Asbestos abatement near Lebanon, Lancaster, Reading PA

Anyone have a recommendation for a licensed asbestos-removal contractor in the Lebanon, Lancaster, Reading PA area?

I've got some asbestos pipe lagging in a (tenant-inaccessible) basement.  However, it's become a problem in the way of finishing a bathroom remodel.   The workers ran into a wrapped pipe when they opened up the floor and want it abated before continuing.

They got me a quote of $16k to remove all the lagging in the basement, maybe a hundred feet or two... which seems high for what should be a relatively straightforward job.  I thought this would be more in the small thousands range.  Should I adjust my expectations?  Any points of comparison here?  I wonder if this abatement firm might be focused on commercial and not small-time residential like me.
