Alexander Ramsey · Founder & Principal
Builder. Environmental Professional. Restorer.
I'm a builder and environmental services professional with hands-on experience in remodeling, restoration, and reconstruction.
My work has always centered on understanding how buildings work, figuring out what's wrong, and finding the right way to repair them. Whether I'm investigating moisture intrusion, planning a remediation project, or reconstructing a damaged space, I focus on understanding the conditions, getting the facts, and delivering a practical solution.
At EnviroHandy, I bring together decades of family experience in environmental services with my hands-on experience in remodeling, construction, restoration, and reconstruction.
Environmental Investigation, Remediation & Restoration
EnviroHandy brings property investigation and corrective work together.
We help property owners understand environmental and building-related concerns, identify underlying conditions, and determine what needs to happen next. When work is necessary, we can carry it through—from remediation and material removal to repairs and reconstruction.
Understand the problem. Explain what needs to be done. Do the work right.
Founder & Principal · EnviroHandy
Alexander Ramsey
I'm a second-generation environmental services professional and builder. My experience spans environmental testing, mold remediation, demolition, remodeling, repairs, and reconstruction.
In 1990, my family was involved in the early development and application of environmental measurement methods, including radon measurement. I grew up around this industry and developed an appreciation for the investigation and practical knowledge required to understand what's happening inside a building.
My parents later established RTS Environmental Services in Maryland, providing radon testing, lead-based paint inspections, and asbestos sampling throughout the Washington metropolitan area.
Alongside environmental work, I've gained hands-on experience in demolition, remodeling, repairs, and reconstruction. I've learned what it takes to remove damaged materials, rebuild affected spaces, and carry a project through to the finished work.
Today, I'm directly involved in EnviroHandy's inspections, assessments, reporting, project planning, and field operations. My remodeling and reconstruction experience helps me plan corrective work with a clear view of what it takes to restore a property.
I founded EnviroHandy to carry forward my family's work while building something of my own: an environmental services and restoration company grounded in field experience and honest workmanship.
Our Roots
A Family History in Environmental Services
EnviroHandy builds on a family history that began with environmental measurement and testing and continues today through investigation, remediation, and restoration.
Robert Ramsey — Environmental Measurement
My grandfather, Robert Ramsey, co-developed an early electret ion chamber instrument used to measure radon. His work helped establish our family's connection to understanding environmental conditions inside buildings.
Paul & Michelle Ramsey — Founders
My parents, Paul and Michelle Ramsey, established RTS Environmental Services in Maryland. The company provided residential radon testing, lead-based paint inspections, and asbestos sampling for homeowners, real estate professionals, and property owners throughout the Washington metropolitan area.
How We Work
Understand the problem. Explain what needs to be done. Do the work right.
We believe clients should understand what's happening in their property, why it matters, and what their options are before committing to a project.
Understand the Property
Every project starts with understanding the building and the concerns being reported. We use visual assessments, moisture measurements, and laboratory testing when appropriate.
Explain What We Find
We document relevant conditions, organize the findings, and explain what they mean. Our goal is to give property owners a clear understanding of the situation and their options.
Recommend the Right Work
Not every problem requires remediation, demolition, or reconstruction. We recommend work that addresses the documented conditions and fits the property.
Get the Work Done
When corrective work is needed, we can take the project further. From containment and material removal to remediation, repairs, and reconstruction, we focus on completing the agreed scope properly.
We focus on the work that helps restore the property properly.
