When remodeling our new home, we contacted Watkins to handle our interior demolition. Most of our dealings were with Bryn; he was incredibly knowledgable, helpful, and professional... keeping us abreast of our progress at every turn, consulting us when issues arose, and offering good recommendations for proceeding.

Watkins Environmental was top notch in every way. We did a popcorn ceiling removal on a vacation condo in Coronado California and the project was smooth and efficient in every way.
