Verified record
Commonwealth Asbestos Testing, Removal & Surveys is a Medford-based company hired across the Boston area for asbestos testing, removal and abatement, along with mold testing and removal, according to its own site. The strongest specific account is a 2026 Google review describing an emergency asbestos test with results delivered in under six hours, matching the fast turnaround the company advertises. A 2023 Google review described the technician, identified as Robert, coming to a home to collect samples and working patiently around the homeowner's schedule. A 2019 HomeAdvisor review likewise called him very responsive and said he did everything he said he would do. Not every account on file is positive. A separate 2019 HomeAdvisor review described a testing visit where materials under a carpet were missed despite being specifically flagged, and said the technician was then unreachable, reportedly out of the country, when asked to return and finish the job. Google shows a 5.0-star average from five ratings, though only two of those ratings have a retrievable written review; HomeAdvisor shows a lower 2.5-star average built from its own two reviews, one matching each account above. Anyone with a time-sensitive job may want to confirm scheduling and follow-through directly, since the most detailed complaint on file involves an incomplete return visit.
Commonwealth was a life saver! Knowledgeable, responsive, accessible, and fast. We needed emergency testing. From my first call to getting test results was under six hours, giving me PRICELESS peace of mind.
Robert came out to my house to take some samples for testing. He worked within my schedule, and was very patient while I asked my many questions.
He missed test materials under the carpet, which I specifically ask him to check, I call him to come back to finish the job, and he says he is out of the country, it was a waste of time.
Very responsive and did everything he said he would do.
