I don't have enough words to say how amazing Adrian and his team were. But I'll add one more voice to repeat all the glowing reviews here and on Homeadvisor -- as many others have said, Adrian was timely, communicative, incredibly professional, and all-around pleasant to work with.
We were in the middle of a big renovation and because of our poor planning, we didn't do an asbestos test on our ceilings until after the kitchen had already been half-completed. When the asbestos test came back positive, we put everything on hold and had to scramble to find somebody who could competently remove the popcorn ceilings. Since the popcorn had been sprayed directly onto the concrete ceilings, it would have to be manually scraped off, and the first contractors we interviewed quoted us almost $18000!
Adrian is licensed and after a quick inspection he gave us a very reasonable quote for a third of the price. We checked his license number on the public record of Massachusetts asbestos projects (https://eeaonline.eea.state.ma.us/portal#!/search/asbestos) and everything checked out; he's worked on lots of projects in Massachusetts and his reviews were excellent, so we decided to hire him. Since we were evacuating the apartment anyway, we also asked him to do some odd jobs he was here -- a new paint job, new vent fans and lights for the bathrooms, and repairing some damaged walls. His team did a great job and left the space very clean and looking like new.
During the project he sent regular updates (with pictures!) over text, to let us know how things were progressing. While he was replacing one of the bathroom vents, he found out that there was not enough space in the wall for the new vent we had purchased. He texted me right away and after we discussed a few options, he figured out a way to rearrange things so that the vent would fit in a different spot in the bathroom. In general, it was super easy to get in touch with Adrian if we had any questions or requests -- he responded to texts and emails within a few hours, if not immediately. He was also very prompt in sending all the city paperwork, licensing, and insurance information that the building's homeowner association and management company needed to approve the project.
When my family found out about the asbestos we were incredibly stressed about managing and paying for the abatement, and Adrian really made the entire project as simple as possible. All we had to do was tell him what we needed and he got everything done, within our budget. We evacuated the apartment and came back in a week when Adrian was done, exactly on schedule. All in all Adrian was a pleasure to work with and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anybody looking for a competent, punctual, professional, and reasonably-priced asbestos abatement. read more
