I got the testing done, it came back positive for asbestos. I panicked. I called Pacific Environmental for an estimate on the job. Armando and Arturo came out to assess the job and provide with me with a quote. To my surprise, the price was only slightly higher than the regular remediation company. I was pleasantly surprised by the affordability. Additionally, they promised me the job would be completed in 1 day! WOW! This would be best case scenario. The office staff was also very kind and helpful with prompt estimate and response time. Today was the day of the job, I was very anxious and worried due to the fact that my parent's house is very old. The job supervisor, two workers and Arturo came out to ensure that everything would be okay! They did a superior job, kept everything clean, taped off all areas and did a great job with containment! I am so grateful to the PEAS team, now I can breathe easy and I am so relieved! I highly recommend this company for any abatement project. Great price, great customer service and great quality work! They listened to everything I asked for and delivered above and beyond! Thank you to the entire PEAS team!

As a contractor, I talk to a lot of companies, and it's rare to find someone who combines real…read moreexpertise with total honesty and a genuinely helpful attitude. Dino at Pacific Environment Abatement is exactly that. We're looking at buying a home in Seal Beach (Orange County) with popcorn ceilings, and I wanted to understand the reality of asbestos testing and what the asbestos abatement process would look like if it came back positive. I called Dino expecting a quick, generic pitch. Instead, he took the time to walk me through each step like a professional consultant--what the risks are, what's worth worrying about (and what isn't), the tradeoffs between different approaches, and how to think about the situation before making a decision. What really stood out was how transparent he was. No upsell, no scare tactics, no "you must do this immediately" pressure. Just clear explanations, practical guidance, and the kind of honesty you only get from someone who actually knows the work and genuinely cares about doing right by the customer. His pricing also sounded very fair and reasonable. With just one phone call, Dino saved me time and gave me a great understanding of the abatement process. If we end up needing asbestos testing or asbestos abatement, Dino and Pacific Environment Abatement will be the first and only call. Also worth mentioning: his office staff was incredibly kind and helpful too.

No one ever wants to be told that you have asbestos in your home.

So, what if you could turn to someone trustworthy that would take care of it all and make it OK. What if you could find someone that knew the process, would take care of SCAQMD, remediate the asbestos totally, and leave your home asbestos-free. Well that is exactly the Hazmat Team. From the moment Erik came to provide an estimate, his honesty and professionalism put me at ease. But just to be sure, I got 5 other estimates. While, theirs wasn't the cheapest, this is not a point you necessarily want done cheaply. Nor was it the most expensive...but it was the most thorough of the 6 I received. The the gentlemen that came to perform the abatement, Porfirio and Diego, were wonderful, quick, efficient and thorough in their work. I could not have asked for better people if I had to go out and choose them myself. Erik returned afterwards to inspect and ensure I was satisfied with their work. So, all in all, I am so glad that I chose to go with Hazmat Team. You will not find more honest, trustworthy, and thorough people. You will not be disappointed. Guaranteed!

If you're not, expect lack of communication, any communication is a "miscommunication", and expect a hefty bill with "creative invoicing". I'm all about saving a buck but at the cost of MY premiums & integrity, no thanks. $300 for some friend plumber to create a fake report to send to insurances. INSANE. Never mind the absolute lack of care for your items when they pack them up. I had my succulent plants thrown in with all my jewelry & bathroom items. Absolutely could've and would've love to pack them up myself and put my plants outside if they listened to our request to not start on Friday and to reschedule to Monday. My partner & I were at work as their team entered my home by telling our roommate they were supposed to be there. Ask for an itemized invoice? Crickets. Try to talk about issues? Deflected to the other 3rd company parties they work with while in your house. I asked over and over for an invoice, gave my email multiple times, nothing. Just to get called 4 days before they decided to consider me late by their AR department. 17,000 in 4 days?! (Master bed) Luckily, Zach (their AR team member) was easy to work with and I was able to have an extra week to pull funds. There are so many more details - I will gladly post our text messages and videos (I have cameras in/out). ** Look at EVERYTHING they make you sign, when they hand you an iPad with only a signature window up & they say oh, that's just x document, ask to see that document first. I asked for an estimate over & over to be told they don't do those they just bill your insurance, just to find out I signed some mysterious 20,000 estimate? Absolutely not, especially when they told me it would be around $8,000 if I paid myself and not go through insurance. He explained I was signing a promise to pay if my insurance doesn't cover and a 3 days before quit contract if I change my mind. * An honest company wouldn't remove or report their 1 star reviews for removal - there is a reason they don't want you to see what others are saying.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience…read more What started as a relatively small master bathroom water loss turned into weeks of confusion around billing, scope, and responsibility. Throughout the process, I was repeatedly told different things regarding pricing, insurance, and third-party contractors. After my insurance claim was denied, the pricing discussions changed significantly from what I had been led to expect during the project. The biggest frustration was the lack of transparency surrounding a separate abatement contractor. Their invoice did not surface until after we were already disputing the mitigation bill, and it took numerous conversations to understand who was responsible for what. At various points, we were told the issue would be "taken care of," only to later learn that the contractor was independently owned and billing us directly. The amount of time, effort, and stress required to get clear answers was far beyond what a homeowner should reasonably expect. My advice to anyone considering their services: do not let them pressure you into signing anything, make sure you fully understand every contractor involved, obtain all pricing and responsibilities in writing upfront, and don't rely on verbal assurances when it comes to billing or settlement terms. Get EVERYTHING in writing.

