"I suspected the presence of mold in our first floor due to an allergic reaction and a previous leak in the area.  John Riera and his son came, took moisture readings and air samples.  In addition, John was able to troubleshoot and provide other possible causes/solutions to the allergies.  He produced a detailed report with good advice.  The service is pricier than other mold inspection companies, but I like that there is no potential conflict as he does not do remediation, and that his expertise extends to other chemical contaminants."

"Everything went very smoothly. John came out and gave us the estimate. They were able to start right away thanks to a last minute schedule opening. I paid the BAAQMD fee over the phone with a credit card and the job was scheduled. I met Omar, the project leader, on site at 8:30am the next morning and gave him keys. They finished about 2pm the next day, and called us to come inspect the site and pay the balance. They did a great job, the ceilings are nice and smooth, with no holes or damage, which we'd heard can be inevitable with popcorn removal. They cleaned up everything when they were done (in fact, the house was much cleaner than before they got there.)"

"The estimator was very pleasant and knowledgeable on phone and in person. Very quick turnaround from my initial call to appointment day for estimate. Arrived on time for appointment and was efficient. Written estimate sent very quickly after inspection. The quote was very reasonable. But Alliance does not send air abatement samples to lab. It would have had to been done independently.  And the deciding factor for me was I wanted a company who provided a complete package, i.e., not only remove popcorn from ceilings, but texture and paint as well--plus help move heavy furniture if needed.  Because Alliance did not offer the extra services I decided on another company who did. Had I the time and desire to texture and paint ceilings myself-- or locate others to finish the job -- I may have chosen Alliance. <br />"

"Rubal Daniel the Project Manager was compassionate and he set up the whole clean up process and ensured that his crew does a good job. He even followed it up on the day of abatement as well as post abatement about the work done."

"Excellent company! Very easy going in scheduling and doing the job AS SUPPOSED TO BE! They recommended a company for the drywall after the asbestos were removed. However, we said we will shop around. They were fine with the idea. We did go with the company that they recommended, though Synergy workers were punctual, professional, and on task. They have a supervisor who came twice to check on the work performed and the person who verified that no asbestos was present before we would come into the house. We did not do the whole house; definitely we will contract them when we need to do the rest. Everything as should be!"

"The company analyzed the heater and found a nonworking circuit board. The heater is a discontinued unit and it is hard to get replacement parts. Annuzzi called a supplier and found a replacement board available in Las Vegas. He had it expressed out and installed it after work hours on New Years Eve at no extra charge. Unit is performing like it should. As he was the only company called (emergency situation and recommended on Angie's List), I can't verify if the price is economical or not. I was satisfied with the price but gave the company a B rating because of the lack of competition. I would and have recommended Annuzzi for heating services."

"Hired this company to replace part of the attic insulation. We used a special deal that they have and it came out as a good deal for us. <br /> The work was done during a 2 days period and they came, worked and left. very easy process. On top of that, they checked the ducts and made sure they were in good shape and condition. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"We found Landmark construction energy crew, after being frustrated in the past from other contractors. From the initial meeting that we had with Charlie, we were impressed. Their values of customer satisfaction and their deliver everything they said. Charlie was the manager of the work and he was on time for all the meetings that we had with him. He was very straight, kindly and motivated to be invited into our house. He came back and took all the measurements that he needed for the kitchen, asked us many questions about what we would like to include in the new kitchen and 3 days after, he brought us a 3D design for us to look at and see how it will most likely look like. It was exciting to see how fast they could generate a nice design. Charlie knew what he’s doing and we were sure he has done this type of jobs many times before. Their prices are reasonable. We wanted our kitchen finished as soon as possible, so we agreed with Charlie to start the following week. That gave us little time to buy all the appliances, hardware, countertops, tiles Etc… Charlie personally went with us to 2 showrooms where we picked out our tiles and countertops. He also helped us to search and buy all the options for the (sink, faucet, hardware and more…). To be honest, I was probably a nightmare type of work. We moved out of our place during the month of the remodeling and we were a little worried that something would go wrong and we would end up on a terrifying remodeling show. Now after this remodeling is over, we can say clearly that is nothing to worry about when Landmark construction energy crew are working at your house. Their workers was clean, friendly, willing to answer questions. I discovered that Charlie visits the job site every few days, but he too sincerely cares about your home. He always called regarding the schedule, timeline or if there was a problem that need to be solved. We asked for changes to the electric wiring after the tiles have been installed. Would I recommend them to others? Absolutely yes. We will refer this company to all our friends."

"Of course everything had to happen before the holidays! Family coming in from out of the country, and we had a huge water leak in the wall of our kitchen/laundry room, so I looked for a company that could get this "problem" done within 2 weeks, when I called a couple of companies, they laughed, but I was determined to find someone, my wife and I didn't want to spend the holidays in a hotel, so I found Green Planet Mold, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! EZ, was the most wonderful, professional man, hands down, when he came to give us a free estimate, and I asked him if it could be done in 2 weeks, he said "No Problem" and I kid you not, the next day EZ was there with his crew and all I can say is WOW!! No more water leaks, no more mold (didn't even realize we had some) and a new kitchen and laundry room that are so custom and beautiful and all done by December 22 2013! Thank you again, EZ, everyone for an absolutely beautiful job! <br />"

FAQs for asbestos abatement projects in San Francisco, CA

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.
