"I’d like to warn you all about Octagon Construction and the horrible experience we have had with them. Before Thanksgiving, the machine overflowed. For hours. Filled my basement. Serv Pro came and tested everything and determined our floors needed to come out in the basement, kitchen, hall, bathroom and laundry room. Octagon Construction told us we were next on the list. We moved into a hotel. They told us it would be done in a week . They came for a few days and then no one showed up. For days. Mike reached out to them & they said they went to do some other job. Then they told us it would be another week. And then another week. And then another week. When we finally came home after a month + my house was completely filthy. Every nook, every cranny, under several inches of dust, including upstairs, in my bedroom, in my drawers. Everywhere. I took time off from work and started cleaning. Every single thing I own. My previously freshly painted walls now had stuff smeared on them that wouldn’t come off. The dust isn’t regular dust but more like some dust and goo combo that isn’t easy to clean off. Mike had to repaint the walls. But worse, our floor looked like s***. There were tiles popping up everywhere. There were huge gaps around the edge & the trim. The insurance guy came. A tile expert came. And then Octagon informed us we would have to move back to the hotel. I lost it because I’d just spent several days cleaning from the time I got up until the time I went to bed. They promised that this time they would clean. They said they would be done Sunday. When I finally got home Tuesday my couch was IN PIECES in the middle of the living room and s*** was in piles. And the dust was back on everything again and in every nook and cranny. My basement is covered in the dust and wood shavings. My refrigerator is dented. My brand new stool has a hole on it. My weights are covered in thinsulate. There are dings in the walls, paint on the floor, scratches on my fridge and walls. A plant is just entirely missing. I sent pictures to Alex, the schmuck who’s the contact at Octagon. This morning , after promising they would clean everything when he told us we had to move back out, I sent pictures when I got home, I get this message “We have met and exceeded our contractual obligations for our agreed upon scope of work. You will be receiving our invoice for the balance due. “"

We are a full service property maintenance company. In addition we complete demos and complete remodels/builds as well.
"The work was top-notch, but their internal and customer-facing communication is weak. 90% of the job was as expected, but the last two items (shower doors) were installed without us approving the particular door. The owner will say they were approved, but that's not the case. One door we never saw pictures of at all, and for the other we got two cellphone pics of a computer screen saying "this is what we typically install." A month later that ultra-modern looking door was on the wall in my old farmhouse. Complaints on my part were met with threats and bullying until I paid the full balance. I finally decided it was worth missing out on the shower door to get rid of the guy. In the process of the job, I got emails from one person in the company about things that had already been decided by someone else, so it was obvious that the internal communication was weak as well. Glad I can be rid of this company. Too bad because the people they hired to do the actual work at the house were wonderful."

You can buy DIY radon test kits from a home improvement store and conduct radon testing, but these tests are often inaccurate. No matter the result, you should supplement DIY testing with professional radon detection and analysis. DIYers only have access to passive radon tests, which aren’t as reliable as active tests that professionals use. Plus, it’s very easy for DIYers to make mistakes during testing, leading to inaccurate results. If you’re moving into a new home, have concerns about radon, or are due for an updated test, hire a professional.
Radon testing costs depend on whether you hire a professional radon inspector or DIY test. You can expect to pay $150 to $800 to hire a local radon inspector, and home-testing kits range in price from $15 to $250 from home improvement stores. However, it’s best to trust a professional inspector with this task to ensure accurate results. Plus, if you have radon in your home, your testing company can develop a mitigation protocol to keep you and your family safe from the dangerous gas, so it’s well worth the money to hire a professional.
If radon is present in your home, you can expect to pay around $1,000 for a radon mitigation system or between $780 and $1,250 in most cases. The exact price will depend on the severity of the radon leak, home size, and the protocol the radon specialist develops to remove radon from your home and keep it out. Your foundation type will also affect your radon mitigation system cost, as unfinished basements will cost about $4,600 to seal and ventilate, while crawl spaces without a foundation slab may need extra encapsulation, costing $1,500 to $15,000.
Yes, radon testing is absolutely necessary if you suspect the presence of this hazardous gas, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends testing for all homes in the country. Radon is a pervasive natural gas that can leak through your home’s foundation and seep into the living areas. Unfortunately, the gas is highly carcinogenic and is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon testing is crucial for keeping you and your family safe from harm, so hire a radon mitigation specialist to test your home if you suspect its presence in your home.
In most states, radon testing companies don’t need to be licensed or certified by the state, but the companies that analyze the test results and develop radon mitigation protocols do. You should choose a radon testing company that suits your needs, but before hiring a mitigation specialist, check our state licensing tool to make sure the company is properly certified.