I called them and they got in touch with the general contractor out there right away and showed up on time and on both jobs did a great job. They know what they are doing and they test all their samples. Their prices are super fair and we now need to look no further for another company to do our mold, environmental inspections. I found them on Yelp and they were answered the phone straight away. There are many I have found that are rude and think they are ever so special. Vert is not like that all all. The entire staff is just great. I highly recommend and I have the pickiest client. They never met him. He is super busy. The GC and both us as house mangers do it all and we love our client. You will love these guys.

I would not use this company again…read more Our situation began as a water mitigation claim, which is already stressful for a homeowner, but the process quickly became disorganized. Communication was inconsistent, timelines changed, and we were told at various points that they were waiting on insurance coordination before work would proceed. The company ultimately chose not to complete the remediation, removed their equipment, and then billed for more days than the equipment was actually on site. When I attempted to ask questions and clarify the discrepancies, the interactions were not handled professionally. The verbal communication I experienced felt confrontational and dismissive rather than solution-oriented, which made an already difficult situation much worse. Everything was handled so unprofessionally. Because I needed to move forward with repairs and focus on my family, I paid the invoice to prevent further escalation while still disputing the charges. Homeowners going through a loss need clear information, accurate billing, and respectful communication. Unfortunately, that was not our experience.

What should have been a professional remediation process became an extended and stressful ordeal. Consumers should carefully review the contract before signing. In our experience, the agreement included a provision stating the customer could be responsible for the company's legal fees in the event of a dispute. We strongly encourage anyone considering this company to have the contract independently reviewed and to fully understand all terms. We also experienced aggressive collection tactics during ongoing negotiations, including the filing of a lien against our property. Homeowners should understand the potential consequences of contract disputes before proceeding. We recommend getting multiple bids, keeping all communications in writing, obtaining independent third-party inspections, and reviewing all invoices carefully. If others have had similar unprofessional experiences with this company, we welcome them to contact us privately.

The area behind the shower was saturated with moisture and needed to be properly dried out before the shower could be rebuilt and new valves installed. Carlos Albanez, the project manager, was outstanding to work with. He kept us informed every step of the way, communicated clearly, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The office staff was equally pleasant and efficient, providing all necessary quotes and paperwork promptly. We were working under a very tight time frame, and Restoration Heroes completed the job on time exactly as promised. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and reliability truly stood out. I would highly recommend Restoration Heroes for water, fire, and mold restoration needs and would not hesitate to work with them again.

Took another 3 days for an estimator to come give a quote. Said should have a quote in 3 days. A week later still leaving the tent in my unusable kitchen, where I have a toddler in my house I need to care for, they call and try to make ANOTHER appointment for an estimator to come out to AGAIN to give an estimate to complete the job. Are you kidding, you guys tear my house apart, charge this ridiculous rate for B.S. not necessary work, leave my house torn apart for 2 weeks, and you can't even get your projects straight. Like 5 receptionists called to make an appointment for an estimate already done, and waiting on the quote! This company comes in sells high professionalism and quality work upfront, and their follow through is a joke. Talked to 5 different receptionist just to get one job done and so much confusing back and forth and ultimately them not even completing the job. Before they could even call us again, for the SECOND estimate, we already found other people to complete the job. Still never even received a quote after the first estimate, crazy how these companies operate. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND this SUPER shady company, I don't care how nice your outfits and vans are. This company is literally all over the place...!
