Mold remediation needed to be done and was not completed . Left with a hole in my ceiling and did not discuss further . Did not explain that demo would be done and no patched would be done after . Did not provide a contract but asked for payment . Very unprofessional.

Brian was great to work with! Very professional and calm, even when I was taken aback when the test results came back positive for asbestos. Explained the process that was needed to remediate the asbestos and performed the remediation quickly and got me back on schedule with my remodel project. Highly recommend this professional.

Brian has been a major help to our family after learning our house has asbestos throughout. He came out quickly after the initial call to advise on what needed testing and what was safe. He performed the testing, and quickly scheduled the remediation where needed. Brian has been patient, understanding, and has provided very helpful guidance where we've come across concerns - especially with a new baby joining the family. His years of experience in this field have also provided a great trust in the advice he has shared.

Brian was both knowledgeable and personable, answering questions we had during his visit and providing excellent recommendations based off his expertise. We needed some linoleum tile and other samples tested for asbestos and he had a great price, clear communication, and quick turnaround on lab results. Would definitely hire again/recommend!

We had a sudden asbestos issue arise after 9 p.m. on a Thursday evening and had to vacate our home. I contacted Great Lakes Contracting that night and couldn't believe when Brian Donelon returned my call at 10:30 p.m. By Friday morning, he was at my home, took samples of the questionable materials, and had test results back to me within less than 48 hours. Then, when I had to have my house abated and remediated, I contracted with Brian and Great Lakes -- he and his team arrived when scheduled to do so and completed the job expertly. Having asbestos found in the house is unnerving, but because of the thoroughness and professionalism of Donelon and his Great Lakes team, I and my family felt safe re-entering the house, I can't say enough good things about Brian Donelon and Great Lakes Contracting and the work they did for me.

The experience working with Brian and the crew, Cedric, Robert, and Jimmy, was easy and professional. Brian came out to see the space, talked through several questions with us, and we were also able to hire the company to remove some of the wall plaster for us while they were doing the job. After removing the ceiling some asbestos coated pipes were found and they were able to remove the asbestos from those, too, for a reasonable additional price for the additional work. Communication was clear and easy, responses rapid, and prices comparable for the service. Would hire again!
Description of Work: We needed a ceiling removed that had asbestos in the plaster. AND we also found asbestos insulated pipes above the ceiling that they were able to remove safely during the job.

This is the 2nd asbestos abatement job I had Brian and his team do at my home--both times removing dangerous asbestos linoleum flooring and the mastic below it. They were able to complete the work right away and were amazingly efficient, clean, and thorough. Brian always stayed in contact with me throughout the whole process, explaining how the work would be done and what safety measures were being taken. He visited the job site twice to make sure things were running smoothly. It is rare to find folks in this industry who have high standards not just in the work they perform, but in how they treat their clients. Brian and his team are hands down the best in the area. Don't even bother with a 2nd quote. Hire Great Lakes Contracting!

The crew that showed up was a three man team. They were professional, thorough, and clean! They did the job in two day! Reasonably priced due to how much plaster and asbestos needed to be removed. I would recommend them!

Brian and his crew were very quick to assess the situation in our basement. The removal was scheduled within the week and his team had it removed in one day. They were super kind and professional. I really appreciate their hard work - and the safety precautions they took to take care of my family and themselves. Well done and thank you!
