“Each asbestos project is handled in accordance with OSHA and state laws, ensuring maximum protection for both building occupants and crew members.”

As a pioneer, Alpine Environmental has built a stellar reputation over the past three decades. Based in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, Alpine Environmental has consistently provided top-tier services in lead paint abatement, mold remediation, asbestos removal, and historic restoration preparation. With a foundation rooted in safety, respect, and innovation, the company has become a trusted partner for homeowners, contractors, municipalities, and preservationists across New England.

Founded with a mission to make indoor environments healthier and safer, Alpine Environmental was an early adopter of sustainable and safe remediation practices—long before “green” became an industry buzzword. From the beginning, the company placed a strong emphasis on treating each job site not just as a work zone, but as someone’s home, workplace, or treasured building. This sense of responsibility is what continues to define Alpine’s approach today. Every project is undertaken with care, from setting up containment systems to executing delicate removal procedures and conducting post-project cleanups that leave no trace of disruption.

Alpine’s service offering covers some of the most critical areas in the environmental field: lead paint removal, mold remediation, and asbestos abatement. These are highly regulated services that demand technical excellence and meticulous attention to detail. The company is fully certified and licensed, adhering strictly to EPA guidelines and state-specific regulations. Whether it’s working with a family to remove lead hazards in a century-old home or helping a commercial building eliminate hidden mold issues, Alpine brings a science-based, customer-focused approach to every job.

The company’s expertise in lead abatement has made it a go-to provider in a region where many buildings pre-date modern lead safety standards. Alpine works hand-in-hand with property owners, builders, and local governments to eliminate lead exposure risks safely and permanently. In mold remediation, Alpine goes beyond surface-level fixes, identifying the root causes of moisture and contamination to deliver long-lasting results. Its approach is systematic, beginning with assessment and containment and continuing through to cleaning, dehumidification, and post-remediation verification. When it comes to asbestos removal, Alpine brings a level of precision and discipline that is crucial in managing one of the most dangerous environmental threats. Each asbestos project is handled in accordance with OSHA and state laws, ensuring maximum protection for both building occupants and crew members.

One of Alpine’s most distinguishing qualities is its involvement in historic restoration projects. From colonial homes and historic churches to town halls and educational institutions, Alpine has provided critical remediation services in support of preservation efforts. These projects require not only environmental expertise but also a deep respect for architectural integrity. Historic buildings often contain a range of hazardous materials—lead-based paint, asbestos insulation, mold from prolonged humidity—and Alpine’s crews are specially trained to remove these hazards without damaging delicate structures or finishes. The team collaborates closely with preservation architects and contractors to ensure that buildings are both safe and true to their original form. This rare blend of technical ability and artistic sensitivity has made Alpine an essential ally in New England’s preservation community.

Client relationships are central to Alpine’s long-term success. The company is known for maintaining a clean, courteous, and communicative presence on job sites—values that are deeply ingrained in its culture. Crews arrive on time, provide daily progress updates, and leave each space spotless. The company understands that many of its projects take place in active homes, schools, or commercial facilities, and it works hard to minimize disruption and maintain trust throughout the process. This professionalism has helped Alpine foster long-standing partnerships with general contractors, property managers, and repeat clients who appreciate the company’s reliability and high standards.

To support its work, Alpine places a strong emphasis on employee training and industry compliance. Team members undergo regular continuing education and certification programs in lead safety, mold protocols, asbestos handling, and general construction safety. The company holds EPA Lead-Safe Certification, OSHA HAZWOPER training, and all relevant state licenses. Beyond this, Alpine is often recognized for its contributions to public education and community outreach on environmental safety issues. By sharing its expertise through workshops and collaborations with local authorities, the company has helped raise awareness about indoor environmental hazards and how to address them responsibly.

In recent years, Alpine has embraced innovation and sustainability as guiding forces for its future growth. The company continues to invest in eco-friendly equipment, digital project management tools, and energy-efficient remediation methods. As the environmental services landscape evolves, Alpine is also expanding its partnerships and project scope, working with a growing number of contractors and developers who value both environmental compliance and a commitment to preserving architectural heritage.

Through its unwavering focus on quality, integrity, and customer care, Alpine Environmental has earned its place as a premier provider in the remediation industry. Whether removing lead from a Victorian-era residence, eliminating mold from a modern home, or preparing a historic library for restoration, Alpine brings a rare combination of technical precision and human-centered service to every job. The company’s longevity and continued growth are a testament to its core values: safety, respect, and a deep responsibility to both people and place.
