I highly recommend that you contact Environmental if you're experiencing any environmental problems. Linda K

We had the worst experience working with this company. The manager, Kevin is a fast talking…read moresalesman and very disrespectful to his staff. As a homeowner, we trusted that they would abate our asbestos safely and follow proper protocol. After they finished the job, our electrician discovered that they left large quantities vermiculite in the attic and wall cavities and purposely stuffed fiberglass insulation over the vermiculite to intentionally hide it from the inspectors. These areas were easily accessible to their workers and could be reached by their equipment (and easily visible to our electrician). They lied and said the vermiculite was removed from these areas. I suspect that his workers had been trained to purposely cut corners to save time and hide their incomplete work. This was a shocking discovery. They put our health and that of our contractors in great jeopardy by leaving this cancerous material so easily accessible. When I called to have them come back to fix the problem and finish the job, fortunately they did return. However, then we had to witness Kevin yell at his workers, blaming and shaming them for the problem. It was completely inappropriate and a bit staged. I will never work with them again, and would never recommend them.

Christopher Maracic came to inspect my apartment as my building has a mold issue. Throughout the…read moreentire inspection I was polite and did not interrupt his work. He appeared to be impatient and was moving a bit too quickly to have done that thorough job. He at one point told me I was 'asking for it' (it being the mold) by not running my AC enough (I have never heard such nonsense and I lived in Washington DC for 7 years, which is extremely humid, and never had a mold problem). When the inspection was complete, I asked if I could have a copy of the results and he says "No." and does not elaborate. When I asked why, he said "you're not the one paying me." He then began to walk out of my home while I was mid sentence, and with his back turned to me attempts to shut the door in my face. While I may not have been "the one paying him," I'm still a customer and you are in my HOME. His behavior was absolutely reprehensible. Also, this came up right away when googling his name.

We put in seven offers before we got the house we did. For each offer, we pre-scheduled an…read moreinspection as proof we were ready to get started. We booked online with Hawkeye. Each time (but the last one, obviously), we had to call them and cancel the visit. Each time they were incredibly easy to reach despite one being at 7pm and another with less than 24 hours of notice! The voices on the end of the phone each time were sweet and caring and offered just the right amount of sympathy for the lost house every time we had to cancel. Finally, we didn't have to cancel! We've had the pleasure of working with Mike and Karen, and we talked to Mark a few times. Mike and Karen did the actual review and we couldn't be happier. They were on time (though we were not...) and immediately got to work taking pictures and taking notes. We had scheduled four hours for the inspection and we used every second. They both showed kindergarten-teacher level patience with us as we followed them around and tripped over our own feet asking questions. They walked us through everything and provided context to their points to make it easy to understand. I feel like I can actually read a boiler now! They answered questions we didn't even know we had. We expected the report the next day, but it arrived at 11:01pm that night. I'm not sure if that's always the case, but our house was in great condition, so there weren't a lot of things to elaborate on, but it was still a thorough 53 pages. Having that report and knowing exactly how each aspect was examined gave us the kind of confidence that we needed to buy our first house. I really can't express how pleased we were with our treatment and you can bet that when we buy our next home, if Hawkeye Home Inspections is still around (only because we don't plan on buying another home for a while), they'll be hearing from us again!

I have tried to work with the dishonest Mr. Male. He refuses to take any responsibility or offer any reasonable remed. He is also refusing to provide license #s. That in itself should tell you what type of business they run. They collect your money, show up and look around like it's an open house showing and then when there are issues they will deny all responsibility. Had they done a thorough inspection we would not be in this position. hell, if Mr Male could find a plumber capable of doing the repair he thinks is needed we would not be in this position.

I needed a home inspection in a pinch (1 week turnaround) and in a new area that I haven't lived…read morebefore. Doing a web search, Metro was one of many home inspection companies that had a straight-forward website and online booking. However, what set Metro apart from the others is that they listed the available days and time slots that they had inspectors available. They even had the name of the most probable (subject to change) inspector to make the appointment. That was important because I knew when the home we were considering was available to be opened, and I could quickly line up a day/time that worked out for both sides. After the appointment was set, I was called by one of the staff. She called to "talk me out of" the radon and pest inspection services (extra charge) because of the type of home and area it was located, those services were not valuable. The cherry on top was that for the month, they were giving a "gold" discount on the overall cost. Inspection went as planned and I received the final report by the end of the same day. I never had to state that I needed a quick turnaround, but I get the sense they knew based on the dates of our real estate transaction. Just superb service, and really made me feel I could not get as good of a service with any of the other inspection companies I was considering. If we ever buy another property in the metro Boston area, I'm using Metro 100%!

He…read morearrived right on time, let me know what to expect during the inspection, and was very knowledgeable and patient with me as I asked plenty of questions. The inspection was very thorough, and Tod took his time to ensure he didn't miss anything that could cause issues down the road.

I highly recommend Tod and his company for your inspection needs and will be using their services again in the future.

Their communication was great, their crew was a well-oiled machine, at no point did I get the impression they were cutting corners on safety, and they left the site spotless. They dealt with a very difficult section of material over a sunroom with no complaints, and they worked well with our neighbors and our shared driveway. My tenants were happy, too. And even though I don't usually go with the low bidder, they were 20% less than the other quote I got and seemed easier to work with. I only wish they did construction, because I'd hire them again in a minute if I had the chance.

I don't have enough words to say how amazing Adrian and his team were. But I'll add one more voice…read moreto 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.
