We recently moved in and just gotten our asbestos results and wanted to get to abatement ASAP. We had Marc who was extremely thorough and helped us understand the process. He was also very accessible as we were able to call and text him if we had any questions. There was an error on our invoice and he corrected it quickly. The abatement team came quickly and were able to remove drywall from our master bedroom, hallway, popcorn ceiling for 2 rooms, and guest bathroom. We were able to add on removal of old cabinets and a fan to ensure there was no asbestos left. Overall they did it very efficiently and safely which I appreciated. The one con I have to mention was when they removed the ceilings fan they misplaced some of the attachments needed to hook the ceiling fan up. We didn't move anything so when we went to assemble it the piece was missing and we needed to buy extra. A lot of the closets and screws they detached were also not organized so it's been difficult assembling our stuff again. They did the job fast and well but I would recommend they organize items they detached better. We still have a few spots to remove asbestos but would consider them again. read more

The job was done beyond excellent, Carlo was very thorough and completed the job within few hours. excellent costumer service overall. I will definitely recommend San Diego Abatement Services. Most importantly, let's support our local businesses. read more

I hired San Diego Abatement Services to handle the asbestos abatement in my home, specifically removing old acoustic ceiling material and floor tiles. From the start, communication was clear and straightforward. Gabriel explained the abatement process and what to expect in terms of timeline. The crew arrived on time everyday and was very friendly. I was especially impressed with how respectful they were of my home. Everything was left spotless clean when they finished. While abatement isn't exactly a fun process to go through, they made it as stress-free as I could have hoped. Pricing was competitive with the other bids I received and I felt confident in their work throughout the process. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing asbestos removal done right. read more

These guys do such great work! We have used them many times and no matter the job, when completed you wouldn't even know they were there. Efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, and they follow all of the guidelines and requirements of their given tasks; be it lead, asbestos, or mold, they follow the state and federal guidelines to a T. I can't recommend them more highly! If you have an abatement issue there is only one choice: San Diego Abatement Services. read more

Last year I hired a different abatement company to remove some asbestos-containing drywall in my house and they didn't follow industry protocol and ended up spreading asbestos all throughout the entire home. It was such a nightmare. Shawn and Gabriel came to my home to assess the damage and were incredibly helpful in every way.  When San Diego Abatement did the asbestos cleanup, Alfonzo was so communicative, answered all of my questions and walked me through the process so that I would feel comfortable. The work they did was spotless. I'm attaching a couple of comparison pics of how San Diego Abatement's work compared to the other company.  I'm so thankful for SDAS and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone and everyone in the San Diego area! read more

Great experience! Alfonso, Gabriel, and Christina were all communicative, on time, and easy to talk to. My home is older so I needed a company certified in both mold and asbestos to work on my bathroom mold removal in the drywall/tile. Glad I chose this one! Alfonso is very knowledgeable and kind. He showed me how the plastics were set up carefully to prevent contamination and explained the overview of his process for the 2 days of work. He was considerate of my baby, and would check in to let me know when parts of the process would be noisier in case the baby was napping :) The SDAS team turned my stressful situation into a seamless remediation-def recommend! read more

No one ever wants to be a repeat customer of an abatement company - but we found some very gnarly mold in the front 1/3 of our house and reached out to SDAS, since they'd abated our house from asbestos 2 years ago. SDAS abated our walls from mold. Alfonso was the mold tech and he was super kind and communicative, providing an update every day and making sure to seal off the abatement area so we could continue living in the rest of the house. Gabriel was also very helpful and honest about our options to remove the mold from our concrete foundation, which we very much appreciated and ended up doing separately. The abatement work took around 4-5 business days, they ran an air scrubber over the weekend, and then the mold clearance test was the following Monday. The only improvement would've been a bit clearer communication about when we would be able to re-enter the area after abatement. We added a mold clearance test, which takes 24 hours for the results to come back (it wasn't instant like our asbestos air clearance). But overall SDAS was really great about helping us through this stressful experience. read more

I've been doing house repairs over the last few months and one thing has lead to another between replacing plumbing, fixing my solar, filling in drywall, replacing ducts, and several other things that I either wasn't aware of or didn't know that I would need another company to complete the job or crazy complications that cost more money and more time. The latest thing was as a company was removing the old ducts they found asbestos. Living without air conditioning for the past several days, this abatement company was able to book in a little over a week. Maricio (think I spelt that right), came on time, set everything up, answered all my questions, and even did some extra cleaning in the attic on things that were welded in from the air ducts. I was told sometimes it takes 1-2 days before booking, then possibly 6-8 hours after booking and giving info. He was done in less than 3 hours. This is a breathe of fresh air compared to all the other things I have been dealing with. Almost zero hassle (house smells like primer but that's not their fault). Highly recommended! read more

