Hometown Building Solutions Inc

The company was extremely responsive and accommodated the tight timeline to schedule a visit with Mike. He was prompt and very professional. He explained the issues and recommended options to address the remediation. Mike was very helpful and provided the estimate within few hours of his visit.

Mike came out and explained everything thoroughly for me which was great. They came in less than a week later and it only took the day to get everything done plus a day or 2 of the air circulation. They were easy to contact and very professional. Hometown was about $400 less than a different company that gave me an estimate.

small job removing asbestos from cellar pipes. Mike explained how he would do job. He did it very efficiently in a few hours at a reasonable price.

Mike called me back promptly after I left a message and showed up when he said he would. He looked at my tile, said he thought it was a small job and not likely asbestos tile. Saying he thought I didn't need him and that it would be a waste of my money not to do it myself, he gave me some tips about mold remediation and tile removal. He also went into the backyard to look at my roof and talked about how we might solve our moisture problem. I appreciated his honesty and his advice. If I needed service again, I would definitely contact him.

It went very very well....they were here exactly when they said they would be here. Very nice and courteous.

Very well Had a number of estimates but choose Hometown because Michael Curran gave the most through inspection and best explanation along with a detailed, point for point written estimate. In addition Michael worked with my time table and that of the plumbing company that was to do HVAC work when asbestos was removed After work was finished Micheal provided me with a third party independent lab air quality test results that showed that no asbestos was to be found in air samples taken in my house.

Mike came out and looked at the job. He described his proposed processes thoroughly. He sent me a written estimate. So far so good. After doing some research, I write him with two questions: (1) about whether he could mitigate the asbestos using a "glove bag" small containment system since the area is only 2'x3', rather than the more extensive and expensive system he proposed and (2) why his asbestos estimate was the same as his mold estimate when the asbestos area to be removed is 1.75 sf and the mold 208 sf, with virtually identical procedures used to isolate the area, use Hepa vacs and suits, etc. Plus the mold requires two coatings applications and the asbestos only one sealant after it is scraped off. I never heard back from him or anyone at Hometown. I never heard back from him.

Great! Mike was professional and knowledgeable and showed up on time when he said he would.

They were responsive, handled most things by email (my preference), were reasonably priced, showed up exactly when they said they would, were polite.

Hometown Insulation was great ... they responded to my call promptly, came out same day for an estimate, and scheduled / completed the work the next week. They were professional, handled all permits, did exactly what was expected, and were clean and courteous. No mess to worry about afterwards, the final price was exactly as estimated, and their work was great. Highly recommended.

My experience with Mike from Hometown Insulation was great. He was was able to quote my property quickly, delivered a competitive quote, and provided the services laid out in his quote. His crew was able to finish the job a day ahead of schedule. My one nitpicky comment is that, after his crew finished the job, I didn't receive a phone call explaining why the job had been finished early. However, when I called him, he was very apologetic and explained right away the difference between what I expected and what had happened. On top of that, he immediately sent over the safe occupancy documents, assuring me that the room was asbestos-free and safe to use. This quibble wasn't a big deal to me and certainly wouldn't prevent me from using him again for asbestos removal.

It went really well. Michael was professional even given the extenuating circumstances of my home being renovated and I was not as prompt as possible with my arrivals to our appointments.

During the recent inspection process for a home I had for sale, one of the inspectors said they "thought" the insulation on our plumbing was asbestos. I had never dealt with that before so I looked for someone on Angie's list and thank goodness for Mike Curran and Hometown Insulation. Mike came out quickly and assessed that yes it was indeed asbestos. He quickly got us a proposal for the work. He was the lower bid, but you would have thought I had hired Walt Disney himself. He explained the process, scheduled us perfectly to get it done while the client was out of the house and just in time for settlement. He handled all the air testing and kept us in the loop about other contractor's performance as well. (The insulation being removed was in a crawl space -so we didn't really see it first hand) Mike took photos to show us what it all looked like. Great job and if I ever need it again you can be sure Mike will be my first phone call.

The work provided by Hometown Insulation was as described during the estimate. The owner Mike Curran was very responsive to questions and concerns about timing of work and cleanliness. The workers took great care to properly seal their work areas and clean up after themselves such that no debris was noticed outside of their work area. The ability to describe the work performed, answer questions, and remain flexible with work dates made this process go smoothly.

