Your Specialty Contractor In Asbestos Abatement

Over the years we have completed numerous kinds of commercial asbestos removal and demolition projects, and there's no project in these areas we don't have consistently extensive experience with.  This kind of work is highly regulated by the industry and workers must be carefully trained and re-certified every year, including medical exams that are kept on file for 30 years!  Our founder has aligned himself with a proven team of expert asbestos workers who are trained and certified at the highest level, so that your project is safely completed in a professional and expeditious manner.

Certification, Contractor License, Insurance, Payment and Performance Bond

In this highly regulated business, the most important concern is hiring the right contractor to do the job.  That contractor must have the proper AHERA supervisor/contractor certifications, workers certifications, contractors license, and insurance. The type or form of insurance usually required of an asbestos contractor is known as “occurrence”. It protects the named insured forever, in that if this insurance is in place when an “occurrence” happens, you are covered even if the contractor is no longer in business.  Occurrence insurance is usually required at a $5,000,000 level.  In addition, payment and performance bonds are used to protect you if your contractor goes bankrupt during an asbestos abatement project. All insurance may be negotiable, except  for workmen’s compensation which is required by law. This limits the employer's liability if an employee is injured, and guarantees that the employee's medical needs will be taken care of at no cost to them.

Kevin Nielsen, CEO

Kevin Nielsen, Founder and Jaime Bugarin, Supervisor

Kevin, a California native, was born in Santa Monica and raised in nearby Culver City. He graduated from Culver High School in June of 1979 and began his career in the construction field as an apprentice carpenter with Carpenters Local 1400 Santa Monica in August of the same year. Over time, he worked his way up to Class "A" carpentry and gained experience in both the public and private sectors, working on large-scale concrete projects.

In November of 1995, Kevin obtained his contractor's license and began seeking out seismic retrofit jobs after the Northridge Earthquake. He took advantage of the Anchor LA Program, which was launched by the City of Los Angeles to provide homeowners with funds to retrofit their homes. Kevin's business benefited greatly from the program's free advertising, and he completed many successful projects.

When the seismic work began to slow down in the summer of 2004, Kevin decided to shift his focus to asbestos abatement contracting. With his extensive experience in construction, he quickly became a trusted contractor in the field
