"Elite Environmental worked together with CMH Restoration Group to complete asbestos and lead testing along with mold and water mitigation. All work was completed as agreed to using excellent containment for all 3 rooms involved during the entire process. Though it took longer than expected and involved removing more of the ceiling to expose all of the mold, no additional charges were added."

"I priced a number of companies for asbestos testing of a structure. Kurtis responded promptly and was able to conduct the test within just a couple of days of my call. They followed up with a call to let me know my results as soon as they were ready, the promptly mailed and emailed the final report. Very nice and total pros and the price is among the best in the biz."

"Their work ethic is a Aplus! They were probably late to start working a couple of times but made up the time and stayed later to advance on the kitchen. They definitely did work early in the mornings and sometimes they wouldn't work, but only because they have inspection to pass. I like the fact that they passed inspections, only once was it a minor little detail that the inspector brought to they attention but he let it be done while he was there and inspection passed. Demo was probably tough on them, the stucco was a bit old and strong. But after that the foundation happened and everything happened so fast(stages) my addition seemed to be a lot bigger than I thought it would be but I am definitely happy with the end work. They did not do finishes because I have family members that helped but as far as construction I was impressed with the quality and the fact that I have warranty made me a happy camper. Thanks to the team and office staff that checked up about twice a week!

"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."

"I first used Build A Dream to replace a few windows in my mother’s house. I was impressed by their integrity, honesty and especially their finished work. I was so pleased with the finished work and the way that they worked that I invited them to my house to consider remodeling 2 bathrooms and a kitchen. Sean & Matt have been especially easy to work with, great communicators, innovative design engineers and just plain great people. I highly recommend this company (especially Sean & Mat"

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Idyllwild, 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.
