I think my job was too small for this company too. Not only was their estimate more than 3 times the others we received but Kevin was extremely rude on the phone. Avoid. I notice the other people who were treated rudely were women as well. read more

If you were referred to Nielsen Environmental like I was, Kevin will read your inquiry and will straight up ignore it. Incredibly rude when I called to follow up and said the job was too small. Then say so instead of ignoring the inquiry?! Don't bother contacting this company. read more

You got to slow down the owner who is meticulous in detail but fuzzy in overall info.

I am incredibly surprised to see so many reviews for this company stating they were provided great customer service. I called today seeking information in connection with a window replacement project after a positive asbestos test, and Kevin was extremely rude and unprofessional. He would not allow me to finish my sentences since the beginning of the call, rudely saying "stop" multiple times (so much my husband wanted to hang up the phone after the first few seconds), then proceeded to suggest we keep testing until finding a sample below the threshold and, finally, said he was too busy to deal with me. As a prospective customer and a woman, I felt deeply disrespected and goes without saying, I would never willingly do business with him. read more

Kevin is the owner of this company and he is wonderful. I had some serious concerns about asbestos, mold, and lead exposure in a home in the Los Angeles area and he was amazingly helpful in walking me through the process of testing and remediation. He is very knowledgable and honest. read more

Kevin was extremely helpful and informative when I called to inquire about asbestos testing and possible treatment. He referred me to an asbestos testing company and even though I didn't know if I had a true asbestos problem on my hands yet, Kevin took time to explain to me the process and offer his expert opinion. It's very hard to find people who are willing to be helpful and share knowledge. Luckily for me, I didn't need abatement but if I'll be keeping Nielsen Environmental for any future needs! read more

although we weren't in need of any remediation services, this company guided us in the right direction. they took time despite not standing to gain anything. extremely professional!!!! read more

*****5 STARS***** VERY WELL DESERVED I cannot recommend Kevin and the crew a Nielsen Environmental enough. Everything about the process was seemless and easy. From the quick call back to a honest/fair estimate, I couldn't have asked for a more stress free experience. Kevin literally brought in a small army on short notice to clear my popcorn ceilings in 1 day. Throughout the day, Kevin and Javier kept me posted on the progress and even texted me pictures. It was fun to see it come together! Oh and they left my place spotless! :) Thanks so much! read more

Called him, told him what was going on, and truly helped me out. Really appreciate knowledge and work.

Kevin and his team were excellent! He's very professional and efficient. We had to remove popcorn ceiling in the living room, hallway and over the closets in multiple rooms. Kevin came in the morning with his team and left around noon. Amazing. Him and his team communicated well about the process and then walked through to inspect with me. If you're looking for a professional for environmental abatement services, I would highly recommend Kevin and his team! read more

We had to remove 1400 sqft worth of Asbestos from our home which consisted of interior and exterior popcorn acoustic ceilings, acoustic walls, AC ducts and water heater vents. As we had quite a bit of square footage to remove, Kevin (owner) gave us a deal on the entire removal project and got all the work done in a day. He brought in a crew of about 7-8 people who all worked swiftly and diligently. We were asked to get all the furniture out of the rooms that will be worked on as they would be taping the entire room with plaster so that non of the Asbestos gets on. I didn't realize the extent of prep work was involved. They taped almost the whole house off like the scene from 'ET'. The prepping took a good solid 4-5 hours. For extra payment, Kevin's team also took out some of the unwanted wall cabinets that were stuck on the wall with asbestos. Be the time they were finished it was about 10pm. They started at 8am so Total 14 hours. All the waste was properly exposed by them except for some of the materials that involved demolition. All the demolition materials were left for us in bags for us to easily dump out. After everything had been scraped off they wiped all the floors down and moved some of the heavy furniture back into the house for us. Definitely recommend Kevin's services if you have a big project that involved asbestos removal. Now our house is asbestos free and ready for renovation. read more

