What Our Customers Say

★★★★★
THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE.
Norman D.· Angi
★★★★★
I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day.
Raymond F.· Angi
★★★★★
I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!
Cathryn H.· Angi

Common Question in Crescent Springs

Can I remove asbestos myself to save money

DIY asbestos removal is illegal in Kentucky without proper licensing and can land you with serious fines. One mistake during removal can spread deadly fibers throughout your Crescent Springs home, putting your family at risk for decades. Get a sample tested by a certified lab first, then hire licensed professionals who have the containment equipment and disposal permits required by state law.

Trusted by Government Agencies, Universities & Major Corporations

Most homes in Crescent Springs were built in the 1960s and 70s, back when asbestos was standard in everything from floor tiles to pipe insulation. If you live anywhere near Lou Hartfiel Park or off KY 2373, your house probably has asbestos somewhere. The tricky part isn't finding it. It's getting it removed safely without turning your home into a hazmat zone. You need a crew that knows the difference between a quick demo job and proper abatement work.

We've been running asbestos jobs across Kenton County since the 1990s. Most of our work comes through Turner Construction and Messer Construction on bigger projects, but we handle plenty of residential calls too. Our trucks are out near Crestview Hills Town Center or up along I-71 most weeks. If you're dealing with old floor tiles or pipe insulation that needs to come out, you've probably got questions about what safe removal actually looks like.