Mike inspected our house for asbestos after a pre-sale inspection idenfied probable asbestos pipe insulation in the basement. There were a couple small areas of exposed pipe with deteriorating/friable asbestos-containing material. Hometown insulation completed the removal in a timely fashion. They were clean and thorough in the set-up and control of the work area, including sealing off the area with plastic and creating negative air pressure with an air blower and particulate filter to prevent asbestos fibers from escaping the work area. I work in the environmental remediation field and have some training with hazardous material cleanup. I was impressed with the professionalism and cleanliness of Hometown Insulation. We had a relatively small window of time between purchasing the house and moving into it where we wanted to complete the removal. Hometown was responsive and helpful in meeting that schedule. In addition, we approached them about combining our removal work a small asbestos removal job at a friend's house on the same block. Because both jobs were small enough that they could be completed on the same day, Hometown was able to combine the two. Their willingness and flexibility to combine the jobs into a single day saved both of us money on the removal. Great work, professional, clean, communicative. Highly recommended.

The first time Michael came to the house, he looked at all of the areas we plan to remodel (3 bathrooms) and gave us his opinion on what materials could potentially contain asbestos. He also volunteered to check out the basement as well. In the basement, he identified old tiles and glue that could have asbestos, however we decided not to have them tested as we do not plan to disturb them at this point. He also mentioned that there could be old asbestos insulation behind a vent we plan to move in the master bath, as well as possible asbestos containing tile under our current bathroom tile (the floor is raised, so it appears a new tile floor was put over the old one). As we are now getting ready to demo that bathroom, we asked him to come back out to take samples. When he opened the vent, he could see no insulation. He broke up a bit of the tile as well, but only found a thicker concrete wet bed underneath, no old tile floor. It was a relief to us! Therefore, there were no samples taken. Michael did all of this work free of charge. I definitely plan to contact him again in the future if we have any other asbestos related concerns.

Very respectful of surroundings On time Performed exactly as proposed Great team

We were very pleased with the quality and the service which they provided. The price was very reasonable and was below all other quotes that were given. They showed up on time, were very respectful and did a clean and professional job. They do not take credit cards, but they were willing to wait until after the sale of the house for payment, which was a huge help. If you have any asbestos issues Hometown Insulation should be the first company you call.

We were in the middle of installing a hardwood floor and needed an almost immediate professional opinion on the flooring material used. Mike made an adjustment to his schedule and went out of his way not only to make sure he came to the property as soon as possible but to give his professional opinion - which now puts him in trusted advisor status in our book. For future needs I will be calling on Mike and his company.

Michael reviewed a few different areas in my home (built in 1970) for asbestos. There were a few materials that he thought may possibly have asbestos. I sent the samples to a lab myself and received good news that none of them had asbestos so I did not have to hire Michael to do any abatement. Michael was very helpful. I plan to contact Michael in the future if I have any future concerns.

Great experience - Mike was friendly and responsive, and was flexible with the scope of the project as I decided to change it a few times based on budget. The work was performed well and on time - team was clean and professional

Mike looked at the ceiling tiles and gave us his opinion - that they were unlikely to contain asbestos based on his experience. He told us that he couldn't guarantee that, and that to be certain we could have the material tested. We felt very comfortable with his assessment and did not pursue further testing. Mike was punctual, polite, friendly, and forthright.

I called Mike after I experienced a bit of a panic attack regarding the plaster in our home. I explained to him I knew plaster from the early 20th century was known to use horse/hog hair, but I also knew asbestos was also being used in some plaster during that time as well. He reassured me on the phone that asbestos was unlikely, however, he'd be happy to come to the house and take a look at no cost to us. The next day, he projected a time for his arrival, however, when he was delayed slightly, he sent me a text to inform me he would be a few minutes later than he originally anticipated (anticipated around 4PM, arrived around 4:10PM). He arrived on at the house with a tablet with pictures of asbestos as a reference and was happy to answer all of our questions. He looked at all of the types of plaster in the house and confidently dismissed the possibility of asbestos in the plaster. Additionally, although he offered his services to have samples tested, he did not pressure or fear-monger us into getting unnecessary sampling. He told us to think about, and let him know if we decided to move forward with testing. I highly recommend HomeTown for their responsiveness, receptiveness, helpfulness, and professionalism. I felt immediately confident and comfortable with his review and advise. Highly recommend them, and will definitely call them in the future if I need further work.

Mike was in the house the day after an estimate was requested, and completed the job a few days later. He was thorough in his explanation of what needed to be done, how the job was progressing, and responded quickly to any questions I had. His pricing was pretty on par with other people I spoke with. I would use Mike again.

Mike was great. Professional, courteous, and responsive.