SD Abatement Services made quick work of removing the lead tiles from my old bathroom. It for sure wasn't easy and they had to get extra tools for the job. They turned it around in one day and left the room super clean. I didn't hire them directly--they were subcontracted for a remodel. I wanted to drop a review for them because I'm happy with the work they did and how quiet, efficient, and cleanly they did the job. The guys that did the work were polite and introduced themselves, but I forgot their names (sorry) because I've been so focused on my newborn baby. I will definitely hire this crew to get rid the rest of the lead tiles in my house in the future. read more

Had a great experience from start to finish with SD Abatement. Shan the owner was super communicative, the office gal was so nice and explained everything well, and the actual service was very straight forward. We had to have asbestos removed from our HVAC ducts/wires (??) and the guy that came did a great job of making us feel safe and like the areas he was working in was closed off properly. Pricing is also VERY competitive. I had a slight concern after they left and Shan immediately sent his project manager over to resolve the issue without hesitation Thank you to the whole team. While I hope I won't need abatement services again, I'm glad to know these great guys are there! They're also a local allied gardens business so it felt great to support local :). read more

SDAS removed the asbestos HVAC ducting from my home. I was worried that it would be a pain but these guys made it easy. I called into their office and asked for an estimated for the ducting i need removed. everyone else i called needed to come out to do and estimate and made me feel like this was going to be some huge deal. SDAS made ti easy, i called and told them what i needed removed and the quoted me over the phone based on the details i provided. The guy i spoke with told me we do hundreds of these and this is how much it will cost. I dont need to come and take a look. This immediately made me feel at ease so i scheduled the work with them. A couple days later a guy shows up in a truck, comes in tapes up all my HVAC registers, makes a makes a room out of plastic (like a scene out of E.T) in the hallway so he doesn't contaminate my living area gets in a hazmat suit and gets goes up in my attic. Hes up there a couple hours and then he emerges from the attic, with bags of asbestos duct work which he seals, gets out of the hazmat suit in the plastic room so he doesn't contaminate the house and bags it, he then breaks down the plastic room and bags that. And guess what the final price was exactly what i was quoted on the phone. 5 stars for SDAS for doing clean work, ensuring my home wasn't contaminated, providing reasonable pricing and being professionals. read more

Got all the popcorn removed in my house. This was one of two quotes I received on the popcorn, but I went with SD Abatement because they are certified to remove abestos material and with my old house there was bound to be abestos in the ceiling. I wanted the job done right and these are the guys to do it. The crew was courteous, thorough, and friendly. Everything was put right back to place after the removal, texture, prime, and paint. Oswaldo was the crew leader and he was nice enough to give me a tour midway through the project to show me that everything was going as planned. Estimated job start and completion dates were spot on. They told me they would start on Monday and finish in a week and a half, and guess what? They did. Kelsey, Veronica, and Shawn answered all my questions. I had a (whole) lot of questions to a point of annoying, but they answered everything in a timely matter by email and phone. The price they estimated for me was the price I paid at the project completion. There were no surprises. I'm so glad because I absolutely hate surprises. I had a tight budget and it gave me much less stress knowing the exact dollar amount I was responsible for. Thank you for making my ceiling look fantastic! read more

Shawn and his crew did a great job with the removal of a damaged acoustic ceiling. Asbestos is not something to be taken lightly, despite what other contractors may tell you. From electrical to the final paintwork, everything went as planned and they finished the job more quickly than we expected. To anyone looking to remove asbestos from their home: Don't listen to the contractor who tells you that anything below [insert arbitrary percent here] asbestos is not harmful. Anything above 1% is federally regulated. Shawn clearly doesn't take shortcuts and did his best to make sure everything was done correctly and professionally! read more

San Diego Abatement removed the asbestos popcorn ceilings from our property, reskimmed the ceilings, and removed old asbestos glue in our kitchen. The process for the quote and the contract was simple and straightforward. The people who worked on our home were polite and professional and left our home spot-free. It's rare to have people work in your home and leave no traces they were there aside from a finished job. My only wishes are for more communication--especially if the third party air clearance test was done on time--and an easier way to pay online. Kelsey and Shawn were great to work with! You might be able to find a cheaper service elsewhere, but the results for SD Abatement were good. read more

