Asbestos removal and abatement
Licensed crews remove the asbestos safely, independent air monitors check the work, and you get the paperwork your permit, building or buyer needs. From one pipe elbow to a full roof.
- Licensed in New York & New Jersey
- NYC DEP-certified investigators
- EPA-certified lead professionals
- Fully insured, COIs on request
- Free in-person estimates
Asbestos is only dangerous when it’s disturbed, which is exactly what a renovation, demolition or repair does. Removal has to be done by licensed workers inside a controlled work area, with the air checked before anyone else goes back in.
We handle the whole job: the filing, the containment, the removal, licensed disposal, independent air testing and the close-out documents. Our quotes spell out everything that’s included, so you know what you’re paying for.
What’s included
- Licensed asbestos abatement crews and supervisors
- Filings and notifications the job requires (NYC DEP, NYS DOL, NJ permits)
- Containment, negative air and protection of the rest of the home or building
- Independent third-party air monitoring and final clearance testing
- Licensed disposal with waste manifests
- Completion paperwork, including the ACP-21 for NYC permits
- COIs for your building, managing agent or GC
- Scheduling around building rules, work hours and elevators

Paperwork we handle for you
- New York City: removal of more than minor amounts is an asbestos project filed with DEP on an ACP-7, with independent air monitoring. When it passes, DEP issues an ACP-21, which keeps your DOB permit moving.
- New York State: NYS DOL licensing and Industrial Code Rule 56 apply everywhere. Larger projects need advance notification to the state.
- New Jersey: work by an NJ-licensed asbestos contractor, with the permits and notifications your project needs, finished with clearance air testing.
What it costs
Price depends on the material and how much of it there is, how many separate work areas there are, any filing required, the number of days of air monitoring, access (stairs, elevators, building work hours) and disposal. Small jobs can often be quoted from photos. For bigger or less clear-cut jobs, we come out and do a free in-person estimate.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an asbestos test before you can quote?
A lab report gives the most accurate quote. Without one, photos and rough measurements let us give you an idea, and we can arrange testing to confirm.
How long does removal take?
Most apartment floors and pipe runs take one to three days on site. Filed projects need a filing period before work starts, so plan for that in your schedule.
Can I stay home during the work?
For small, sealed-off areas, often yes. For larger jobs we usually recommend staying out of the work area until clearance. We’ll tell you exactly what to expect.
Is it safe for my neighbors?
Yes. Work areas are sealed under negative air pressure, and independent air monitoring checks the air around and inside the work area.
Do you remove the parquet too, or just the glue?
Either. We can remove the wood flooring with the mastic, or just the mastic left after your flooring contractor lifts the wood.
Can asbestos be covered instead of removed?
Sometimes. Mastic left behind after flooring is removed can often be encapsulated under new flooring, and we’ll tell you when that’s an option.
Do you handle large commercial projects?
Yes. We take jobs of every size: full roofs, siding, boiler rooms, multi-floor commercial spaces, phased work in occupied buildings and pre-demolition abatement.
What paperwork do I get at the end?
Air clearance results and the completion documents the job requires, such as the ACP-21 in NYC, plus waste manifests on request.
How is payment handled?
Abatement is booked with a deposit, which lets us file and reserve the crew. The balance is due on completion.
