"Excellent Water/Well Testing Service from NextDay Inspect – Highly Recommend! I recently had a water/well test done by NextDay Inspect, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the entire process. From scheduling the appointment to receiving the results, everything was seamless and professional. Sonya, the inspector who came out, was amazing. She was punctual, thorough, and took the time to explain the entire testing process. She made sure I understood what was being tested and why, which gave me confidence in the results. The whole experience was smooth and stress-free, and I really appreciated how well everything was organized. The results were delivered quickly, and NextDay followed up to make sure I had all the information I needed. I can confidently say that NextDay Inspect provides top-tier service, and I highly recommend them for anyone needing water/well testing."

However, they NEVER rendered payment to the flooring company and I am still left with an unfinished home for me and my children. Not to say my home is unlivable, because it is. But this company took money from me without the completion of services. Two months ago he said he was going to pay the flooring company and get me scheduled for the middle of May...that never happened. The most recent message from the owner Friday the 24th of June, after over two months of silence was that he was going to pay the flooring company last week and has not done so. Well it's been two weeks today and still nothing. Neither myself or the flooring company has not been able to reach anyone at Eagle Environmental."

"Avoid Power Home Remodeling at all costs. This was one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had with a company. I’ll be actively warning everyone I know to stay far away, and I truly hope this review helps others do the same. A representative from Powers came to my door and said they were doing work in the neighborhood. He offered a free quote on a new roof. I didn’t have time that day, so we scheduled a follow-up for Saturday morning. I assumed it would be straightforward—measure the roof, give me a quote. Oh, how wrong I was. On Saturday, a completely different representative showed up and proceeded to deliver a five-hour sales pitch. I made it clear from the start that I was only looking for a roof quote—but instead, I got a relentless push for add-ons like doors, gutters, and radiant barriers. He brought out props, used aggressive high-pressure tactics, and repeatedly tried to get me to sign on the spot—despite me stating multiple times that I wasn’t making any decisions that day. The entire experience felt deceptive, exhausting, and borderline coercive. I didn’t agree to a five-hour in-home ambush—I just wanted a quote. Power Home Remodeling will waste your time and try to pressure you into overpriced services, and make it extremely difficult to get them to leave, even after you’ve clearly said no."

The cost for asbestos removal is between $1,200 and $3,200 for average homeowners. This cost could be as little as $450 or as high as $6,000, depending on the affected area's size, the location of the asbestos, and the type of asbestos you're dealing with.
For example, removing asbestos from attic insulation averages $11 to $25 per square foot. However, removing asbestos from an HVAC unit is more expensive, at around $35 to $55 per square foot.
No, you should not remove asbestos from your home yourself. It is not worth risking your health, or the health of your family.
There are strict laws regarding the demolition, encapsulation, and removal of asbestos. Not only could you face potential violations, but you could be putting yourself and others at risk. If you don't have the proper asbestos removal gear, you could inhale the asbestos fibers, which could lead to lung cancer or mesothelioma.
Since DIY asbestos removal isn’t the best option to save money, there are other steps that you can take to help cut costs when dealing with this project. After speaking with your asbestos removal expert, discuss if encapsulation is an option. If it is, you can save between 15% to 25% on overall project costs over demolition and disposal. In addition, when speaking with your professional, discuss if there are any tax credits available for your removal project. Finally, check with your homeowner’s insurance to see if any removal costs might be covered. However, be aware that this is usually only applicable if the asbestos is due to a covered incident, like a tree falling into your roof.
It can be scary to need asbestos removal from your home—you might be concerned about your family’s health, the overall condition of your house, and what repairs might need to be done. You can ask your asbestos consultant some questions to ensure your project is completed as safely as possible. Some questions to ask include:
Do you have the proper credentials for removing and disposing of asbestos?
How long will this project take to complete?
Have you worked on a project like this before?
Do you use new protective gear at each job site?
How do you prevent asbestos fibers from being released into the home?
How big is the crew you will send?
How do you clean up after a project?
The most common sign of asbestos is the age of your home. Asbestos was banned in drywall in 1977, though many products still contained asbestos until the 1980s. Indicators of possible asbestos in your home include:
Your home's age, if built before 1980
You have a home with vinyl flooring or millboard that was installed between 1952 and 1982
Your home has corrugated roofing
Your home has walls made from cement sheets
Your home has vermiculite insulation
