Asbestos Removal
Our coop just had the basement in our basement removed and the pipes re insulated by Leinster Contracting Services after reading recommendations for them on this forum. They did an excellent job for a competitive price. We have been getting other work done and I wish all contractors could be this easy to work with. Our primary contact was Pat Hogan (347-408-9190)

I second that. Leinster did an excellent job at a fair price ($500 less than the other bid) in our townhouse basement. Highly recommended. They were in and out in less than 6 hours.

I'd be curious to know what either of you paid for such a job.

DEFINITELY recommend using John Rodriguez. John worked in my brownstone. In and out in two days. Great price, quality, and timing. Very rare you get all three in one contractor. I don't have his number handy, but there's another asbestos post with hid info. That's how I found him.
Good luck.

Mafucci = ripoff. He gave me an estimate that was at lest five-six times what I needed. This is even after doing a walkthrough of my space and cancelled two appointments. Not a number to keep. Could do a great job but make sure you collect quotes before deciding to sign his dotted line.

We just called Pat Hogan at Leinster Contracting on the recommendation of this forum for a partial basement demo (which I foolishly began myself) and an emergency cleanup. The original ceiling as it turns out was asbestos (apparently non-friable) nevertheless it was a whole can of worms I should have never opened.
They were straightforward, efficient, and extremely through.
He took down our entire ceiling, the asbestos sprayed plumbing - did an immaculate cleanup job.
In and out tin less than a day.
He included the air testing in the price, faxed certification package quickly.
A very good experience.
Thanks to everyone who recommended him.

Firstly, I would like to say thanks to Brownstoner too for recommending 'Leinster Contracting Services' to perform the removal of the asbestos.
Pat Hogan and his team conducted a thorough eradication of the asbestos wrap on the pipes in our basement. I must add that he also pointed out 8' x 8' of tiles we were not aware contained asbestos and removed them free of charge (ie. he didn't have to)!
We will update the site with any other positive vendors/services we experience throughout our renovation, we could also recommended who not to use (ahem!)...