Kevin and his team did an amazing job at our house. We had to have some ductwork removed that had asbestos and from our initial call to the completion of our project, their team was top notch. Kevin was super responsive, trustworthy, friendly, professional, and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend Kevin and his team. read more

We needed to remove asbestos shingles on our roof in Sherman Oaks. Kevin and his team were professional, responsive and trustworthy. They walked me through everything they were doing and answered all of my questions. HUGE shoutout to Jaime (Haime), the lead crew member. We had an unrelated plumbing leak while they were here and Jaime jumped into action and really helped me avoid a terrible situation. He did so without asking for anything in return. They just want you to be happy with their work, which is much appreciated. I would definitely recommend them! read more

We all know how hard it is to find someone reliable and quick. I had such an amazing experience with this company. Kevin responded with the quote within minutes and came to complete the job the next day. I was very impressed with his professionalism, punctuality, and business ethics. I will definitely use him in the future and will recommend him to everyone I know! read more

Kevin is beyond great - literally can't even describe how wonderful him and his team are. They're honest, hardworking, take pride in their work & will make sure things are done correctly. All things you want from a contractor who is removing hazardous waste. Above all, Kevin is trustworthy and is a man of integrity. It was a joy to work with him & his team. read more

Kevin and his team at Nielsen Environmental did a fantastic job of asbestos abatement at our condo. They were very reasonably priced, quick and efficient without sacrificing quality. I've heard of horror stories of popcorn removal and was told that Kevin was the best in the business and now I can attest to that! read more

Kevin is all around a great professional - he is always on time, his quotes are "down to a tee" and also quite competitive. I would hire him for the next project any time. read more

After tearing up half of a room of old linoleum floor in our 1935 house before even considering the possibility of asbestos, I was truly panicked. Thankfully our asbestos tests were negative, but I want to thank Kevin for spending about 10 min on the phone with me explaining what the next steps in asbestos removal would be, possible costs, and reassuring me that my potential exposure was minimal. It's unlikely that my project would have been large enough for Nielsen's services had we needed asbestos removal, which really goes to show how much Kevin and his team value customer service. In a very frantic 48 hours of worrying, waiting and a few tears, I really appreciated the guidance! Thank you so much. read more

Kevin (owner/operator) was a pleasure to deal with. He picked up on the first call, provided a fair estimate, sheduled the job, came on time and did the job the right way. Kevin and his team went above and beyond what he was contracted to do and we were thrilled with the result. Would highly recommend using Nielsen based on my experience. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Nielsen Enviromental. Literally within a day of contact he was at our new house removing all the popcorn ceilings and getting all the aspestos out of our home. Easy to talk to over text/phone. Easy to get ahold of. Fair prices. Excellent service. Extremely neat. Removed all of our old light fixtures as well. Couldn't be happier with his work! Highly recomend. read more

Kevin and his team did an exceptional job removing my asbestos and were an absolute pleasure to work with! Asbestos is scary and I was totally overwhelmed when I learned that I had it and needed to remove it. When I called Nielson Environmental, Kevin answered the phone, provided a quote based on the report I had and came out the next day with his crew. They went above and beyond the scope of what we initially discussed and yet didn't charge me extra. They did a beautifully thorough job cleaning up the asbestos and putting my mind at ease about the safety of my home. I absolutely recommend Nielson!! read more

LIFESAVER!!!! A month ago asbestos was found in my rental property and so I began down the not-fun road of stressing, researching and meeting abatement professionals. I'm sad to say it was a disappointing experience. A lot of the companies I spoke to or met with never followed up, tried to convince me to do other (more expensive) work because they didn't believe there was espestos or just never showed up. Then I met Kevin. Kevin immediately put me at ease and from early on it was obvious he knew his stuff. He was efficient, affordable and never stopped checking in with me and reassuring me along the way. Side note-my Dad always said he tended to favor service professionals with a good truck. He figured if they took pride in their truck, they would take pride in their work. Well dear old Dad was right AGAIN. Kevin showed up in a clean-as-a-whistle truck and with his undeniably professional bright neon t-shirt and I breathed a sigh of relief before he even spoke a word. Once I hired him he checked in repeatedly and always made me feel calm and that "we were going to figure this out". He got the job done in a flash and when he was completed the job site was spotless. He provided clear pictures over text and day to day updates. I just can't say enough, thank you Kevin so much!!! Stop looking and hire him now! read more

