"The call came from work and asked me to move as soon as I could. I hired Moving APT to hurry up the moving process. They were just brilliant. I think some levels of trust are really needed between the client and the moving company because essentially you are entrusting them with everything you own. The movers were very good at building trust. They listened to me, paid attention to packing and carried everything with extra caution. Even the guy on the phone when I first called them seemed very friendly and polite. I felt very comfortable leaving my valuables in their hands for 3 days. When they delivered everything on the due date, there was no harm caused to anything at all. Turns out these men are the best in business and hiring them was a no brainier."
"They did an amazing job cleaning up our yard. Very affordable, great communication, and professional. I would definitely recommend them and I will use their services again!"
"Very prompt, knowledgeable, and professional. We are happy with the worked performed and would recommend using JJs precision excavating. We plan to use them in the future!"
"Very professional, cleaned up our Mom's yard, gutters of pine needles- yard looks great!! Will definitely be calling on Rick in the future to take care of my Mom's yard. We highly recommend J&R Handyman Service."
"Matt is very punctual, does a fast but thorough job and as such saves me money overall. I highly recommend him and will be a client of his for the foreseeable future."
"Moving is stressful, and I am so blessed to find a company that was more family to me. I appreciate the time, patience and understanding of my stress. They outlined next steps with compassion. I'm am still unpacking, and it comes with ease as they made sure the boxes, furniture went to the right rooms. I highly recommend this team! Thank you Sun Valley Movers, AKA: Family"
The best way to remove lead paint is by wet hand sanding and removing all dust and residue with a HEPA vacuum. Professionals may also strip and scrape lead-based paint with a paint scraper. In some cases, you may choose to have a pro encapsulate or enclose your lead-based paint surface by covering it with a sealant or a new material. You may also choose to replace the material altogether.
You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it’s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.
If your roof was constructed between 1930 and 1970, there’s a possibility that the shingles contain asbestos. If that’s the case, you should hire a professional for repairs and replacement, as they’ll have the necessary equipment to stay safe from such a hazardous and cancer-causing substance. If your home was constructed after this period, it’s unlikely that the shingles in place are toxic. In most cases, asbestos shingles are not recyclable, while standard asphalt shingles are recyclable.
You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.
Lead removal services typically cost between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the extent of lead presence, the property size, and the complexity of the abatement process.