San Diego Abatement did a WONDERFUL job removing our acoustic (1410 sqf. with asbestos) ceilings. They also removed a pony wall and painted our dining room. Plus, retextured and painted the ceiling in our kitchen. Shawn (the owner) was professional and very detailed about the process. San Diego Abatement took this job seriously and took every measure to make sure the asbestos was contained. We had to be away from our home for two nights, exactly as Shawn said we would be. When other companies were telling us we would have to remove absolutely EVERYTHING from our home to have an abatement done, Shawn came in and told us we could leave all the large items and they would cover it all safely. He was realistic and made us feel so much better when we were feeling quite overwhelmed. We LOVE our new ceilings and we couldn't be happier! A couple months later, we decided to have wood look tile installed in the downstairs of our home, which is approximately 1900 sqf. We called Shawn and he came over the next day and had the best price from three other competitors. Our floors look AMAZING! San Diego Abatement is a top notch company. Shawn is thorough and detailed and he is easy to work with. All the workers that came into our home were on time, hardworking and very respectful. I will defintely call San Diego Abatement again for any of our home improvement needs! read more

We used San Diego Abatement to remove our old HVAC ducting that contained asbestos so that we could get a new HVAC system installed. They had straightforward and fair pricing and were easy to schedule with. Mauricio is the technician who came out to do the actual removal. Mauricio was professional, polite, and hardworking. He tarped the containment area and hauled the contaminated ducting safely and appropriately. After he was done, he cleaned up the little bit of debris and dust that was left over and it was like he was never even there. Mauricio was super fast and efficient! We would definitely use this company again for abatement services. read more

I called these guys to get an asbestos transit pipe removed, kind of in a rush. I started with an online quote early in the am and within a couple hours they were on the phone, trying to figure out who could quickly get it done THAT MORNING. And their price... On point and much better than the other guys. read more

It's a truly family run business with Gabriel providing fantastic customer service. He picks up his phone at any time of day and replies immediately to any questions. He is super knowledgeable about the business and he does his best to accommodate his customers wishes. Their prices are competitive and we got a reasonable discount when when condition of our home turned out better than was initially thought. They provide detailed estimates, answer all of your questions and patiently explain everything ( which many contractors don't do). read more

They were quick and cleaned up wonderfully after themselves. The company, and especially Alphonso was so responsive to any concerns I had. I couldn't find a part to the ceiling fan they had taken down, so he came out and helped me with that too. read more

I hired San Diego Abatement Services to remove the popcorn ceiling from my condo as well as retexture and paint the ceiling. I moved all my stuff into a Uhaul truck for a week and stayed with a friend while the work was done. The work was good and the price was fair but the reason why I didn't give 5 stars was that communications could have been better. For the initial quote I didn't know if Shawn was on his way or was late because it was getting close to the end of the hour of the appointment. A heads up would have been nice. Also, on Wednesday of that week of the work I got an email with an invoice so I thought that meant they finished early, but alas they weren't done. I literally got no communications or updates during the week, I had to check in myself to figure out what was going on. Also, as a tip plan on having your walls repainted as well - popcorn ceiling removal is messy work and you'd be too optimistic if you think nothing will happen when they rip off the strong tape holding up the plastic sheets. read more

Scheduling and admin services are haphazard. No notice is given to you as to when workers will show up to your property. Multiple follow-up calls had to be made to discover when work was scheduled for. Job itself was quick, but unfinished - texture was not done on several areas (pictures were provided) of the home and when called to schedule to finalize service, Marc the estimator, started the call with "you must be mistaken there is nothing wrong" and when asked why the texture is the remainder of the home is so different he began to escalate his tone and talk over me and eventually aggressively uttering a loud "SHUSH". This company is beyond unprofessional. From the scheduling, to receiving the wrong invoice with $600 in excess of contract, to being shushed on a phone call. The job remains unfinished. They were the cheapest in town and I certainly know why. I do not recommend this company. read more

Fantastic company and ownership! Reliable and best pricing in town. Highly highly recommend! read more

Great company, great customer service, fast efficient and affordable! Would use again for any Asbestos Abatement work!

Can't say enough good things about this experience! First, SD Abatement were the only ones that didn't demand that I remove every last stick of furniture from my condo--an impossible condition! They worked with me to remove what I could, then moved and covered the rest. The condo was spotless when they left. I was amazed, because removing popcorn ceilings is a messy, toxic job. The project came in under budget and was finished ahead of schedule. I didn't have to wait forever to have them come back and rehang the light fixtures either. The office did an excellent job of communicating, keeping me posted on project status. My condo looks and feels cleaner, airier, healthier. So glad I found SD Abatement! read more

Mauricio removed the asbestos ductwork in our attic today so we can install a new HVAC system. He was quick, clean and courteous. He arrived at 8:30 am and was done by 11:00 am. All surrounding areas were plastic sheeted for protection and he was courteous and professional. Great job! read more

Very professional company from top to bottom. The person answering the phones was helpful, Gabriel was very knowledgeable, and Alfonso was awesome! I can't recommend them enough! read more

I don't know what I would do without them! Especially Shawn, a very caring and knowledgeable owner, was the best. They reassured me everything would be ok, they were the fastest to respond and act, and overall best price. I can assure you, there is no one better. read more