Kevin and his team were incredibly professional, knowledgeable about hazardous waste, fast and well priced. I received 3 quotes and his was the most reasonable, convenient and no nonsense. You can easily get convinced to spend far more for abatement due to the fear of dealing with a potential health hazard. What I got from Kevin was confidence and expedience in execution and value. I had some questions after he did the job and he came back to my home an did a follow-up - he will go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied with his work! I feel very fortunate to have had Nielsen Environmental abate our home and I am certain you will as well. read more

We found out our roof had asbestos in it and after calling several companies and getting three different quotes, Kevin was not only the best priced, but also the most reliable. He answered all of my questions and was able to schedule us as soon as we made the decision to move forward. Would definitely use him again if we ever come across asbestos again. Thanks Kevin! read more

Kevin and his team are awesome! Initially, we contracted Nielsen Environmental to remove some old furnace equipment and air ducts that contained asbestos from the home we had just purchased. That same day, Kevin confirmed our suspicion that all four bedrooms had an old tile w/mastic that also contained asbestos. Kevin and his crew took care of the job like the true professional's they are! They got both jobs done at a reasonable price, their cleanliness says alot about them. Thank you, Kevin!!! read more

What a pleasant experince. Kevin and his guys show so much professionalism I have never dealt with such an honest company, great service and great team. The job was done on time, Kevin was at my house on time, not a minute before not a minute over. They removed some asbestos from my home and they left the house super clean you would not notice they even worked at your place. I would recommend this company in a heart bit. Talk about customer service. You won't regret it Kevin thanks for everything. read more

I'm a general contractor. I've been through a lot of abatement companies. I have to say I've finally found the company that I will use for any project I need for abatement for asbestos, Lead & Mold. I've had him on 2 projects already and there is nothing I can say bad about the way the projects went. and I'm a Picky person. Kevin and his crew are amazing. Kevin's communication is extremely professional. answers every phone call or text within minutes. he's hit his timeframe of completion, if not faster. blows me away. his prices are extremely fair. I can go on and on. I'm speechless at this point. if there was a 6th star, he earned it. Thank you Kevin for your excellent Service. you'll be hearing from me again in the near future, and will definitely be giving your information to other contractors. read more

Kevin Nielsen did an awesome job removing an asbestos pipe from our attic, and had the job done within two hours of my call! Very professional, so nice, and great pricing. I highly recommend him!! read more

Kevin was great! He's easy to talk to, explains the options well and really knows his craft. He put me at ease with the whole process and was very professional. He arrived early to take out my original 1930-ish (asbestos wrapped) heating ducts from under the house. He was quick, efficient and did a great job. Super diligent in masking and clean up. He showed me the before and after pictures, and he even picked up some extra trash that was left under the house from who knows what. Kevin went above and beyond. Highly recommend. This is my first yelp review, just thought it was important to get the info out there. I have had a bunch of folks working at my house (plumbers, electricians, etc) and Kevin is the first who was knowledgeable, experienced and just plain kind. A most welcome rarity. read more

Kevin and his team did an excellent job. They took all the worry out of the process. Kevin was able to schedule us quickly and executed the job beautifully. They were polite fast and thorough. They did a excellent clean up. They are total pros. I understand now why they have such good reviews. Thank you Kevin! read more

