What drives the price
- Quantity: square feet of flooring, linear feet of pipe, number of fittings.
- Filing: NYC jobs above minor size need a DEP ACP-7; large NYS jobs need NYS DOL notification and fees.
- Air monitoring: priced per day by an independent firm, so a 3-day job costs more than a 1-day job.
- Access and building rules: doorman buildings with limited hours, high floors, no elevator, or night work.
- Number of work areas: each separate area needs its own setup.
- Disposal of the waste at a licensed facility.
Small jobs vs. large jobs
- Minor jobs (a short pipe run, a small bathroom floor) avoid the DEP filing, but still need licensed workers and air clearance.
- Filed apartment jobs (most parquet mastic and tile floors) are priced by quantity and days of air monitoring.
- Roofs, siding and whole buildings are priced from the survey and drawings, usually after a free in-person estimate.
Compare quotes properly
Ask every contractor whether their price includes the filing, the air monitoring days, disposal and the final paperwork (ACP-21). A low number that leaves these out isn’t the cheaper quote.
Questions
Why does air monitoring cost extra elsewhere?
Some quotes leave out the independent air monitor’s daily fee. Ours include it.