In the middle of having my flooring installed, we discovered that I had asbestos in my kitchen and bathroom- the flooring installers walked out of the job immediately. I had 3 companies come and give me bids. San Diego Abatement Services was the most professional and knowledgeable. They scheduled the job the day after I called. They were polite, efficient, and did exactly what they promised to do. They were not the least expensive- but my confidence in a perfect job and the safety of my home was more important. They sent me the certificate of a clean air test so I can now finish my floors! read more

Recommended by Attic Heroes, other abatement companies were charging almost double to remove my asbestos ducts, but San Diego Abatement was cheaper and much more accommodating. Their office staff were also very helpful when I called or had any questions. It was a one person job and they were in and out quickly and did a great job. read more

We called San Diego Abatement Services to get a quote on the removal of our asbestos ridden popcorn ceiling. They seemed the most experienced and thorough of all the companies we called for quotes, and they offered competitive rates. When it came to the job, they were on time, and they were able to move through the popcorn ceiling removal at the schedule they initially set, which was a great relief. We would definitely recommend them to others. read more

I initially hired San Diego Abatement to remove asbestos from a bathroom in my condo that I was remodeling . Shawn then informed me that they not only do Abatement services but also do painting, and flooring etc. Throughout the time of my bathroom remodel, they were responsive, professional and all there work was done to perfection. I am beyond happy with the work that was completed and will continue to refer them to any one that needs the services they provide. read more

We hired San Diego Abatement to remove 1100 square feet of asbestos positive popcorn ceiling. The estimator showed up on time, provided a competitive quote and was able to start the work on our schedule. Unfortunately the actual work performed was of very low quality. The workers badly gouged the ceiling resulting in additional charges from the painter for repairs. The workers removed several light fixtures and smoke detectors loosing parts in the process. One light fixture was removed and the bare 120 volt hot wire was stuffed back up into the metal box resulting in sparks and a blown breaker when the next contractor hit the wall switch. Finally the workers, scheduled for 8am would invariably show up at 9:30 to 10:00am. Once the job has started the house can't be entered until it is complete leaving me waiting outside until they arrived. I do not recommend this company for popcorn ceiling removal. read more

San Diego Abatement is an awesome company. The guys were friendly and quite professional. They talked us through the process and answered every question. SD Abatement's rate is excellent, more economical than competitors. They were thorough in their work and clean-up. Thanks, SD Abatement! read more

Quick quote and awesome service! I would recommend them to family and friends. They cleaned out attic that had asbestos ducts.

Shawn and Alfonso did a wonderful job. Their bid was competitive and they handled everything with competence and professionalism. Shawn was easy to get a hold of whenever I had questions or concerns and addressed these immediately. Alfonso's care and consciousness in his work gave me immense peace of mind. I am so glad I chose to work with them. read more

I contracted SD Abatement Services to remove the "popcorn" asbestos-containing ceiling material as I was preparing my condominium unit for sale. My first e-mail went unanswered, so I called, and Faye, who was so helpful and knowledgeable, arranged a measurement just two days later. (So contact by phone) . The measurement went very quickly; Marc used a laser-type device and it was less than 10 minutes for my 800 sq. feet. I emphasized that the furnace closet needed complete service too, as it had the stuff on the walls as well as the ceiling(!) I received the bid in a couple of days and I enthusiastically accepted as the price was very reasonable. I also had the texturing and painting included in my contract and I recommend that potential customers do the same. It just doesn't make sense to get multiple companies involved in the same project, in my opinion. On the day of the service, which was scheduled about two weeks after I accepted, the crew showed up early in the morning and began their prep. I was staying with a neighbor for the 3 days of treatment (the middle day is to let the texturing cure) , and while we were observing from outside, a county Air Pollution Control District Inspector walked by and spoke with the workers. We talked to her as she was leaving and she told us that this particular company is very experienced and, essentially, her work is easy when they are on the job. So that was all the more reassuring. This is a very involved process from prep to restoring and lots of little work items are necessary. In my case this involved removing two closet door tracks and putting aside the very heavy doors they moved along, as well as a hall light fixture. I did choose to not have them restore the door tracks, mainly because I didn't want those things penetrating my now-beautiful ceiling! I called and asked if they could haul the extraordinarily heavy, solid-wood doors away and they did just that. I was so grateful as these things would have been so difficult to transport on my own. So the job is finished and I couldn't be more happy with the result. I have beautiful, fresh-looking ceilings and they did a complete and wonderful job (including that furnace closet). They left a quart of touch-up paint, which I appreciate, and now some six weeks later, I still marvel at how good this place looks. My highest recommendation for San Diego Abatement Services. read more
