Safeguarding The Built Environment Since 1983

Environmental Consulting

We consider ourselves the pioneers of environmental consulting and AHERA regulation management. Our founder, William Gallagher, was an Architect; the AHERA regulations were put into law in the 1980’s with lots of new rules and regulations that schools had to follow in order to manage their asbestos containing building materials. Because Mr. Gallagher was an architect, these rules had a profound impact on design and cost when renovating schools. Bill saw an avenue to help school districts maintain compliance, so he became a certified management planner and actually traveled the country teaching school district personnel and other architects how to comply with the AHERA regulations.

The Importance of Environmental Consulting Services

The cost of hiring a consultant for built environment issues is a worthy and in many cases a much-needed investment for business owners. The issues that arise from lead, mold, poor air quality etc. can turn out be very costly and present serious dangers to those who frequent your place of business. To make matters worse, many problems that result from built environment hazards are not easily identifiable by the naked eye, making the services of a professional environmental consultant vital to your company’s ongoing success. The primary reason for this is that environmental consultants will help identify problems and assess risks, ensuring that small issues remain small and larger issues get a proper plan, ensuring a timely resolution. At e.h.c. Associates, we take pride in offering the environmental consulting services that will keep your building compliant, and those who travel through its doors safe and healthy. To learn more about our services or to schedule a time for our team to visit your building, contact us today!

 

Doing the right thing has power.

I would like to compliment EHC and its employees for a great job of asbestos removal and mold remediation. In particular I want to say how professional Elio Cirilo is. He was not pushy nor did he use any scare tactics. He simply explained what needed to be done and general details of how it would be accomplished. I believe it is absolutely best to be honest with people and answer their questions. He was very comfortable just talking to me and his integrity was evident. He answered my questions and even made a second trip to go over things with me and tell me more options. He told me if there was anything I wanted to discuss with him at any point in the work I should give him a call and he would look into it. When the work was finished he reviewed the time and materials and felt the estimate was higher than necessary so he reduced it. He said he wanted to be sure I felt I was being treated fairly. This kind of concern and ethics like this are rare and appreciated. Well done!

We live in a 100 year old house that had vermiculite in an unfinished attic. After having 3 other companies out to give us an appraisal and not feeling comfortable with any of them, we contacted e.h.c. associates. Elio Cirilo an estimator was out the next day. Within minutes of meeting Elio I knew that this was the company I wanted to use. He went over every step of the process from start to finish and answered EVERY question we had. The work they performed went beyond what I expected. Every associate that works for this company from the office staff to the field techs were friendly and professional. They will be the company I use for any projects I have in the future and I highly recommend this company.

Our infant son tested high for lead last year, and EHC was the place consistently recommended for testing and lead abatement. For a few weeks, our home ended up looking like a biohazard zone as they sealed it up and then meticulously tested and removed any sign of lead in our 125+ year old house. Some portions of our home were removed, some were encapsulated, some were sand blasted and sealed. The attention to detail was really impressive. In the end we felt we could move back into our home without worry that it was damaging our child. A few months later and our son's lead levels have dropped to below threshold for lead poisoning (so much faster than doctors anticipated), and it's because of EHC. This was an expensive process, but it is very clear why. I would recommend them to anyone.

I have worked with EHC as a vendor on multiple jobs. Tony Klopp and the crews are organize and communicate with us before the job begins, so we are all on the same page. The site guys work extremely well with our drivers when on site. Job sites are clean and accessible for our drivers to get in and do their job.

E.H.C. provides top shelf service every time, all the time. From the estimating process through project completion the staff and support to the project is always superb. I have personally had multiple projects involving asbestos remediation with multiple lead site managers the most recent Alex Henriquez provided daily communications on project status and projected completion helping schedule the next steps in our projects. In the construction arena when finding quality contractors can be challenging E.H.C. sets the standard for a fantastic work experience.

This is the third time EHC has helped me with a problem and I couldn't be happier. This time Alex and his helper removed duct work with asbestos and did a fantastic job. Having asbestos is scary and these guys make it seem like an everyday occurrence. The office personnel are so kind and polite. This is a great company. Thanks EHC for your very professional, excellent work.

We contacted EHC, set up an appt and Mark came to visit and took readings. We suspected mold issues due to our Grandson was having a reaction every time he visited us recently. The testing indicated mold in our ducts. Art and Nelson came out and in 2 days the cleaning and treatment eradicated the issue. The whole process was seamless and we are confident it was totally taken care of.Art and Nelson were professional and courteous during this process, we couldn't have asked for more.

My experience with EHC Associates has been excellent. They have been so helpful from the moment I placed the first phone call to when I payed my invoice today. My family has been out of our house for remodeling for almost 2 months. When we were able to move back in it dawned on me that there was a chance that some of the old building materials that were removed could have contained asbestos. I called EHC to get my air tested to make sure it was safe for my family to move back in. I called on Monday and they were able to squeeze me in for the test that very same day. I paid to get my results expedited and I had the information back the next evening. The price was not outrageous either. Thank you EHC and a very special thank you to Wendy, Elio, & Cathy for being so friendly, professional, and informative. I am a supervisor for a customer service call center and I can tell you that they get an A+ in my book for the way they treated me as a customer!

EHC saved the day for us! During construction we encountered possible environment materials on our site. Because all of trades were lined up to do work on a very tight time schedule, I called EHC who sent a representative out within hours of my call. The rep took samples and by 2PM the next day I got a call with the results of the sampling (yea no hazardous materials!) thus allowing us to stay right on our construction schedule. Thank you EHC for saving the day!!!
