    Better Late Than Never...I'll start by saying that in the history of positive reviews being long…read moreoverdue, this one should take the cake. Once upon a time (some 5 years ago) in the attic of a house in Southern California, asbestos contamination reared its ugly head - thus beginning our abatement saga. It all began one day with an innocuous visit from an AC company. The service person went into the attic for a routine inspection of the unit, and came down with the surprising announcement of having found a crushed air duct. This report was concerning since the old ducts were in some measure, comprised of asbestos material. Apparently, a worker in the past must have stepped on the duct and decided not to report the damage to us. Consequently, there's no telling how long potentially contaminated air was being blown through a compromised duct, exposing us to asbestos fibers. We were advised to not use the unit, and immediately contact an asbestos abatement company to remove the crushed duct. I'd seen and heard reports of people dealing with the nightmare of asbestos contamination, but now it was our turn. So what to do, where to start? The AC rep suggested a friend of his who ran an abatement company (which shall remain nameless), so I gave them a call, and spoke at length with a high-ranking person at the company, who assured me his team would do a professional and careful job of removing the damaged duct, along with replacing the other old ducts as well. Being wary of the risk of things going wrong, I hired a plumber I trusted (who'd previously re-piped the house) to be in the attic and videotape the abatement procedure. About a half an hour in, the plumber came down with an alarming report that the workers were failing to thoroughly wet down the ducts before crushing them and were recklessly stuffing them into plastic bags - causing plumes of dust and fibers to fill the attic space. He advised me to immediately cancel the "abatement" and hire an independent asbestos inspector to determine the extent of widespread contamination of not only the attic, but the master bedroom below - in which the "clean room" was set up. As we reviewed the video tape together, it was obvious the whole procedure was being improperly run. Where there should've been at least two clean room chambers, there was only one. Also, it was a windy day, and the crew had left the front door open, along with a window in the master bedroom, in which the clean room was set up - thereby allowing uncontrolled currents of air into the house during the abatement procedure. I called the company owner and told him my concerns about how the operation was being run, and that I wanted the procedure to stop immediately. The next week, I hired an independent company to take test samples in the attic and master bedroom - and the results were concerning. Not only did the inspector find asbestos fibers in the dust that now coated all the attic beams, he actually found a coal-sized chunk or two of asbestos on top of the furnace cabinet grate. After I provided the positive test results to the negligent abatement company, they refused to accept liability - even though I had irrefutable proof of their negligence on video tape. Had I wanted to take them to court, it would likely have been an open and shut case, since not only did I have an eyewitness with the plumber in the attic, but more importantly, a "see it with your own eyes" witness in the video he shot. But since I was dealing with an aging parent on hospice care, my main objective was just to make the house safe again as soon as possible, and avoid simultaneously dealing with the double-nightmare of litigation. Enter Fresh Air to the rescue! My first contact with the company was Erin McConnell. She listened patiently and responded with empathy, as I gave her the details of the nasty situation we were dealing with. I mentioned to her of having earlier contacted an independent remediation specialist, named Frank (whom Erin had worked with before), and she assured me of his professionalism in overseeing a Procedure Five abatement operation. Frank took samples in the attic and elsewhere in the house, to determine the degree of contamination. He said we'd need to evacuate the premises for two weeks while the abatement was taking place. He took air and surface samples to monitor progress of the abatement and reported the results to me each day. Though there were some setbacks, I credit Erin - with her pleasant and assuring demeanor, for keeping things on track and for mediating to completion, a successful abatement procedure - they just don't come any nicer than Erin McConnell - or companies more professional, than Fresh Air. So if you find yourself dealing with your own personal nightmare involving some nefarious form of contamination - be it asbestos, mold or whatever - then I highly recommend reaching out to the good folks at Fresh Air to help make your living space safe again.

    I really hate leaving a negative follow-up review, mainly because Fresh Air did my original…read moreasbestos duct removal about 9 years ago, and they did fantastic work. I always said I'd bring them back for the next phase of the project--life just moved slowly, and here we are almost a decade later. I reached out again recently, and unfortunately, the experience wasn't the same. It took about three days to get a call back, which I didn't mind because of the excellent service I'd had in the past. The rep came out, I showed him the areas I needed removed, and we had a good conversation. He gave solid advice and said he'd send over a quote. Three days later, I texted to follow up--to check whether the quote had been sent or had gone to the wrong email. I never received a response. It's now been 3-4 months without any communication. Honestly, he could have reached back out to me and told me the job was too small, or that they weren't willing to take it on. Any form of return communication is always better than no communication. At this point, I'll have to take my (admittedly small) job elsewhere. I'm genuinely disappointed because I was looking forward to working with them again, but the lack of follow-up left me stuck. I wish my experience this time matched the first one, but I wanted to share an honest update for anyone considering long-term work or multiple phases.

