We had to rehire another
Description of Work: They never got a hold of us. We had to call them after waiting a few days to hear from them. Then we were told that we had to take the samples ourselves Not having a clue of what we were doing. We were tolls we'd get the results in 2-4 days. After 14 days we called them , and a print out was emailed to us. It was not acceptable by our insurance and was told that a report was needed. When we called the lab back to tell them that we needed a report they told us we needed to redo the test and this time we had to take pictures of where each sample came from with the dates and times.. a $35 coupon ended up costing 145 yet they told us we would have to pay it over again for a second reading if we wanted a more formal report.... We ended up hiring someone else that would come out and do the work that we needed done properly.

Description of Work: this service worked exactly as promised: we sent in some samples taken by lifting dust w a strip of paint; they told us the composition of the samples. In our case it confirmed that we had a small patch of asbestos tape remaining in our basement, which we then paid another vendor to remove. This straightforward service saved us a few hundred dollars. Highly recommend.

Even though they originally said I was out of their area, I was able to just mail the samples to them, they tested them and sent the results quickly by email. All worked well.

I called them twice after I received the results and they were super helpful in answering my questions and going into details plus giving me directions on what I need to do for inspecting other hazardous material or mold in my house. I talked to their specialist on the issue and he spend a good deal of time to understand the issues at my house and provided helpful suggestions. He understood my concerns and in the meanwhile he was making sure that I don't rush to order further unnecessary tests that would only cost me money. Therefore, he instructed me to do some initial tests including humidity test in the house using a reasonably priced off-the-shelf equipment before paying them money to do a professional test. I really enjoyed they professionalism and I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs their service.
Description of Work: I used Microlab NW for testing samples from a popcorn ceiling for Asbestos and I received the results within a day. Super fast turn over and very professional.

"A house I'm remodeling, built 1964, had pop corn ceilings. Also, had 3 layers of vinyl in the kitchen, which had to be removed. I went to their website, followed their instructions. Per their instructions I took one floor sample. For the pop corn ceiling sample, they wanted 3 scrapings from 3 different areas or rooms. I packaged them up, and took it to their lab (home). There's a sign in the flower bed, and there is a drop off box by the front door. They had a form to fill out, then drop the sample into the box. I was not in that big of hurry, so requested the 5-day turn around, which was cheaper than the 24 hour service. 3-4 days later, I received an email with the results. Pretty easy and painless.

I left the samples in the drop box and requested 24-hr turnaround ($35). They called me that same day to discuss the results, and I got the report in my e-mail the following day. This is a home business with a drop box for samples. Don't let that deter you -- they are quick, and the most inexpensive option around. Before taking the samples to Microlab NW, I had gone to another testing lab in Bellevue, and they wanted $85 for one sample, $150+ for three! Microlab, by contrast, charges only $35 for three samples... much more reasonable. The instructions for taking samples of popcorn ceilings, labeling them, and sending them in, are listed on their web site. I would highly recommend this company for quick turnaround of asbestos tests at a good price.
Description of Work: I brought in popcorn ceiling samples to have them tested for asbestos content. This is a testing lab, not a removal contractor.
