The response to queries and overall professionalism were exceptional. I paid for the standard service which can have a five day turnaround but got the results the very next day. This was really helpful since I had contractors coming out in two days so I had the results before they needed to tear out the tiles.

I phoned them and received instructions for how to send them a test sample. I sent them the sample and they sent me the lab results promptly. They were also willing to talk to me on the phone about what my remediation options were.

I had to call to find out what to do after my purchase. I was not sure whether or not they would send me an at-home kit or if I should just send them a sample in my own bag. Directions for Angie's list customers could be more clear, thus the B grade on professionalism. Other than that, I rate an overall A grade since the test results were very clear and received them back very quickly (within one business day) via e-mail. I'm glad I didn't try to remove the popcorn ceiling myself as the test came back positive with 3% asbestos. Don't risk it, take the test to know for sure!

It was fine. I was trying to use a groupon coupon on it and that did not work. They did what they claim to do but I was trying to use a groupon coupon on it and it did not work. They did what they said that they were going to do and did it in a quick time. I did not have trouble with them at all.

I am putting the house up for sale some time and that is one of the 8 pieces disclosure that I wanted to include. I am not about to take it out or cover it up. You can live with it if it is painted and not disturbed. It isn’t even hazardous. I can’t complain about them. I would give them an “A” for price, because I know what it would cost if they came to the house. They had a lot of information that I already knew, but they included it.
Description of Work: Purchased a Big Deal for $35 for Asbestos testing with Microlab Northwest. Actually for $35 you have to take your own samples. I did take my own samples and they within a week or so sent back the results. Unfortunately, not surprisingly, it was 3% asbestos. It is a safer kind. The $35, I can’t remember it that was the total or per sample, Because I had 4 rooms to test and I supposed to take two samples from each room.

The company never called me. I called them to get their contact info. The company only accepts mailed samples, they will test and report on the sample(s) received. The Angies's List ad was misleading as far as scheduling service calls. As of 02/15/2017 service has not been completed.

The report they sent was thorough and communication was great. Turnaround did take about two weeks - but people tend not to be around the last week of August, and I was still more than able to provide my plumber with the analysis before he came to cut into the pipe in question. I was impressed overall and would use them again!
Description of Work: I sent a sample of some pipe insulation to them and they tested it for asbestos fibers under a microscope. None were found! They also gave a helpful report of the composition of the material. Note that this is a shipment service - they don't come to your house, and you can expect to pay postage in addition to the deal cost. They make this fairly clear, and I knew it going in.
