1. Shady business practices
- Hired Scott Asbestos for mould remediation in the attic. When the treatment was done, their staff left saying everything was done and after 2 days, they called and "recommendation" another mould removal service for $9030.86 saying that there is mould on the insulation and I should have it professionally removed
- I have three other quotes from 3 different mould removal companies and told Scott Asbestos i never received a quote above $3000; they later revised their estimate from $9030.86 to $4888.15
- Frustrated as I was... I later hired a mould specialist (like an inspector), and it turns out the amount of mould in the attic is insignificant, and no action needed to be taken at the moment, and even if I do years down the road, it would not be a $4888.15 bill
2. Professional Service? More like mediocre service
- did they remediate the mould? Yes... BUT I have to fix it again in 2 -3 years; why? Well... the inspector recommended someone else to check their work, and it turns out Scott Asbestos didn't really "remove" the mould... they somewhat killed it with a layer of spray to the attic plywood, and that's it. What needed to be done was... spray to kill the mould, then scrap it off the plywood and treat the wood again for a longer-lasting result. (These are not my words but words from another professional)
Summary of my experience with Scott Asbestos:
- I paid them $2520 to do a mediocre job that I have to fix again in a couple of years, and they also gave me unnecessary stress (it's my first home that i worked very hard to purchase, and they decided to take advantage of me)
- I feel like I was being treated like an idiot... come on... a $9030.86 bill revised to $4888? What is the extra 45% for? Is it girl tax, or do I look stupid enough not to question the estimate?
- You are a terrible representation of people in your field.
