One contractor said they could run the test but it would take 3-4 days and cost $500-600. What?! I looked up DIY test kits. Those seem to take weeks and are somewhat unreliable. So I checked for abatement companies and Hawaii Analytical Laboratory popped up in the search. While not an abatement company, they ARE a local, accredited lab that does same-day asbestos testing (among many others) for a very reasonable price.
Luckily they were open during the pandemic lockdown and were so very helpful. They explained their prices and what kind of samples to grab. They also suggested putting up plastic sheeting to minimize any disturbance of the area.
So I donned my asbestos haz mat mask (yes, I actually have one of those), put my samples in ziploc bags and headed to the lab.
The building was unsurprisingly deserted. I expected a tumbleweed to blow by as the theme from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" played in the background. The woman I spoke to on the phone met me at the door. She carefully and patiently explained the entire process to me and she helped me consolidate my mess of ziploc bags into nice, cohesive samples. She explained the options based on how soon I needed the test results. The 1-2 hour being the most expensive and 4-6 hours being the next. I opted for the1-2 hour response so I'd still have some fingernails left, plus an abatement contractor was headed over shortly.
And about 1.5 hours later, I got the (unfortunately bad) news. If I hadn't found them, I would have been waiting for days and paid $600. Instead, I had a nearly immediate result for a very small fraction of the cost.
And it is a woman-owned company in what I would guess is a male-dominated field. How cool is that?
So thank you Hawaii Analytical Laboratory! Service above and beyond!

They have tiered testing rates based on how soon you need results ($18 for 2 wk results to $95 for 2 hour results). They called and emailed us the test results in 3 hours.
It is worth the time to test on your own instead of being tested by a mold or asbestos remediation company. One company said they could test at the jobsite for $500!!
