The company will lead you step by step through the process of asbestos removal.</p><p>When you meet with the contractor, use the notes that you’ve taken so you can accurately describe any concerns that you have. Be very detailed and don’t be in a hurry. It’s as important for you to hear their suggestions and observations as it is for them to hear you.</p><p>If you don’t understand something, ask for an explanation. You need to completely comprehend the plan and any problems that may arise.</p><p>Be sure to get all estimates in writing before any work begins. The estimate should include an itemized list of the cost of supplies and the labor. Don’t ever sign a blank estimate.</p><p></p><p> </p><p><strong>Signing the Contract </strong><br/>When you feel satisfied with the information you’ve received from your asbestos removal company and all of your questions have been answered, you’re ready to sign the contract.</p><p>Make sure your information on the contract is correct and current, and confirm that they have a phone number where you can be reached at all times. If the asbestos removal company can’t communicate with you, that can slow down the process.</p><p>Expect the contractor to stay within the estimate. However, if the actual asbestos removal costs exceed the original amount of the estimate, the asbestos removal company must get your approval before moving ahead.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Ways to Make the Work Easier for Asbestos Removal Contractors </strong><br/>Professional asbestos removal companies are able to handle a variety of aspects relating to the work, but there are some things that you can do to prepare them and simplify the process. Doing these things may even cut down on their labor costs and keep your home and belongings from being damaged.</p><p><strong>Remove any furniture or movable items from the area where they will be working.</strong> The more you do, the more quickly they can get to work. The asbestos removal company’s work is to remove the asbestos, not your things.</p><p><strong>Provide parking space and room for their work vehicles to maneuver.</strong> Some asbestos removal companies have large vehicles that require more space than average. Contact your contractor before they begin and ask them how many parking spaces they need and how much room they need for oversized vehicles. It’s also helpful to walk through the area with your contractor so any hazards or clearance issues can be pointed out before the asbestos removal.</p><p><strong>Keep your pets and children away from the area.</strong> Your asbestos removal company will be focused on removing the asbestos and shouldn’t have to watch out for your pets or children at any time.</p><p><strong>Trim plants and bushes that are in the way of the asbestos removal area.</strong> You can save money and time by trimming or removing any plants, trees or bushes that are in the way. Ask your contractor what they recommend and the amount of space they require.</p></div>
