Review by a customerin Morris, IL Project: Test or Evaluate Asbestos Risks
Kind of expensive. Asbestos test (two trips) close to $500 not including the actual lab.
Representative was very personable and professional. Representative was knowledgeable and appeared to enjoy sharing his knowledge.
Comment from Perception Environmental, Inc.
Thank you for the review. I thrive to educate and inundate knowledge to individuals so that informed decisions can be met. Client in this case choose to have a specific test conducted which required the services of a Lab equipped with a Transmission Electron Microscope. Client had asbestos floor sheet goods damaged by others during a home remodeling project. Therefore, prior to the abatement of all the floor sheet goods, client was concerned if asbestos fibers were floating throughout his home which required two trips. Additionally, not billed and not mentioned were all the hours spent discussing asbestos issues. Best regards.

Review by Bradley M.in Westmont, IL Project: Eliminate Toxic Materials or Mold
Industrial hygienist Paul Zilinskas is the consummate professional and perhaps the most honest person I have met in many, many years. Not only does he have extensive knowledge of both the cause and cure of problems like mold, but happily recommends the least expensive and least intrusive ways to correct any problems..

Review by Paul N.in Chicago, IL Project: Eliminate Asbestos
I couldn't say enough about how helpful and kind Paul was. He left me an email the night I contacted him through Servicemagic and the next day he spoke for over 30 min. with me over the phone, answering all my questions. He didn't stop me and suggest he make a site visit to charge me, he just went on helping me understand my situation.
Paul has to be by far one of the most knowledgeable people on both the handling of environmentally hazardous material as well as federal, state and municipal codes governing it.
He didn't charge me for his time, all he asked was that I write a review. It's the least I could do. Thanks so much Paul.
