Asbestos removal companies are always looking for ways to discern themselves from their competition, and those that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award are already several steps ahead. In addition to its Diamond Certified status, Environmental Remedies, Inc. differentiates itself by maintaining a flawless track record for regulatory compliance and safety—an accomplishment rarely seen in the industry. “Since we’ve been in business, we’ve had zero citations from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District or Cal/OSHA,” says co-owner Scott Tamayo. “We’ve also had zero workers’ compensation claims, which means we’ve had no injuries on the job.”
Another distinguishing characteristic of Environmental Remedies is the overall experience of its staff. Owner Jaime Tamayo leads the way with 26 years in the business, but all the company’s technicians have at least five years’ experience, and its project foremen and supervisors have been in the industry for at least 12 years. “Our overall experience goes a long way in making sure we do our projects correctly,” says Scott Tamayo. “We only employ the best and most experienced technicians. By doing so, we ensure there isn’t a scenario we haven’t come across before. This allows us to take prompt and appropriate action to meet any of our customers’ needs.”
Unlike mold and lead abatement companies that eventually get complacent when dealing with clients, Environmental Remedies takes great pride in maintaining a high level of customer service. “We try to set ourselves apart by providing better service,” confirms Mr. Tamayo. “Our goal is to impress our customers at every stage of the project, from their first phone call all the way through the final inspection and billing.”
