Description of Work: Hometown remediated asbestos from the basement of our new home. Their price was well below the only other provider I contacted and they were able to complete the remediation in less than a week from the date of my first contact. Mike was extremely responsive to all my questions and he coordinated very effectively with my contractor.

Mike's quote was much lower and I had a sense that he was competent and would do the job well. We are very happy with the results and with the quality and with quality and professionalism Mike demonstrated. We would definitely use him and his company again if required.
Description of Work: We received two quotes for Asbestos Removal: one from ACI Tech and the other from Mike Curran of Hometown Insulation for asbestos remediation of pipes in our basement and crawl space.

Mike and his son were fantastic. We needed asbestos removed before settling on a house and they were extremely accommodating. They worked very quickly and efficiently and were able to get all of the work completed and air testing done in time for our closing. Their pricing was very fair and they left the house cleaner than when they entered! Would highly recommend to anyone in need of asbestos removal.

I had originally tried to contact another company to schedule a time for someone to come out and give me a quote. I left several messages and did not hear anything back. I decided to look around more and found Hometown Insulation. Mr. Curran answered the first time I called and we were able to set up an appointment. The closing date for the house I was purchasing kept getting pushed back and I had to postpone the quote day a couple of times, but Hometown Insulation was flexible. Overall, I was very happy with the job these guys performed. They were professional and the job was done fairly quickly. It did not take longer than I was told it would and the price did not go up from the quoted price. Asbestos removal is the sort of home improvement that needs to be done correctly. I would recommend this crew to anyone.

Overall it went very well. Better than I expected. I am always skeptical with contractors but Mike and his staff are honest and professional.
Description of Work: I found Hometown Insulation, Mike Curran and his team, to be extremely professional and helpful. Mike took the time to understand my problem and explain my options. Got back to me quickly, sent his son and a staff member who were also very professional and polite, and kept me up to date on the status. Mike knows a lot about the subject and is very patient in explaining to us that have a lot of questions. Top Notch..highly recommend them. The other guy I called never called me back.

Asbestos can be overwhelming for any homeowner. Michael followed up promptly with my inquire and preformed an inspection that week. He explained the process and continued to stay in touch by phone and email. His crew completed the task within one week of singing the contract. His pricing is fair and his customer service is prompt and honest. I did my research, collect estimates and other quotes came in thousands more. Hopefully I don't have to deal with asbestos abatement again in the future, but if I do i will certainly use Home Town.

Description of Work: I can only say great things about Michael and his son. We were scheduled to have our oil tank removed from under our basement steps. When we removed the decorative panels hiding the oil tank, we discovered a stack of black tiles, and five tiles glued to the floor. I had the tile tested, and sure enough they were asbestos. By the time I received the results, the oil tank was scheduled to be removed the next day. I called Michael around 3:30 in the afternoon, and he was at my house within three hours to see what the project entailed. He arranged his schedule to come early the next morning and remove the tiles before the oil tank removers showed up. His customer service went above and beyond!

I wasn't too happy about having to remove this asbestos, but the people buying my house freaked out when their home inspector discovered a very minor amount of material that was and quot;potentiallyand quot; asbestos. The buyer refused to have a professional confirm if the material was asbestos, so I contacted Mike and he came right out to survey the condition. He was prompt and very flexible with his schedule. He confirmed it was asbestos and provided me a quote to abate the material. Asbestos abatement is not cheap, but Mike's price was very reasonable. Scheduling the work was also very easy and cooperative with my schedule. They completed the work quickly and professionally. They also followed up with the air quality test very soon after. I would recommend Mike and HomeTown insulation for anyone dealing with an asbestos problem.

I did not hire Michael to do any work since he gave honest feedback about the conditions he found in our basement. There were no significant asbestos or mold problems. We will have to replace our existing boilers sometime in the next few years. When we need to do this project, I will certainly give Michael a call about fixing the insulation on the heating pipes. I really do appreciate that Michael spent about one hour at my house but didn't charge me anything for his evaluation of the conditions in our basement. He seemed very knowledgeable about asbestos, mold, and insulation. I would highly recommend Michael to other people because he is an honest contractor.
Description of Work: I called Michael on Monday morning to see if he would come by to see if we had some asbestos in our basement that would need to be removed. He came by on Monday afternoon. While he was in our basement, I also asked if he would let me know if he thought we had any mold problems. After examining our basement for about 45 minutes, he called me down to discuss his findings. The material that we thought might be asbestos was not asbestos. He also said that he only found small amounts of mold that weren't really a cause for concern. If he were not honest, he could have told me otherwise, and I would not have known. He also took the time to show me that the insulation on our heating pipes in the basement was not done very well. The insulation tubes were too large leaving a gap between the pipes and the insulation. Also, there were gaps in the insulation where the pipes connected. Michael advised that at some point we might want to redo the insulation on the pipes to have greater heating efficiency.

Mr. Curran responded quickly to a request for an estimate to remove asbestos wrapping from the heating pipes in my basement. His verbal review was clear and complete. The written proposal was also complete and understandable. A follow up phone conversation answered the few questions I had about the proposal. The proposal was one of two that far exceeded the efforts from others.

Hometown Insulation was extremly professional and had excellent, fast communication. From first contact, everything was done quickly, smoothly, and by the books. The final price was actually slightly lower than the original estimate. I highly recommend.
