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 Erlanger

Lead paint removal vs encapsulation

Both approaches work, but your choice depends on your timeline and budget in Erlanger. Encapsulation costs less and finishes faster, but you'll need to maintain that barrier coat every few years. Complete removal costs more upfront but eliminates the lead paint problem permanently, which matters most if you're planning major renovations or have young children in the house.

Most homes in Erlanger sit between I-71/75 and I-275, in neighborhoods built from the 1950s through the 1980s. If you live anywhere near Dixie Highway or close to CVG, you're dealing with older insulation that's breaking down. The bigger problem is what's hiding underneath it. Asbestos pipe insulation, floor tiles, and boiler wrap were standard in anything built before 1980. When your heating bills spike or you smell something off in the basement, it's usually not just an insulation problem.

We've been running abatement crews through Kenton County since the 1990s. Most of our work comes through Turner Construction and Messer Construction on the bigger projects, but we handle plenty of residential jobs near Silver Lake Park and the neighborhoods off Dixie Highway. Our trucks are out here every week, and we know which subdivisions have the asbestos siding and which basements still have the old pipe wrap. If you're staring at a renovation that just got more complicated, you've probably got the right crew already working in your area.
