"They're very professional, and the pricing was fair. Everything was clean and taped up nicely. The mold remediation was done really, really well. They checked everywhere that we wanted them to check, and we were very happy with the service. They were always there on time and when they said they were going to be."

"The project went very easy considering all contact between Nina at ARC Water Damage and myself was conducted by telephone. It would have been extremely difficult for me to have met with someone from ARC to sign work orders, pay a deposit etc. Having spoken with Nina I was very comfortable that ARC would do a quality and through job, without my personal involvement."

"My research about everything that can be a good benefit for me about energy, lead me to Landmark construction crew. I read a lot in their website and after I contacted them, I initiate a meeting with Ezra and Roy. They arrived to my house and recommended me to perform a fully audit that will reveal a full picture of any leaks or issues that I might have at the house. The audit didn't cost much and Ezra with additional 2 people, worked for several hours and checked everything. Their report revealed that there were several issues including the windows and AC system. As part of my work with them, I had them fix some of the issues. Ezra was very nice to me from the moment he showed at my house. He always backed up his recommendations with the results of the report."

"Smart Builders was very helpful in scheduling and working around other workers who were at the house.  The crew was very professional and efficient in its work, and we were completely comfortable in leaving them to do the job while we were gone.
Also, Smart Builders uses a foam product that is optimal for as a fire barrier, and that does not have any odor 24 hours after application.  We are very happy with the work that Smart Builders did.

FAQs for asbestos abatement projects in San Jose, 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.
