Straight answers

The three things the Bay Area callers ask first

"Our permit needs a pre-demo survey."

We scope the survey to the demolition plan so the notification package is complete without over-sampling.

"The house is 1920s — everything is suspect."

Plaster, glazing putty, boiler and pipe insulation, linoleum backing: we sample what the crew opens, not the whole house.

"Consultants quoted a four-figure survey."

That is commercial survey pricing. A residential material test here is a flat $425–$575.

The nine-county Bay Area has one of the oldest housing inventories in the western US; pre-1980 construction is the default assumption.

We test and nothing else. No removal bids, no abatement sales — so a result can never pay us.

    Kitchen remodel never lost a day

    Inspector was here the same afternoon, pulled three samples and the lab report landed in my inbox before the crew showed up the next morning.

    Straight answer on our popcorn ceiling

    1969 ceiling texture and no idea what was in it. The report was plain English with a photo of every sample point, and the $75 came off without me asking twice.

    Fast and professional

    Booked at nine, sampled by one. They sealed every spot they touched and vacuumed the area before leaving.

    Insurance wanted documentation

    Our carrier asked for lab documentation after a water loss. The chain-of-custody paperwork was exactly what the adjuster needed.

    Good value, quick turnaround

    Two-minute phone quote with no runaround. Results back inside a day as promised. Only wish weekend slots were easier to grab.

    Peace of mind before demo

    We were taking out a load-bearing wall in a 1976 house. Negative result and the written report kept the permit moving.

    Honest, zero upsell

    They never pitched me removal work. Just testing, results and a clear explanation of what the numbers actually meant.

    Patient with a nervous homeowner

    I was worried about my kids being in the house. The inspector walked me through containment and what was genuinely a risk.
