History

In November of 2000,  owners Susan and Guy Sylvester purchased a small environmental testing laboratory in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, called Resource Laboratories LLC (RL). Over the next few years, the laboratory doubled in revenue by providing quality data, superior technical support and highly responsive customer service. 

 

In 2007, the owners launched Absolute Air Quality (AAQ), a new business division, to provide indoor air quality services to commercial and residential customers. This line of business was developed with firm adherence to regulatory and industry standards and certifications. Adding these services rounded out our offerings, and made us the "clean air, clean water and clean soil people".  

 

In January, 2011, the company was rebranded as Absolute Resource Associates (ARA). Since 2000, ARA has tripled in revenue, staffing and facility size, and is now well-known in the Federal, Commercial and Residential markets as one of the top environmental firms in New England.

 

Proudly serving New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
