"Good service, on time, well done, BUT . . . told me to look at the web site for prices when I stopped in to make the appointment. The web site priced out $10 less than charged at completion and they also wanted to charge an additional $4 for the credit card. I paid the whole bill in cash (including the extra ten). I tipped $10 (normally I tip $20 for this job) but did not return to have GF's car done the following week. Just didn't seem professional enough to feel good with return business. That's just me. You may feel differently. After all, the clean up and wax were good!"

"Run away from this company!!! Home Pro Inspections of Jacksonville Florida has provided me with the single most negative customer experience I have ever had. I hired Home Pro to inspect a house I was in the process of buying. The house was being sold “as is” so I needed to understand everything going on in the house to be certain of any issues. During the inspection, conducted by Jeffrey Smith, I called out specifically wood dust that was in the lanai. My real estate agent also asked about the dust. I wanted to know what was causing it and was it something to be concerned about. Jeff inspected the dust and concluded it presented no sign of termites and was therefore “Nothing to worry about.” That is a direct quote. The inspection concluded and I ended up buying the house. After a month or so I was in the process of removing the roof on the lanai when I came upon a massive infestation of Carpenter Ants in exactly the spot where the wood dust had accumulated. Ultimately, I would learn this infestation compromised an entire wall of the house. I have had the wall repaired, the house has been sprayed extensively to remove all the ants, but there is still interior work such as rewiring, sheet rock and finish work to be completed. I estimate the costs of fully rectifying this damage will be in excessive of $25,000. I contacted Home Pro about the infestation immediately upon discovering it. Their website and my interaction with Jeff had suggested that Home Pro was fully insured against these types of issues. I spoke to Mr. Ryan Wagner at Home Pro. He refused to come back out and inspect the damage. On the basis of one email he concluded that Home Pro was without liability and would in no way help. He told me I could perhaps recover the costs of having a company come to deal with the infestation. That had already been accomplished by Nadar’s, an excellent local company. That was the extent of what Home Pro was prepared to do I went through my agent and real estate broker at Watson Reality, another excellent local company, asking them to reach out to the owner of the company Wally Conway. Apparently, Wally told the Watson broker that my only recourse against Home Pro was to take them to court. In subsequent direct communication between myself and Wally I informed him that it was not too late for him to do the right thing. But if he failed to face up to the fact that his company utterly failed me in identifying a huge issue with my house, I would be compelled to warn other consumers of the deficiencies of Home Pro and its dealings. I informed him that I would carry this to the pages of Google Review, Angie’s list, among others, and that I would let every real estate agent I could contact know how shoddily his company was acting. I was then informed by Mr. Wagner that I should apply for relief under the insurance program offered by Residential Warranty Services. I had reviewed the RWS policy associated with my inspection previously. It had clearly carved out inspector oversight/failure as an uninsurable claim type. Basically, their warranty was for incursions/issues post-inspection. I received a phone call from Mr. Lane Clegg from RWS Insurance asking me to make a claim for compensation. I pointed out that his company’s insurance did not cover the circumstance. He acknowledged this but urged me to apply regardless. I received that same day a letter from Mr. Mark Cohen a lawyer in Boulder Colorado who identified himself as “Special Council” for RWS and a legal advisor of sorts for Wally and Home Pro. In this letter Mr. Cohen threatened me with a defamation suit if I in any way spoke out about my experience with Wally or Home Pro. He cited two cases PETE SESSA & ASSOCIATES v. BRENDA SCHAFFER and ANGIES LIST, as well as CRAIG PECH, ERIE INSURANCE EXCHANGE v. TERRI RACINE, ABC INSURANCE COMPANY as precedent for a claim that Wally and Home Pro would have against me if I shared my experience with other consumers. Both of these cases are irrelevant to the circumstance. I replied to Mr. Cohen and enquired about this unsolicited communication with me and what it said about RWS, Wally and Home Pro. He declined further communication. In an effort to bring the matter to a close I followed up and made an application for coverage under the RWS insurance. Unsurprisingly I was informed by a Mr. P. Nathan Thornberry that RWS had determined that there was no fault on Wally’s or Home Pro’s part. In what I can say was one of the most outrageous comments ever to pass in a commercial dispute Mr. Thornberry actually said that Home Pro should be “praised” for their excellent work. Aside, of course, from missing the ant village living in my wall I suppose. In ongoing emails with Mr. Thornberry, I continue to be threatened with legal action were I to relate the details of these discussions with Mr. Thornberry, Wally, Mark Cohen, and Home Pro. The simple fact is that “Truth” is a perfect defense against defamation. Everything I have relayed above is the truth. It is basic gaslighting. Always appear to be reasonable, insinuate ill-intent, suggest that redress is just around the corner. It is laughable and sad that this company prances to protect Wally from the consequences of his company’s failings. In closing, my experience is that this is a terrible company that does not stand behind its work. When caught out they threaten legal action if you are going to expose them. My advice is to find another company to inspect your house."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Jacksonville, FL

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.
