Brian and his team were very nice and professional! He called me back within minutes of submitting my info on Angie’s List! I had asbestos flooring removed in a bedroom. You can’t even tell it was there now! I’ve used two other companies before and neither one sanded the floor down. I would highly recommend.

I highly recommend Brian and his team of Cedric and Robert. Our HVAC contractor put Brian in touch with us and HE called US that same day from his vacation. We had a 97-year old boiler and asbestos throughout the basement that needed to be removed. Our basement was also full of stuff, which they were able to move and work around as necessary. Brian came out on a Sunday to look at the job and started the work the next day. He's very responsive to texts and phone calls and communicates as to when the crew will arrive and leave and how the work is going. The guys were very nice, friendly, polite, and cleaned up when they were done. It was a great experience.

Brian and his team were extremely professional, responsive, and communicative throughout the process. I particularly appreciated Brian’s communication on time of arrival, progress, and day’s results while they were on the job. The team was very thorough in their work and the results were well done and timely. Brian’s final touches to make sure the job was done right, personally coming back on a Sunday to finish some punch list items, was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Brian to friends and family and will use him again if the need arises.

Great Lakes Contracting did an outstanding job. Brian got back to me right away to schedule the asbestos testing and the results report was emailed to me promptly. When I was ready to have the asbestos removed Brian scheduled the work to be completed quickly and his team was very professional and knowledgeable. i would highly recommend Great Lakes Contracting for asbestos removal.

Brian came out on short notice and took care my basement. Brian also found more asbestos and removed or encapsulated everything. There was no asbesto removal in my area and Brian came out personally to help take care of our asbestos issue. Lastly the pricing was fair.

Brian responded remarkably quickly to the Angie's List query, despite it being a weekend, and he and his team were on the job less than 2 days later. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. Brian even spent extra time after the job was complete helping us understand our home's plumbing system and answering additional questions. Thank you for a job well done.

Perfect. Always answers phone (calls or texts). Came to the job on time. Left on time. Did all the work in the timeframe he said he would. The area was left clean and tidy. The work performed was outstanding. The crew had masks on all the time, and left the place in great condition. They were very respectful and answered all the questions I had prior and after the work was done. I would recommend them and use them again.

Removal this time as well as during previous work they did for us was very professional, safe, and well cleaned afterwards. They were also quite honest about the work that needed to be done to meet required standards. We appreciated that Great Lakes contractors did not take advantage of us by doing more work than what was required. Their pricing is fair and worth every penny!

This team was very professional and was able to come in and get it done pretty quickly (we were in the middle of a basement reno when it was discovered, so we had to put everything on hold). They put tarps all around the working area (including the floor) and were very efficient. I even called afterwards to ask additional questions, and Brian was very helpful and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend!!

Great Lakes contracting was punctual, efficient, and courteous. They tested my floor on short notice for asbestos and fit me into their schedule quickly for its removal. They removed the asbestos from our floors and patched some insulation in our pipes and it all looks fantastic. I highly recommend Great Lakes Contracting for Asbestos testing and removal.
