Templar Environmental Services

Rob and his team did an exemplary job of removing the asbestos from our basement and left it cleaner than it was when they arrived. Their price was significantly lower than the other quotes I got. Our contractor was also very impressed with their work, which says something! Their commitment to customer service and fair pricing is obvious and impressive.

We needed to remove old asbestos insulation wrapped around one of our hot water pipes in our basement. After thoroughly explaining the process, David and his team did a first-rate job of removal. The basement area was completely sealed and the rest of the house was unaffected. David also did a great job of keeping us up-to-date on everything that was happening at the house so there were no surprises.

Rob and Dave gave a quick quote, told me what I did and didn't have to and then came back on time, completed the work and left the basement exactly as they found it.

When David and his assistant arrived (at the start of the business day, like professionals), they not only immediately began to get down to work, but were very informative about every step involved in the removal of the asbestos and how they would isolate the area; effectively covering all of my concerns before I needed to ask. David was a pro, was very knowledgeable and went beyond my expectations to ensure the entire area was ready for my next contractors to work in the area. He pointed out what might be some future concerns, without pressuring or inflating the potential risks. I would certainly recommend contacting Robert at Templar, I know will be, should I need to again. Having an older house, I've had my share of tradespeople come through, what a pleasure to deal with a professional, timely, informative, efficient and thorough team.

This review is long overdue, but well deserved by Robert and his team. From inception, Robert was professional, timely, and provided excellent customer service. Despite the constant worry of having the asbestos removed from our vents, along with a barrage of questions/concerns, Robert was very patient and was able to put our minds at ease. It should be noted that he provided very objective advice and did not try to instill fear to push a sale. Thank you. Dan

I had wanted to write this review for some time. I had the asbestos basement floor tile removed plus moldy drywall due to years of water leakages into my basement on August 27, 2013. Robert returned my call immediately, explained the procedure and provided me with a reasonable estimate. David and his crew came out to do the work and they were superb. David explained the process and kept me constantly informed. David was meticulous, professional and extremely courteous. This summer we have had many contractors do some updating work around our house, but Templar by far was the best. I highly recommend this company.

My basement was a victim of famous Toronto flood. Everything had to be removed. I have contacted several companies and Templar’s price was less than other quotes I got. I had 2 jobs that had to be done. One is to remove the asbestos tiles that were underneath the laminate floor. And the other job was to remove the thick terracotta tiles from 500 square feet main basement room. The latter was a hard job and I was afraid about the dust level and the amount of time that it would take. I was very impressed with David and his detailed attention to everything. Davis sealed all possible area to minimize the dust level and the work was done while I was at work and kids were in school. When the work was done David cleaned up all the mess, disposed of all debris and applied an environmentally and kids friendly disinfectant. Very impressed and would gladly recommend Templar to anybody. Thanks David and Robert!

I decided to have about 750 square feet of asbestos tiles in my basement removed. I got three quotes, Robert's was the best, and from talking to him, it was clear that he was offering the identical level of service as the other two. When David came out to inspect the site, he was courteous, professional, answered my questions patiently, and just generally gave me confidence in the Templar Team. This faith was proven correct when they came soon after to complete the job. They came when scheduled, did the work efficiently (finishing basically in 1 day instead of 2), didn't nickel and dime me (the final price was exactly what we had agreed on in our first phone conversation), and cleaned up after themselves. I'd highly recommend Templar.

I contacted Templar to remove the exposed asbestos from the pipes in the boiler room of our 100-year-old Toronto home. Robert responded to my email promptly and was able to give me an approximate quote over the phone. I received a similar quote from another company, but their response time was poor. So, based on Robert’s professionalism, prompt replies, and all the positive reviews I read for Templar, I decided to go with them. I scheduled the asbestos removal for the following week. Prior to that, David came to our home to view the job and to give me a definitive quote. He explained the procedure and patiently responded to all of my questions and concerns He also informed me that we had asbestos tiles on the floor, which we decided to remove as well. The asbestos-removal team consisted of David, Dale & Warren (hope I got their names right). They were friendly and professional, and as far as I can tell, they did an excellent job. The only reason I am not giving them a 10 out of 10 is because they were about an hour late on both days, and I had to call David to see where they were at. Other than that, they were great! I highly recommend them and would definitely hire them again if the need arose. Thank you, Templar!

After recently purchasing an older home (108 yrs), I needed a fairly large amount of exposed asbestos removed. The first company tried to up-sell me I felt. I asked Robert for a quote from Templar and it was much lower and he was a straight shooter and honest. No up-selling. I highly recommend Templar.
