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 Nicholasville

How do I know if my plaster has asbestos in it?

When you're comparing insulation bids in Nicholasville, that rock-bottom quote for your ranch on Nicholasville Road might use half the R-value you actually need for Kentucky winters. Contractors who skip proper air sealing or pack fiberglass too tight will leave you with high energy bills and cold spots. Ask each contractor for their Kentucky license number, proof of insurance, and references from jobs completed this year in Jessamine County before you sign anything.

Trusted by Government Agencies, Universities & Major Corporations

Most homes in Nicholasville were built between the 1970s and 1990s, and that means asbestos in floor tiles, pipe insulation, and siding. If you live anywhere off Main Street or near Veterans Park, you've probably got it somewhere in your house. The problem shows up when you start a renovation or when pipes need work. You can't just rip it out yourself. Disturbing asbestos without proper containment puts your family at risk.

We've been running asbestos removal jobs across Jessamine County since the late 1980s. Most of our work comes through contractors like Turner Construction and Messer, who call us when they hit asbestos on university projects or commercial buildings. Our crews have worked everywhere from the University of Cincinnati to Ohio State, handling the kind of containment and removal work that keeps projects moving safely. If you're dealing with asbestos in your Nicholasville home, you need a crew that's been doing this work for decades.
