Some time ago I noticed that my neighbor behind us had a radon mitigation installation on the back…read moreof his house. A few months later, a neighbor across the street from us texted me that he had just done a radon mitigation installation in his house. I bought a radon test kit online, and the it indicated we were just barely over the safe limit for radon exposure, so I didn't do anything about it. Several years went by, and I bought another radon detection kit. Unlike the first one, that only required 3 days of exposure, this one was for several months. The 2nd test showed a slightly higher reading, and the recommendation was that we get the remediation done. I found out from one of our neighbors that the cost for them was $1500. My wife told me one of her good friends had recently done the radon remediation, and I got in touch with her. The price she mentioned was much less than what our neighbor paid, and she was very happy with the work. The company she used was Metro Radon Control of St. Louis. They have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, so I contacted them and spoke with Mark Manfrede. He provided me with a detailed written estimate for $850. This is what impressed me and why i give Metro Radon of St. Louis, and Mark Manfrede my highest recommendation: 1) I started with a personal recommendation from a family friend that has used them. 2) Metro Radon Control of St. Louis has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. 3) Excellent communication. Mark always got back to me in a timely manner. 4) Showed up on time 5) Professional installation, with excellent clean-up afterwards. 6) Fantastic Follow-up to post job problems I should elaborate on what I am referring to by "Post Job Problems." Sometime after I did the first 2 radon tests, and before I hired Metro Radon Control to do the job, I procured a Hound 1085 Radon Detector for long term radon monitoring. Following the radon mediation installation, the Hound 1085 indicated I had radon readings in excess of 6.0. I contacted Mark, and he came out and replaced the fan with a much larger one. Meanwhile, I got a 2nd radon monitor, and it showed readings between 1 and 2. The larger fan, which ran constantly, produced a low hum, that was keeping me up at night because it was installed just outside of my bedroom. Once again I got in touch with Mark, and today he came back (for the 3rd time) and replaced the larger fan with the original fan. I expected him to charge me for the extra trip, but he didn't. I was a property manager for over 30 years, and met my share of contractors that did shoddy work, over-charged, and didn't back up their work. Recently, I met two exceptional contractors, and Mark is one of them. In general, whenever I have a project I get at least 3 bids. I ask for references and/or check out the BBB reports. I don't always go with the lowest bid. The exception to my getting 3 bids is when a personal friend gives me a referral, as in the case of Metro Radon Control of St. Louis. I highly recommend this company and Mark Manfrede for this type of work. Contact Information: Mark Manfrede 314.-681-1822 Metro Radon Control of St. Louis Email: mark@metroradonstl.com

I have been a customer of this company since I moved into my house 17 years ago. I think our…read morerelationship will be ending because I'm moving to Illinois. I will have to confirm. When it comes to reliability and customer service this company is amazing. Every service tech that has come to my home and the young lady that answers the phone all have been amazing. When you schedule service you will get a text confirmation. The nice young lady will call you the day of to remind you and the tech will call when they're on their way. Like I said, reliability and customer service is excellent. I'm deducting one star because there's a man that also answers the phone who needs more customer service training. Each time I have spoken to him I've felt like I'm interrupting his lunch or my questions are below him. There's no compassion in his voice. He speaks very matter-of-factly. When you're having a concern with your heat or air you're most likely already stressed. It sure would be nice to speak to someone who doesn't contribute to your issues. I requested a lien waiver from him last Thursday for work completed and paid for that day. I had to call today, Tuesday, to follow up. The nice young lady emailed it to me within 30 minutes. I hope everyone else is lucky enough to speak to her when they call.

Steve looked over the inspection, caught a few additional issues that the inspector missed, and told us what was and wasn't important for our safety. We had to have our panel upgraded, add a circuit for our dryer, and move our panel about 10' over to comply with Amaren's code. I never felt like he was trying to "create" issues just to make a buck, which is always my biggest fear working with any kind of contractor. Additionally, Steve and Josh were the perfect people to work with and having working on your home. We were at work most of the time, and I never felt uneasy about leaving them at my house for the day to do their job. They were always on time, polite, didn't smoke cigarettes/dip, and I believe they took their shoes off before going into my house because it was muddy outside, and I didn't find any dirt inside! Steve was very quick with responding to e-mails and text messages, and I know how busy things are right now, so it was nice to feel like he wasn't too busy for any of his customers. If anyone has electrical issues, or needs an electrician for anything, Steve's your guy!

Get a second opinion on any major service recommended by this company. We have used them for years…read moreover multiple properties for cleaning and repairs and have always felt we were treated honestly. However it seems something may have changed. On a recent cleaning and inspection the tech reported our fireplace was in dangerous inoperable condition and quoted us an entire tear out and replacement as the only solution other than just decommissioning (north of 10k job). Smelling something was up we sought a second inspection in which the tech found all components to be in fine condition aside from a bent connection near the top that they were able to repair for under $200. Fearful the second tech might have missed something I say with them and reviewed all of the video footage and found most of the components looked almost new aside from the previously mentioned bent connection. I hate to part ways after a single bad experience, but unfortunately my trust in the company is gone.
