"Multiple Layers" of Deception and Unprofessionalism…read more.. In my correspondence with Gene K., a representative of Scope Environmental (cut and pasted from Yelp chat room) mentions "We can definitely help. Our asbestos inspection, survey, and lab results pricing is very competitive. It's $625 for the inspection and report. Each sample is $35. No other fees. Generally, results and reports will be available within 24-48 hours". Gene K. also mentioned the following "Some samples have multiple layers, and that can not be determined prior to taking the physical sample. You are welcome to call in so that you can properly comprehend the procedures". However, UNDISCLOSED FEES can creep into the price charged to the customer, e.g. such as the need to test "multiple layers" of one material; so, "No other fees" is (deliberately) misleading and therefore, deceptive. A field inspector (Daisy Flamenco) of Scope Environmental, arrived at the project site and upon seeing the area that needed sampling, asked the homeowner for a ladder to get her modest stature to the sampling material areas. When sampling the ceiling, Ms. Flamenco was barely able to reach the sampling surface (needed to be on her tippy toes), even with a step ladder (provided by the homeowner). ALL sample takers must come fully prepared for all conditions at the work site and not rely on the homeowner to provide tools, equipment or assistance of any kind to do THEIR job! Ms. Flamenco was dressed casually, no respirator or other appropriate protective equipment or gear, which is not only hazardous to herself, but sends the message to the homeowner (overseeing the work), that asbestos is really not that harmful. Even two and a half years following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is appropriate if all workers who enter a home, to wear a mask or at least offer to wear one, but Ms. Flamenco failed to show the occupants of the residence, such consideration. Most (professional) people return to bad pre-pandemic habits, even if to protect the home's occupants from the common cold. What is really inconsiderate and unprofessional, is that Ms. Flamenco had disturbed suspected asbestos containing materials by scraping and cutting away material from parts of a furnace and its ducts, leaving the furnace and ducts out-of-order, i.e. if no asbestos or other harmful materials were found, the furnace and ducts could not be safely and effectively used without first repairing them. Leaving carcinogenic materials exposed (cutting, scraping or otherwise removing and exposing asbestos) to those who live at the work site, is hazardous and unprofessional and should never be done this way. Exposing harmful materials puts people and animals at risk of exposure to carcinogens and asbestosis causing particles! Asbestos sample takers should take measures to seal or otherwise cover, exposed asbestos containing materials (when they are through sampling them), to protect home occupants. This experience was a wake-up call to how incompetent workers can make a bad situation, worse!

After my plumber discovered extensive sewage leakage beneath my house, we needed immediate cleanup…read morebefore any repair work could begin. We contacted Scope Environmental because they specialize in a wide range of services, including sewage and mold remediation. Veronika was courteous, highly responsive, and scheduled a team to come out the same day. Peter and his crew were professional, efficient, and thorough. They quickly extracted the standing water, debris, and sewage, then applied absorbent materials to the wet areas to remove moisture. They also installed heaters and drying equipment to prevent further damage. I appreciated that they returned over the following days to monitor progress and ensure everything was drying properly. Their support during such a stressful situation made a world of difference. I highly recommend this reliable, family-owned company for anyone needing this kind of emergency cleanup services.

Scheduling was smooth and they showed up exactly when they said they would. Pricing was fair and clearly explained upfront -- no surprises, no pressure. They communicated every step of the way, so I always knew what was happening and what to expect next. What really stood out was the human side of their work. They understood that this wasn't just a job site -- it was someone's home and a difficult time for the family. They treated it that way. They also took the time to educate me about the specific issues that come with an unattended death situation, which helped me make informed decisions and gave me real peace of mind. The work itself was thorough and professional. If you're facing one of these situations -- and nobody plans to be -- Bio SoCal is exactly who you want in your corner. Highly recommend without reservation.

In this case: Look no further.

If you want water damage resolved quickly, they are what you are looking for. They were not the cheapest quote but they were the fastest. I got quotes from other places that included drywall repair but they were a few days out. So I decided to go with Green Planet because they could start immediately. The only thing was that their quote didn't include drywall repair. I was told it's another dept and I would need to get a quote or I can find my own handyman. Ok how much can it be? Well after the water damage was resolved, I started getting quotes for drywall repair. I found out it was very expensive. In fact, well past the quote from the other places that included drywall repair. If I were to do it again, I would get quotes for the complete work so I can compare apples to apples.

Absolute Maintenance and Consulting is absolutely a 5-Star company. From my initial contact with…read moreDaisy in the office, to the workers, to the supervisors (Evan for the waterproofing of our roof and removal of damaged drywall, and Frankie, for the interior finishing), to the owners of the company, we knew we were in good hands. We had a giant, colossal leak in our ceiling when it rained last winter. Absolute Maintenance performed a detailed and technical evaluation to determine the exact causes and locations of our leaks. We were surprised to find that our chimney was one of the sources! Then they waterproofed our entire roof and HVAC system which is on our roof. Both have been a source of leaks for several years, and we had never been able to find the root causes of all that! Finally, they set up a carefully sealed area to remove damaged drywall, do mold remediation and reconstruction.b In doing all of this, they found rotting wood that had undoubtedly been there for several years! The very next day, they had the rotting 2'x 4's removed and replaced! That was amazing! After that, they installed new drywall and painted the entire room and ceiling. All of this huge job was done by them, without the need to find other contractors. Not only that, they are for sure, the most tidy and neat workers we have ever had in our house. They honestly left our living room in better shape than they found it! The best part about this company was their communication. The day I called them, Daisy was able to explain their scope of practice in detail and tell me if they would be able to help us. She continued to find answers for me whenever I had a question throughout the job, even staying late at the office until she had an answer for me! Evan was great at communication, also. Every single day that they worked, he told me exactly what they would be doing. Frankie did the same, keeping me apprised of what they were doing and always when they would be finished. The owners gave us a detailed evaluation of our problem and a very detailed estimate, including costs for unforeseen problems. This helped us immensely in budgeting for this job, but they were very reasonable and this cost us far less than we expected. Also, we can't put a price on knowing that the job was done right and that we finally have long lasting and guaranteed solutions for our leaking ceiling! In summary, this was an exemplary company. Their 37 years of experience may be one of the reasons for that! I would recommend them without hesitation!