When I wanted some testing done, the deceptive thing they said was that I can do multiple tests for one price. So I clarified that if I were to test 3 rooms, it'd be the same price as 5 rooms and they said yes. So I literally said to the representative " so whether I test 1 room or 5 rooms, it's one price and she confirmed yes. Lo and behold I get slapped with a charge 5 different rooms. Well I called to clarify, they told me it was one price but per room. I was frustrated because that was my default assumption. It's like going to a restaurant and ordering something and the server says "all pastas are for one price whether you get 1 or 10, it's all one price" and you order 4 pastas for the family and 4 more to go to take home and they slap you with a bill for 8 pastas and tell you it's one price but for each pasta. Well duh! That's everyone's default assumption. You making that qualifying statement serves to confuse the customer. It feels like a deceptive tactic to make it seem like all tests are for one price in order to bait you into more tests. It left a bad taste in my mouth honestly. That being said, the worker was nice and the job was done which why I can average out the score to 3 stars. Would I use them again.... Maybe, but I may shop around a little more.

Good communication and quick scheduling. I was able to have a technician come out the same day I called to schedule. The technician was extremely friendly and helpful. He answered all my questions while he was concentrating on the testing, set up etc. He was careful with his words meaning he didn't cause any unnecessary stress or anxiety. He wasn't pushy and was conscious of the cost while also recommending what samples are needed or suggested. He was clean and careful. Cons: Expensive compared to other mold testing companies. The invoice can quickly add up. I originally planned for about $800 ($500 base fee plus $75 for 4 samples). I added on asbestos test and that brought my bill to over $1300. In some ways I see this as a positive though because you get what you pay for (I hope and can't compare to any other company). My whole house wasn't moisture mapped as I was told it would be. The tech said they only focus on the reported areas of concern. Not a big deal but would've been nice to know. I kept getting rescheduled by 15 minutes. The tech was running late then running early so that was a little confusing. I jokingly asked them if I get compensation for the changed appt time since I signed the contract already (they charge $150 for any changes). They said no. The report is a bit confusing as it was the first time. The most annoying is that in the asbestos report they suggested further testing. Likely costing another $1000 or more. I thought I was already paying for the best testing. This feels a bit like a trick in some ways. Overall I'd go to JLM again. I suggest to do some research beforehand though to know exactly what you need done (AND WHY meaning are you renovating or just wanting to know for health reasons etc) so you don't get unneeded tests or costs.

After they started the job it was discovered that they were unqualified to remove the ductwork and insulation properly. I wasn't aware that houses built in the 1960's used asbestos and throughout the house. The asbestos needed to be properly removed before any repair work could be performed. However the company gave me the impression that they were skilled and licensed to perform the removal. It was never mentioned to me that specific steps needed to be taken when dealing with asbestos. While removing the damaged ductwork they disturbed the asbestos thus making the house uninhabitable. Tony's company was brought in to perform the test for the asbestos. Asbestos was detected. Tony was very professional and helpful to explain the situation and provided information of what the next step entailed to resolve this matter. The testing report and procedure 5 plan was prepared by Titan. The report and work plan needed to be submitted to the SCAQMD for approval. His knowledge regarding this matter was absolutely first rate. He helped guide me through this difficult process. I would highly recommend employing Tony's expertise if you are ever get involved with this situation. You will be in good hands.

Best of all, the total price ARG charged to tear out the affected areas, treat the mold, and fully restore my bedroom was the same amount another company quoted me just for mold treatment.

The first initial call was great and fast. As the work began, delays started coming up in almost every single process. Before the work began, I mentioned there was a small section of pipe that needed to be redone, and he agreed to do it. As the repair progressed, he didn't address the pipe, and kept telling me someone would be back to do it later on. Work began January 2026, and it is now almost May. Rafael has become super unresponsive, kept scheduling with no shows, and pushing back the repair. Then he just stopped responding altogether. Up to this point the repair still has not been done. ARG Service with Rafael was with an insurance claim. It seems to me like they just don't reply after getting paid. Very unprofessional and irresponsible. I want to recommend ARG and Rafael, but this experience has been frustrating and disappointing
