You usually cannot tell just by looking. Asbestos was used in all kinds of building materials before the 1980s, things like floor tiles, pipe and boiler insulation, popcorn and textured ceilings, joint compound, roofing, and siding. The only way to know for certain is to have a sample tested by a certified lab. If you suspect a material, the safest move is to leave it alone and call us to test it.

Cost depends on the size of the area, the type of material, and whether you need testing only or full removal. We provide a clear, upfront estimate after a free on-site assessment. No surprise fees and no middleman markups.

We offer same-day response for assessments across NYC and Long Island. Lab testing results are typically returned quickly, and because we handle removal in-house, we move straight into action once you’re ready.

Absolutely. Our crews follow strict containment, OSHA, and EPA protocols, including sealed work areas and air monitoring. We confirm a safe environment with clearance testing before anyone reoccupies the space.

In most cases, yes. For renovation and demolition work in New York City, the Department of Buildings will not approve your permit until an asbestos inspection, the ACP-5, has been filed, unless your project is specifically exempt. The inspection determines whether asbestos is present. We handle the inspection and the filing for you.

Yes, we do both! A lot of companies handle only one or the other. We are dual licensed by New York State for testing and abatement under one company, so we can find out whether asbestos is present and, if it is, remove it. One call, one licensed team, start to finish.

Many asbestos projects require notifications or permits with local and state authorities. As a NYS-licensed firm, we manage the required filings and code-compliant disposal as part of your project. You don’t have to navigate the paperwork.

If asbestos hasn’t been confirmed, testing first prevents unnecessary work and cost. If you already have a positive result, we can move directly to removal. On a single call, we’ll help you decide which path fits your situation.

Yes. We are NYS licensed, OSHA certified, EPA approved, and recognized by the NY Department of Labor, with over 20 years of experience. We are fully licensed and insured for both testing and abatement work.

It depends on the scope. Lab results from a sample usually come back within a few days. For removal, a small residential job often takes 1-3 days of actual work, though some jobs require a DEP variance first that can add a few weeks before we can start. We give you a clear timeline up front so there are no surprises.

We serve all five boroughs of New York City, Long Island, and the surrounding New York counties, including Westchester, Rockland and Orange County. If you are nearby and not sure whether you fall in our area, just call and ask.
