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!)...

Based on the recs on this thread we hired Pat and Leinster Contracting and were very pleased with our service.

Their price was fair and they were able to set up an appointment within the week.

Can anyone be more explicit about "fair prices" and "$500 less than the other bid"?

Was that $500 less than $15,000? Or $500 less than $750?

I also used Leinster Contracting Services (718-651-9100) based on the recommendations on this forum. They were great to work with and did an excellent job removing our entire basement ceiling and the asbestos from the pipes in said ceiling. Pat Hogan came out to give us an estimate the same day that I called, and he and his crew were able to complete the abatement just a few days later (in and out in a matter of hours). They removed asbestos from an unforeseen additional pipe (which was located during the abatement process after the ceiling was out) at no additional charge. The basement was left immaculately clean. No headaches. Thanks to all who recommended these guys.
