Hartford asbestos abatement, survey to clearance testing
Survey first, licensed removal under containment, then clearance air testing before anyone goes back in. The documentation is what your permit, your insurer and your building inspector will ask for.
Anything built before 1990 can hold asbestos in flooring, pipe wrap, texture coat, roof felt and board. Some jurisdictions require the inspection before a demolition permit is issued at all, and the rest have their own version of the same rule.
Pricing a demolition without knowing is not a discount, it is a variation waiting to happen, usually at the worst moment. We book the survey first, quote the removal as its own line, and only then price the takedown. Removal happens under containment with negative air, and the job is not finished until clearance air testing passes and the paperwork is issued.
Lead paint follows the same discipline under lead paint removal, water-damaged buildings usually need mould remediation in the same visit, and only then does strip out work begin.

The Work

Grouped by what the job actually is rather than by the part being fitted.
No, but enough do that guessing is not sensible. A survey takes a few days and turns an unknown into a priced line, which is what your permit application needs anyway.
A single room can be days. A whole house with flooring, pipe wrap and texture coat can be a week or more, plus the clearance testing before anyone re-enters.
Not in the containment, and often not in the building depending on the layout and the air paths. That gets decided from the survey, not from convenience.
The survey report, waste manifests and clearance air results. Keep them, because your insurer, your buyer and your building inspector will each ask at some point.
Removal must be done by crews trained and certified for it under the regulations that apply locally. Ask for the certification before the quote rather than after the work.
