What this listing says
Albuquerque homeowners dealing with overlapping hazards like asbestos and mold in the same property, where Erik and Clovis handle both under one scope with their own crew.
Best for
- Albuquerque-area homeowners who need mold remediation, asbestos removal, or both handled by one crew under one contract.
- Owners of pre-1980 homes in Bernalillo County facing renovation projects that may involve asbestos, lead paint, and hidden mold simultaneously.
- Property owners dealing with water damage who want the same company to handle extraction, drying, and any resulting mold remediation.
- Buyers or sellers who need post-remediation air quality testing documentation for a real estate transaction.
- Spanish-speaking homeowners in the Albuquerque metro — multiple reviews and the company's social presence indicate bilingual service.
About this company
NM Abatement LLC is an owner-operated environmental remediation firm based in Albuquerque, run by Erik Martinez and Clovis Martinez. Their primary identity is asbestos abatement — that is the company's original focus and what most reviewers hired them for — but they also handle mold remediation, lead paint removal, and water damage restoration. They do both testing and remediation, which means the same company that tells you there is a problem is the one you would pay to fix it.
On the mold side, their website describes containment with negative air pressure, HEPA filtration during cleanup, moisture detection using infrared imaging and moisture meters, and post-remediation air quality testing. They also handle the moisture source repair (plumbing leaks, roof issues) that caused the mold in the first place. For water damage, they offer emergency extraction, structural drying with dehumidification, and content restoration. The ability to move from water damage to mold remediation to asbestos removal on a single property is genuinely unusual — most companies specialize in one of these.
Erik and Clovis claim over 30 years of combined experience in environmental remediation. The company is EPA-certified for lead work and operates Monday through Saturday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Multiple reviewers mention competitive pricing and no-surprise billing. The team has grown to include field workers named in reviews — Ramon, Edgar, Leo, Akil, Edwin, Luis, Joao, and Irvin — suggesting a midsized crew.
A 4.9-star rating across 52 Google reviews is strong. Erik is named in the majority of positive reviews, and the praise is specific: same-day callbacks, willingness to answer questions at length, and staying on the job until the customer was satisfied. That said, a cluster of short, generic 5-star reviews appeared in early February 2026 from single-review accounts, which is worth noting.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico at 4374 Alexander Blvd NE Suite K-1. Their website lists service areas across the state including Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, Belen, Edgewood, Corrales, Las Cruces, Roswell, Farmington, Hobbs, Clovis, Carlsbad, Alamogordo, Gallup, South Valley, Sunland Park, and Chaparral. However, one reviewer in Las Cruces experienced repeated cancellations due to staffing shortages in that area, suggesting reliable service is concentrated in the Albuquerque metro and Bernalillo County.
Review consensus
Erik Martinez is the most frequently named person across all reviews. Reviewers praise his fast response times — multiple people say he called back the same day or came out immediately. He is described as patient with anxious homeowners, willing to explain the process in detail, and honest about pricing. Clovis Martinez is praised for project management and field supervision. Reviewers who had combo jobs (asbestos plus mold) note that the team handled everything in one scope. Several reviewers mention competitive pricing and no surprise charges. The field crew — Ramon, Edgar, Akil, Edwin, Leo, Luis, Irvin — gets consistent praise for punctuality and clean work sites. Joyce Bogosian and Olivina Chacon, both recent mold remediation customers, specifically praise on-time arrival and good communication during the project.
1 found across 52 total reviews at 4.9★. Jessica White Cason in Las Cruces was strung along for two weeks while trying to get a quote for asbestos remediation. She rearranged her work schedule three times for appointments that were canceled each time. On the final cancellation, she was told the company was too short-staffed to handle her project in the Las Cruces area — something she says they could have told her upfront. Erik was responsive by email, and the company offered to pass her quote to an El Paso contractor, but that felt like a weak consolation after three no-shows. The owner did not respond to this review.
The single negative is a staffing and logistics complaint, not a workmanship complaint — and it came from 225 miles outside the company's home base. This fits a pattern common in growing small firms: they list a wide service area on their website but cannot reliably staff jobs far from headquarters. The owner did not respond to this review, which is notable given that it is the only negative in the dataset. Separately, the February 2026 review cluster (roughly 15 short 5-star reviews in a 5-day window, mostly from single-review accounts, several in Spanish) is unusual in volume and timing. The detailed, credible reviews come from other periods.
Erik Martinez (owner/scheduling — overwhelmingly positive, named in 20+ reviews for responsiveness and patience). Clovis Martinez (owner/project manager — positive, praised for supervision and field knowledge). Adam (field tech — positive, praised for punctuality in website testimonials). Ramon (field crew — positive, praised for focused work). Edgar (field crew — positive, praised alongside Ramon). Leo (field crew — positive, praised for daily communication and punctuality). Akil (field crew — positive, praised for mold remediation work). Edwin (field crew — positive, praised alongside Akil). Joao (field crew — positive, praised for explaining options). Luis (field crew — positive, praised for quality work, named in Spanish-language reviews). Irvin (field crew — positive, praised for attention to detail on a small project).
Ask for Erik when you call — he is the person reviewers consistently credit for honest assessments and fast scheduling. If your property is outside the Albuquerque metro, confirm upfront that the crew can actually get to your location on the scheduled date. Get an independent mold test before or after their remediation work to sidestep the conflict of interest.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. This is a conflict of interest — the company identifying your problem profits from fixing it. Consider getting an independent mold inspection before or after their work.
- Their service area page lists locations across the entire state of New Mexico, from Farmington to Las Cruces to Carlsbad. Their only office is in Albuquerque. One reviewer in Las Cruces was canceled on three times before being told they were too short-staffed to serve that area. If you are outside the Albuquerque metro, confirm crew availability before scheduling.
- A cluster of roughly 15 five-star reviews appeared in early February 2026 from accounts with 1-2 total reviews. Many are very short and generic. This does not invalidate the company's overall record, but the organic, detailed reviews come from earlier periods.
- They list 24/7 emergency water extraction on their website, but posted business hours are Monday through Saturday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Clarify after-hours availability before relying on emergency response.
