Q: Is exterior paint toxic after it dries?

• <div><p>Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you&rsquo;re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint&rsquo;s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove lead paint from floors on my own?

• <div><p>If your home was built before 1978, there&rsquo;s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint&mdash;especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The <a href="https://www.homeadvisor.com/cost/environmental-safety/remove-toxic-lead/">average price for professional lead paint removal ranges</a> from <b>$1,500 to $5,300 </b>and depends on the scope of the project.</p></div>

Q: What are the 4 categories of hazardous waste?

• <div><p>According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:</p><p>1. <b>Characteristic Wastes</b>: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).</p><p>2. <b>Listed Wastes</b>: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.</p><p>3. <b>Universal Wastes</b>: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.</p><p>4. <b>Mixed Wastes</b>: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to remove lead-based paint?

• <div><p>If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.</p></div>

Q: Can you sell a house with lead paint?

• <div><p>You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won&rsquo;t cause any problems later on.</p></div>

"David, the project manager that came out was phenomenal. The bathroom renovation had gone beautifully. I am giving David the highest grade because of his persistence and great attitude. He always made sure we are happy with the outcome and he wasn't going to leave till we said we love everything and I really appreciate that. Moreover he was personable, clearly took pride in his work and didn't leave until him and his crew thoroughly cleaned everything. Overall an excellent company and a great guy & team."

"Green NRG came to our house after we had 3 other quote. They were very knowledgeable and provided us with made in the USA product with micro inverters which other companies didn't offer. Using the micro inverters allowed us to install more panels on our roof and reduce our monthly bill completely. It took them about 3 week to process all the paperwork and start the installation.
Installation took 4 days. Now our system is working and our account with LADWP showing we have a credit of 300KW/h.
Everything their representative said happened and that means a lot to us. Green NRG offered us a great turf and drought tolerance landscape which cut our water bill in half. And the best part it cost us no more then $500 to do our whole front yard thank to LADWP turf removal program. Green NRG helped us reduce our monthly expenses on water and power by over $350 and that makes us very happy. I would recommend this company to anyone."
