We moved to Hamilton recently and bought a turn-of-the-last-century duplex in the Durand. Being over a hundred years old, we weren't surprised to find asbestos. In our case it was the heating pipes for both units in the basement ... miles of them, it seemed. I got busy with Homestars on a Friday, looking for someone who knew what they were doing to help us. I contacted a few companies but it was Manny who offered to come that weekend to evaluate the situation. He could have tried to take advantage of our relative ignorance, although we'd read up on asbestos, but he immediately outlined all the options once he was here. His recommendation was not the most expensive one; our asbestos wrapping was in remarkably good shape so unless we were planning to finish our very unfinished basement, he felt treating any slightly broken or abrased parts would be more than satisfactory. We checked a couple more companies but remained most impressed with Manny. His crew came 3 days after we agreed to go ahead (by the way, no deposit) with hazmat suits and respirators, and tarped and covered everything in the basement. They were here on time both days and once finished, did a great job cleaning up. In fact, the basement was cleaner when they finished than it had been when they arrived! A few days later, a foundation expert was in our basement and commented it was the best job he'd seen. We are more than happy with Manny and his crew and recommend GreenStream wholeheartedly. We can't fault Manny or his company in any way ... perfect!!
