Asbestos Testing & Removal
Licensed asbestos abatement for popcorn ceilings, pipe wrap, vinyl tile, and siding in pre-1985 homes.
Homes built before 1985 throughout North Georgia routinely contain asbestos in popcorn ceilings, pipe insulation, vinyl floor tile, and cement siding. Testing is cheap ($45–$95 per sample); the wrong remediation approach is expensive and dangerous.

FAQ
Is asbestos always dangerous?
Only when fibers are released and inhaled — intact materials are stable. Disturbing them without proper containment is what creates risk.
Do I have to remove it before selling?
No — but disclosure is required, and many buyers will negotiate the cost off the sale price.
