naturally occurring mineral fibers once commonly used in building materials because of their resistance to heat, electricity, and corrosion. However, in 1975, research confirmed that these fibers cause mesothelioma and other cancers, leading to strict usage laws. If your home contains asbestos, removing it can prevent long-term health effects. You'll often find asbestos in the flooring, ceilings, pipes, and roofing of homes built before the 1990s. Common asbestos-containing materials include vermiculite insulation, vinyl flooring, millboard, and corrugated roofing. If you suspect you have asbestos or any of these materials in your home, it's important to hire a reputable abatement company to perform testing.

Currently, there is no federal licensing mandate for asbestos removal contractors. However, certain cities and states require certification and specialized training. For example, in some areas, contractors handling asbestos must receive an Asbestos Handler Certification. Be sure to check your local laws to ensure any contractor you hire meets the necessary requirements.

Homes constructed before the 1990s can conceal asbestos within building materials, and testing provides a definitive answer. You should have your home tested by a certified asbestos inspection service. This professional evaluation identifies hazardous materials and determines whether removal or encapsulation is necessary. Testing safeguards your family’s health and supports smart budgeting for remediation.

Federal law does not require you to disclose the presence of asbestos when selling your home. However, certain states and local jurisdictions impose disclosure regulations that you must follow. Testing and professional remediation confirm that hazardous materials are properly managed. This proactive approach not only meets legal requirements but also protects your property’s value and buyer health.

Asbestos removal affects a home’s resale value because hazardous materials can deter potential buyers. Having toxic substances present lowers buyer confidence and may reduce the property’s value by 1% to 15% if not addressed. Professional remediation ensures safety standards are met and preserves marketability, protecting your long-term investment.

Grants exist at both federal and state levels to support asbestos testing and removal projects. Local housing programs may also offer financial assistance when asbestos is discovered during home repairs. Meeting certification and testing standards is required to secure these funds, which help to manage overall project costs while ensuring safe remediation.
