"I liked the service with this company. I called them to check my air ducts and I was able to schedule a technician 2 days after. Them they came over, checked my system and recommended me only to perform a cleaning and nothing else.
The cleaning took 2 hours and they didn't leave any dust or mess after they finish the work.

"I had a great experience with Isaac Forensic. Rafi and team responded quickly in an urgent situation, cleaned and fixed the mold problem the same day and in a short time. I am extremely happy with the service and the knowledge that Rafi demonstrated through the process. Highly professional and realizable. I would definitely recommend them!"

"They came out on the 6th of April to look over the project.  They were on time that day and advised they would get back with me right away with the estimate.  I didn't hear from him and still didn't hear from them and so I messaged them on April 11th from the website. On April the 16th they advised they had death in the family and would get in touch with me asap.  I contacted Angie's List because I was approaching the 30 day refund window.  I finally heard from them yesterday on April 27th and they advised that there might be additional caulking costs as well as cost for paint failure.  I have decided to cancel the Big Deal and contacted Angie's List for my full refund."

"I was very pleased with the work that they did.  It was completed promptly and was very professional.  There was a problem with the wind when they were spraying the paint (even knocked over a ladder) so they had to stop early one day, but they made up the time on the Saturday at the end of the project.  Everything was very neat and attention was paid to some very old and therefore fragile plants.  They were very willing to take care of some details that were important to me.  The crew was very friendly.  I would recommend A-1 Painting to friends.

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Greenbrae, 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.
