Client Testimonials
“Our company has had the opportunity to work with Larry on four projects over the last few years. Our first experience went well, so the next time we had a need he was the first person that I called. And even though subsequent properties were not within his normal territory, he did not hesitate to travel to our locations. What has made him stand out in our minds is that he was always upfront about what to expect. He would fully explain what he would do and not try to sell us things that he didn’t feel we needed. Even his out of territory charges were modest increases. His communication was straightforward and if questions arose he would call right away versus making assumptions as to what we might think. I would use Gem Environmental again and would recommend him to others."
Rick Divers – Vice President of Business Development, HD Fowler Company, Bellevue, Washington
“Rocky Mountain Companies has had the pleasure of working extensively with Larry and Gem Environmental. We have found Larry to be very professional and his work product has been accurate and very timely. Furthermore, his vast knowledge in his field has helped us navigate potential pitfalls as we reviewed properties."
Mike Fery, CEO, Rocky Mountain Companies, Boise
“With nearly two decades of commercial banking experience, one thing I have learned is quality and service far outweigh getting the best possible price. Thankfully with Larry Nodler, you get all three!! Larry is my go-to person for all things environmental. He is not only accurate, knowledgeable, and timely, but also a man of great integrity who looks out for my best interests AND those of my clients. I would recommend Larry again in a heartbeat, as I have found no better person for all my environmental needs."
Warren Kouba – Vice President & Senior Relationship Manager, Sunwest Bank, Boise
“I was referred to Larry by my real estate agent to conduct Phase I Environmental reports for a 1031 exchange. Our business has always been residential income and, thus, I was completely ill-equipped and unaware of the process and details of the needed reports for purchasing commercial property. Larry walked me through the process with exceptional patience and professionalism. His reports passed the scrutiny of the real estate agents, title officers, and lawyers who all commented on the thorough reports that met all of their requirements. After two more escrows and two more reports that all arrived before the dates promised, I am a lifetime member of the Gem Environmental fan club. Thank you for your great work, Larry!"
Dana Lopez – Managing Member, Lopez West Properties LLC, Napa, California

“I am writing to let you know how much I appreciated your efforts in completing our Phase I environmental site assessment for our recent land purchase, under my nearly impossible deadline!! As you recall, we were in the process of a quick closing and the Phase I was the one document that could delay the closing. You jumped on the project immediately for us, even though you were in the process of preparing for an out of town business trip, and got this done for us before you left. Also, I realize that some of your customers may not actually read your reports, but I do! Your attention to detail is evident in the records that you compiled for this report. We will be using this Phase I report as a resource tool for this property for many years to come. Thank you for your great service!”
