What we thought was a simple call to an insulation company to top up some cold spots in our attic, resulted in a recommendation to test the vermiculite found. Unfortunately, ours tested positive, and we needed to find an asbestos removal company now, to remove the vermiculite, existing insulation, and top it back up after the air quality tests come back clear of all remnants.
We called 3 companies. Templar being one of them. Templar's quote was 8k; a second company with identical procedures was 10k; and the third company which said it was necessary to have 2-3 guys hand scoop the removal, pay for bag removal to a landfil far away, followed by the identical procedures used by the other 2 companies (vaccuuming out the remaining), came in at 20k.
Glad we got multiple quotes, else we would have spent between $2000-$12000 more than we would have needed to. Our house is now asbestos free thanks to Templar. Great prompt service, at a reasonable price!
- Approximate cost of services:
