Careless Work After Asbestos Removal -- Damaged My Renovated Home…read more I hired this company for asbestos removal. The ceiling removal and painting were done well, but everything else was handled with no care at all. My home was fully renovated before the project, and now I'm left with damages everywhere. The walls near the ceiling were scratched, and they tried to cover it up with paint that's a different shade of white, which made it even more noticeable. My door is chipped, and they stapled into my wood floors without removing the staples. The bathtub coating is peeling and chipped in multiple spots (see photos). It was in perfect condition before, so it's clear they didn't protect the area during the work. I've already spent 6 hours just touching up the walls, and I still haven't even started fixing the bathtub damage. For a company dealing with something as sensitive as asbestos, I expected professionalism and care -- instead, I'm left with frustration and extra work. I would only recommend this company if you don't care about anything else except the one thing you hired them for. Otherwise, be prepared to spend your own time fixing the mess they leave behind.

We used this certified contractor for abestos removal of the popcorn ceiling in our home built in…read more1969. Kapili Reyes performed the abestos testing and confirmed the presence. We did request estimates from other abatement contractors. Although Kapili did not have the lowest estimate, they were competitive and stayed in close contact with us throughout the entire process before we made our decision. What made them stand out was their genuine concern to help us. We negotiated a fair price that was a "win-win" for both sides. Kapili initially gave us a 4 to 5 day removal time. To our surprise, he and his crew completed the removal in 2 days. We received our clearance by an independent lab after the 2nd day. All in all, we were very pleased with the service provided by Kapili's company. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to test and remove abestos from their home.

My entire living room ceiling collapsed and since the house was built in the 70's, before I had…read moreanyone come in to clean it up, I needed to know if it contained asbestos. One contractor said they could run the test but it would take 3-4 days and cost $500-600. What?! I looked up DIY test kits. Those seem to take weeks and are somewhat unreliable. So I checked for abatement companies and Hawaii Analytical Laboratory popped up in the search. While not an abatement company, they ARE a local, accredited lab that does same-day asbestos testing (among many others) for a very reasonable price. Luckily they were open during the pandemic lockdown and were so very helpful. They explained their prices and what kind of samples to grab. They also suggested putting up plastic sheeting to minimize any disturbance of the area. So I donned my asbestos haz mat mask (yes, I actually have one of those), put my samples in ziploc bags and headed to the lab. The building was unsurprisingly deserted. I expected a tumbleweed to blow by as the theme from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" played in the background. The woman I spoke to on the phone met me at the door. She carefully and patiently explained the entire process to me and she helped me consolidate my mess of ziploc bags into nice, cohesive samples. She explained the options based on how soon I needed the test results. The 1-2 hour being the most expensive and 4-6 hours being the next. I opted for the1-2 hour response so I'd still have some fingernails left, plus an abatement contractor was headed over shortly. And about 1.5 hours later, I got the (unfortunately bad) news. If I hadn't found them, I would have been waiting for days and paid $600. Instead, I had a nearly immediate result for a very small fraction of the cost. And it is a woman-owned company in what I would guess is a male-dominated field. How cool is that? So thank you Hawaii Analytical Laboratory! Service above and beyond!

Alan was super fast in responding to my request for an estimate and came out the very next day! Once he arrived, he immediately investigated the situation and found that the situation was more serious than I initially realized! His investigative skills are top notch and he explained everything down to the littlest detail to make sure I understood why he came to the conclusion he did. In comparison, I had another "big name company" also give an estimate and they were definitely not as efficient and thorough as Alan. I had to tell them what Alan found, which caused them to check and confirm it too! Green Home Solutions provided an excellent estimate and Alan communicated with me throughout the process. Once he arrived, he got straight to work! At the end of the day, he gave me a walkthrough of the work done so far and showed me his findings, which were spot on! As a cherry on top, since I was having other contractors come in, Alan put up a partition to protect my son's room from the drywall dust coming from an adjoining wall. This was totally unexpected and really showed me how Alan cares about his customers. I honestly hope I never need Green Home Solutions' services again, but if I do, I will not hesitate to reach out to them. I highly recommend working with Alan and really do believe that he offers the best mixture of quality, value, and customer service out there.
