I hired ERI for two different jobs - removing popcorn ceiling and removing asbestos containing ducting. In both cases asbestos containing material was clearly left behind after they supposedly finished the job. They tried to charge me over $1000 extra to come back and finish the job. It seemed very unprofessional to me and when I tried to share these concerns with them over the phone in a reasonable manner, I was rudely talked down to by one of their managers. Meanwhile, the presence of asbestos was preventing us from getting our HVAC system fixed by another company and we ended up going for weeks without heat in the middle of winter. It seems like their main goal is to get as much money out of you as possible, and they couldn't care less about your safety or satisfaction. I highly recommend you do not hire this company.

They wanted to charge $6000 for a very small area. I wasn't very happy with them. The owner tried to placate me by taking something off the bill, but it just really was a bad experience. I won't go back to them again. The actual workers who did the job were good. The inspector and the person who decided what was to be done were obnoxious. He wasn't kind and talked on and on. His professionalism was terrible.
Description of Work: They performed abestos removal in my home.

Was recommended by our heating contractor and we would definitely use ERI again. Steve came out to the site to do the estimate and we got the bid later that afternoon. Was able to get the work scheduled per our time line. ERI showed up on time and completely the work pretty quickly.
Description of Work: Environmental Remedies Inc. removed asbestos covered heater ducting. ERI sealed up the entry crawl space so no asbestos dust enters the house, bagged and removed the ducting to an approved disposal site.

We were refereed to ERI by the drywall company that we had approached for pop corn ceiling removal as the test for asbestos came back positive. I worked with Steve Tamayo from ERI. He was able to quickly come in to provide the estiamtes and was able to fit our project with in their schedule ASAP as we had a very aggressive move in date.He was available every single time I had called him or texted him with any questions. He not only got he work done in the estimated time, but also referred us to the folks for testing air quality after abatement and Dry wall company for texturing and wall paper removal. Even though, we used the reference he had provided for air quality testing, we ended up using some one else for drywall texturing. All in all, very satisfied with Steve and his crew's work and professionalism. They even cleaned the house after the works was completed. I would highly recommend them!
Description of Work: ERI perfomed the removal of asbestos in the popcorn ceiling from our 1969 built house.

Immediate response and quick and efficient removal of hazardous substances! A terrific company with a very hard working crew. Thanks everyone! We live in an area with homes that were built in the 50s and 60s. If you have a home like mine, don't risk exposure to hazardous substances. Call ERI first!
Description of Work: I had a flood in my laundry room which caused damage to the walls, built in cabinets and flooring. ERI came into the picture after my water remediation company arrived. It turned out that my 55-year old home has both asbestos in the walls and in old layers of vinyl flooring, and lead paint in addition to mold growth from the water damage. I had it all. What a mess. They came in, contained the kitchen and laundry room area, and worked two full days pulling out the walls, flooring and cabinets that were affected. They worked long hours over a two-day period to get rid of everything. It all happened so quickly! They contained the area and made sure asbestos fibers were not airborne before leaving. I had been so sick leading up to the discovery of the mold problem that I could barely talk, and I had lost two birds in two days, so I was in quite a panic, but Mike at ERI came to my rescue quickly, and I soon recovered once the room was stripped down to the framing and sub floor. I hope this never happens again, but I know now that if work has to be done on my home in the future, I'll be sure to call them. I would have never known about the asbestos if this hadn't happened. For all the work they did and the hauling of hazardous substances, I feel their charge was very reasonable. I am so grateful to Mike and his crew. Thanks Mike!

We set up an appointment with Jaime Tamayo for the next day. When he did not show up on time, we called and he apologized that he was and quot;stuck in San Franciscoand quot; but would send his son out the next day. The next day, a Friday, we again called Jaime when his son did not show up at the designated time - 10AM. He apologized an said his son had gotten the and quot;wrong dayand quot; - thought it was for Monday. Jaime was in Santa Cruz at that time but said he would make sure to come by later that Friday afternoon. At 3PM, having not heard from him, we called Jaime and he said he was and quot;stuck in traffic on 17and quot; but guaranteed that he had an and quot;associateand quot; in Walnut Creek that would stop by for the estimate if he was not able to make it. Again, no one showed up and at 6PM I called Jaime again - this time no answer - straight to his answering machine. I left a message but never heard from him again - not an apology or even an acknowledgement of my message. I guess long weekends in Santa Cruz are more important than a potential customer.
Description of Work: We called ERI to schedule an estimate for some asbestos abatement.
