Its HomeAdvisor and Angi pages each show 4.8 stars from 43 ratings, its Google rating is 4.6 from 10 ratings, and its BBB page shows an A+ grade. A recent Google reviewer who hired EGI after a house fire and water damage writes that camera footage showed Chris Maastricht loading their brand new washer and dryer onto his white truck and driving off, and calls it theft done without their permission. The same reviewer names Chris Maahs as the owner. A 2024 customer said the crew removed moldy sheetrock and an asbestos tile floor after basement flooding, and called the price very reasonable. A 2023 customer from Cromwell said Chris responded to the first call immediately, laid out a specific outline of the job and fit it in on a tight timeline. A 2023 Google reviewer said they handled asbestos removal on basement air ducts. A 2022 reviewer said Chris Maahs and his team removed asbestos from the home in 2021, arrived on time each day and finished ahead of schedule. In a 2020 review, a customer said Chris Maahs and his crew removed vermiculite inside a garage wall and came back for a follow-up cleanup when called. A 2013 customer who hired them to treat mold said Chris emailed the job report and certification the same afternoon. A 2018 customer praised the fast turnaround on lab results but said they did not go over the results in detail or explain their impact. **Strengths:** - Asbestos removal — a 2022 reviewer said the team finished ahead of schedule - A tight-timeline fit — a 2023 customer said Chris fit the job in quickly - Same-day mold paperwork — a 2013 customer got the report and certification that afternoon **Concerns:** - Appliance theft allegation — a recent reviewer says their new washer and dryer were taken - Lab results explanation — a 2018 customer said results were not explained in detail ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.8 stars from 43 ratings on both HomeAdvisor and Angi _(confidence: high)_ - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.EnvironmentalGroup.4343705.html) — “HomeAdvisor: 4.8★ from 43 ratings” - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ct/middletown/environmental-group-inc-reviews-1.htm) — “Angi: 4.8★ from 43 ratings” - Google rating of 4.6 stars from 10 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Environmental%20Group%20Inc.&query_place_id=ChIJgy2VcIG054kRCEKhD98oW6s) — “Google: 4.6★ from 10 ratings” - A+ grade on its Better Business Bureau page _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/middletown/profile/asbestos-removal/environmental-group-inc-0111-31003790) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - A recent Google reviewer alleges camera footage showed their new washer and dryer being loaded onto a truck and taken without permission _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT201d2NVRklZVlE1VTB3d1prZGxkVTgyU2taNlZGRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xab5b28df0fa14208!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOm5wcUFIYVQ5U0wwZkdldU82SkZ6VFE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “1★ EGI was hired as part of my home remodeling after my house fire and water damage.
