Why choose us
Expert In The Area
Due to the age of most buildings in California, we’re called on to remove asbestos, lead and mold-containing materials in homes, commercial buildings, schools and military facilities. Our services can range from scheduled hazardous removal for remodels and demolitions, to emergency responses for fire and water loss, and at other times, the removal of hazards subsequent to a remodel or full building demolition.
The maintenance of a clean and safe community, through the removal of hazards, is our main goal. We take pride in contributing to the preservation of our beautiful surroundings in our part of the world. As a local, small business, we’re honored to provide quality service and customer interaction to the central coast.
If you’d like more information about what we do, and the services we offer, please feel free to call or email us anytime.
