"Michael Kuretich thoroughly tested the inside and outside of the house for lead paint. He took many samples from linoleum glue (black tar) on different surfaces and had them tested for asbestos. He came back a few times and tested the air after the removal of lead-containing bathroom tiles and flooring that contained asbestos in the glue. He did not charge me for one of his visits and inspections. His price is really fair while maintaining quality. He is knowledgeable ang gives sound advice. I used one of the companies he recommended for lead and asbestos removal and I was very happy with their work as well.
Another company listed with Angie's List wanted much more for the same service. When I asked why, he said that is the price for and quot;wall-to- wall testing.and quot; Please watch out for crooks.
I highly recommend him.

"I definitely recommend ITM Construction if you are considering having any work done on your home. It can be pretty nerve wracking hiring a contractor, Tom eliminated all that from the beginning. I am very pleased with the end result of remodeling job Tom and his crew performed. I was putting this work off for years and I was referred to ITM by a friend. Tom is a true professional, full of creativity and keeps his deadlines. It was a pleasure watching the progression of the work and seeing the true skill of Tom's crew. Tom made himself available to answer all my questions throughout the project. The final product is stunning, thanks to a lot of ideas from Tom and a mix in of my own ideas."

"Planning my kitchen has been my dream since I bought my new home 2-1/2 years ago. After meeting with other contractors i decided not to wait any longer. I am pleased to give Venetian Builders, a family-owned construction company, my rating of “excellent” in their completion of my kitchen renovation. Michael and Jonathan (project manager) sat down with me to discuss my vison and budget constraints. Jonathan and Michael assured me that they would take necessary precautions to protect my house and my pets during the process. We came up with a design plan and schedule dates. The city inspector was familiar with the company and the project manager and gave approved with no corrections needed. Three words describe Venetian Builders, Inc……..Superb quality, dependability, and customer service. I will definitely use them for future projects and I highly recommend them. Jonathan kept me apprised of progress daily, in person or by phone, ensuring the workers were completing their tasks properly. I never had to worry. Jonathan is very detail oriented, knowledgeable, and congenial. After each step we checked to make sure I was satisfied with the progress. At the end of the project, Jonathan went step by step with me to make sure I was happy with the results. I love my new kitchen….and now I am excited about new recipes! I am now a proud member of the Venetian Builders family. Please feel free to contact me for further details."

"the price was negotiable, was a little over my budget but for the quality of the work. I can see why it was the price it was. I have to keep in mind my house isn't not small, so they square footage that is already existing PLUS the addition, made it a lot bigger. I like that the workers were here constantly. Even through out inspections, once it was passed they continued to work. The foreman was also great and would constantly inform me about the stages that were going to come next. As far as the office, i cannot complain. Any concerns i had were resolved right away, and I had constant communication from the coordinator and the accounting side, along with a young lady that would come every week to check up and make sure the job was being ran properly.

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Newbury Park, 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.