I had some suspected asbestos in the attic of my old house, and had Kevin Nielsen come out and do testing and then later he did the remediation. He may not offer the lowest bid, but his firm was the most professional about how they would approach the removal process, and used caution when taking out the materials.They even left my attic cleaner than it had been before the asbestos was taken out - I couldn't really ask for more! read more

Kevin Nielsen is a true professional. I reached out to five companies (some referrals and other through Yelp reviews) to remove approximately 2,100 sf of popcorn off of the ceilings of my new home. Out of the five, only four companies returned my calls. Out of those four, only three even sent me quotes. Out of the three, Nielsen Environmental had the best responsiveness (to both email and phone), best rate, best availability and best turnaround time. I called Kevin on a Monday and emailed him the results of the asbestos testing that had already been done, received a quote Monday night, gave him the thumbs up on Tuesday and signed the contract and met him in person by Wednesday. The other two companies quoted me 4-5 days and 7 days for a job that took Kevin and his crew 1.5 days to complete. Everyone was incredibly nice and hard working and the place was left very clean when they left. Very glad to have found Nielsen Environmental. read more

We had Kevin and Team remove about 600sf of popcorn ceiling that was tested with asbestos, they also removed 2 transite pipes, and did demo work on our duplex remodel project. We were happy with Kevin's attitude and professionalism, fast service and solid work -- everything surface was handled with care. Thank you Kevin! read more

Kevin and his team were extremely knowledgeable and professional from start to finish. He answered all my questions thoroughly. They were on-time and worked hard to remove a 2+ story external asbestos pipe. They took all the debris away and made sure we understood the scope of the project. In our case, we didn't have any additional debris clean up so the price was as quoted. He also sent a certificate of completion and disposal manifest. I would definitely hire them again for any additional work needed! read more

Kevin is great! Hired Kevin and his crew to remove asbestos popcorn ceilings. Reached out to him on a Thursday night - work completed by 5pm Monday. He is attentive, experienced, a true problem solver, anticipates our needs and a pleasure to work with. As first time home buyers, he understood the urgency to get work done so we can move in as soon as possible. Great guy. 100% recommend. read more

I highly recommend Kevin Nielsen of Nielsen Environmental! I was in the middle of a bathroom remodel when my Contractor suspected there was asbestos underneath the floor. My Contractor called Nielsen Environmental who came out here in a pinch at 7am to take care of the asbestos abatement. Kevin is simply great to work with. He's reliable, trustworthy, and was respectful of my home. His crew cleaned everything up spotless. The minute you meet him, you'll know you are in great hands. Highly recommend him read more

I used Nielsen Environmental for my Malibu condo to remove some asbestos from the ceiling that one of my tenants had been exposed to from a leak in the ceiling. Kevin showed up with a small army of men and provided all the necessary notifications and equipment to complete the job including a smooth skim coat over the ceiling and paint. In addition Nielsen also went out of the way to hang a light fixture in the dining room for me at no charge. I would recommend Nielsen Environmental to use if you need asbestos removed he really knows his business. read more

I am in the process of fixing up one of my properties and found out that one of the rooms had asbestos tiles in it that I wanted to remove. I have no experience with asbestos, so I got on the internet and did a lot of research.I found out that one should be very experienced in dealing with it to avoid any health problems. Having to deal with asbestos is bad enough, but compounding the problem is the fact that it is very hard to find an honest abatement company. Most of the companies I called were trying to sell me on a lot of services that I did not need, nor want. They wanted crazy money for their work! After weeks of countless frustrating calls, a good friend of mine, who is a contractor, referred me to Kevin, at Nielsen Environmental. I called him on a Friday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by his no nonsense honest demeanor. Kevin was very polite, to the point, and I could tell, very experienced. He quoted me a price to do the job which was considerably less than what I had been quoted by others. And, he followed right up with an email proposal. Kevin showed up Monday morning at 7:50 and he finished the job that day! He did a fantastic job, at a very reasonable price, and I can't recommend Kevin enough! Thank you Kevin! read more
