Remtech is headquartered on Wake Forest Road, a few minutes from North Hills. The capital is where we started, where most of our crew lives, and where the bulk of our work happens — about sixty percent of every year is spent inside the Wake County line.
That matters because Raleigh's housing stock and weather patterns are specific. The mature inside-the-Beltline neighborhoods carry decades of asbestos materials nobody signed up for. The vented crawlspaces over Triangle clay soil grow mold every summer. Hurricane remnants drop six inches of rain on Crabtree Creek twice a decade. We have thirty years of file cabinets full of exactly this work.
Whether you are an ITB homeowner who pulled up a corner of 9x9 tile and saw something suspicious, a property manager with a North Raleigh leak, or a Glenwood South GC mid-build, we are the licensed local team you call.
Most contractors in this market specialize in one category. We cover all four, which means a single point of contact when a project crosses lines — and most projects do.
Four conditions show up in our Raleigh files more than anywhere else we work. They drive most of the loss patterns we see across the city.
A large share of Raleigh's inside-the-Beltline neighborhoods — Cameron Park, Hayes Barton, Mordecai, Five Points — were built or expanded between 1955 and 1978. That window almost guarantees popcorn ceilings, 9x9 vinyl floor tile with black mastic, and pipe-wrap insulation that contain asbestos. We see it every week. The fix is licensed abatement, not a contractor's drop cloth.
Raleigh sits in a humid subtropical zone — summers above 70 percent relative humidity for months at a time. Add a vented crawlspace over Triangle clay soil and you have the exact conditions mold needs. Most of the largest colonies we remediate in this market are not behind drywall. They are under the floor, working their way upstairs through HVAC returns and the stack effect.
Raleigh is far enough inland that hurricanes arrive as tropical depressions, not category storms — but Florence, Matthew, and Ian all parked over Wake County and dropped six to twelve inches in two days. Crabtree Creek floods. Walnut Creek floods. Older slab homes near Glenwood South and Five Points take basement and crawlspace water more often than people realize. We respond same-day.
Glenwood South, Warehouse District, and the Five Points commercial corridors hold a lot of mid-century commercial stock now in second or third use. Restaurants and breweries inherit asbestos floor tile under the new bar build-out. Office buildings hold vermiculite insulation in original wall cavities. We handle the abatement on tight tenant-improvement timelines without shutting the rest of the building down.
Real reviews from homeowners and contractors across North Carolina.
“We bought a new to us 1964 home last December and to no surprise, we had asbestos popcorn ceilings. We decided to remove the ceilings altogether versus just scraping them. To complicate things even more, we had a plumbing leak in a room that had previously been encapsulated, so we had to deal with insurance to cover a portion of the asbestos removal. Rusty and the whole team at Remtech were such a help from the first moment we spoke! They were responsive, flexible, and knowledgeable. They helped us get insurance what they needed. They even worked with us to do the removal work while we had to be out of town. Asbestos removal and dealing with insurance, especially as we were brand new to the home, was incredibly stressful. Working with Remtech was the opposite – they were helpful and easy to work with that I barely had to think about the work being done. It was a nice break for my brain! They also did a great job. We came home to a CLEAN house with no ceilings! While I’m hoping we never have to go through such a big project again, I know we’d be able to handle it because we can rely on Remtech.”
“Very fast, professional and responsive. Did floor asbestos abatement for our house for a very reasonable price and they were very quick to schedule to keep us within our very close timeline.”
“As a General Contractor specializing in Bathroom & Kitchen remodel, we complete in excess of 250 bathroom upgrades each year. Regardless of our remodeling and construction experience and capabilities, when it comes to addressing the unforeseen hazardous and environmental conditions posed by mold, asbestos, and lead paints, we have a responsibility to our customers to partner with the best abatement specialist possible, and as proficient in abatement as we are kitchen and bath remodeling. Remtech has proven to be that reliable and trusted partner for both our customers and company. We highly recommend the Remtech Team.”
“A few months ago I used Remtech Envir. to remove asbestos from the ceiling of my home, and to this day I’m still amazed with their service that I’ve been meaning to write a review, and today’s the day! The whole process went through so smoothly because of their professionalism, punctuality and care. At the end of each day I received an update from Rusty who was the project manager which was super helpful, and because of their expertise I knew the job was getting done correctly. There was a lot of asbestos to remove, and they showed up and delivered hard work to get it done within the time frame that was initially discussed. So grateful we used their services! I would highly recommend!”
“Our church basement flooded and the old asbestos tiles curled up and had to be removed. Jeff Brewer came over to look at our problem, explained what they would do. He furnished a quote very quickly with a fair price. After checking with two other companies, Jeff’s instructive conversation, ease of manner, willingness to help and a fair price won him the work. As a former contractor, I know how backed up companies can be in their schedule. He told us of a target time about 4-6 weeks off, which was fine. He called a couple of weeks later and had an opening in his schedule and wanted to come earlier. That was great. Their staff arrived on time and delivered a very quick, professional and clean project. This allowed us to get our Fellowship Hall floored and back in operating condition prior to the start of the school year. It is a pleasure to work with a company that communicates well and delivers their service in a superior way.”
“I have spoken with Bryan on many occasions about growth strategy. He has always been open to communicate. I look forward to future conversations.”
“Remtech came in and did a removal of asbestos when our home developed a leak and the sheetrock ceiling had to be removed. Got right to work, kept us informed every step of the way and did a great job of cleaning up. Would use them again in a heart beat!!”
“The cost was higher than expected, so I did not move forward at that time. I will use Remtech when I am ready to have the work done. They are very professional and take the time to answer any questions. The rep arrived on time, explained the process and provided the estimate. A very positive experience.”
