co-op inspector recommendation?

KHD, this guy's very good, but on the expensive side. Might be overkill for something so specific:

Richard Casperian 516-782-6429

Malraux once recommended Larry Ubell at http://www.accuratebuilding.com/. Again, may be more than you need.

Others who've been mentioned to me are;

American Society of Home Inspectors 800-743-2744
CMC Professionals 516.623.5000 or 516.662.3300

Thanks! Although for some I reason missed your post and have been in touch with Heimer Engineers (who don't do asbestos testing). No body in this town seems to know anything about popcorn ceilings and asbestos and my fear is it will cost a small fortune to have it removed should it test positive.

Thanks again for your tips!
