"Michael Kuretich thoroughly tested the inside and outside of the house for lead paint. He took many samples from linoleum glue (black tar) on different surfaces and had them tested for asbestos. He came back a few times and tested the air after the removal of lead-containing bathroom tiles and flooring that contained asbestos in the glue. He did not charge me for one of his visits and inspections. His price is really fair while maintaining quality. He is knowledgeable ang gives sound advice. I used one of the companies he recommended for lead and asbestos removal and I was very happy with their work as well.
Another company listed with Angie's List wanted much more for the same service. When I asked why, he said that is the price for and quot;wall-to- wall testing.and quot; Please watch out for crooks.
I highly recommend him.

"Ron was absolutely wonderful and immediately allayed any fears I had concerning the mold remediation. When I first called him, he spent a considerable amount of time explaining about mold and his protocol in examining a site. After explaining that he uses the EPA guidelines in his recommendations for remediation, I knew I had the right man for my needs. He completely examined the affected area, took lab samples and sent me his very detailed preliminary report containing the treatment recommendations and a separate report with the lab results. Because this was for a rental unit with two small children within the family of occupants, I knew I had to be thorough and careful in my treatment approach. Ron gave me complete confidence in moving forward with a treatment plan. He very generously offered to guide the workmen I had hired to do the job so that the treatment would be done properly. I not only took him up on his offer, but arranged to have final lab testing done after treatment to make sure there was nothing left to cause future problems. Ron is completely professional, very knowledgeable and most generous with his time and professional support. He will be my only go to man for mold analysis and treatment recommendations. Highly recommend! ***UPDATE*** 1/17/11 When work was finally commenced on the property Ron had done testing on 1/7/11, the contractor thought he found another potential mold area behind the wall where the water damage had originated. Anxiously and in a near panic, I contacted Ron on Sunday 1/16/11 for his guidance on how to approach the problem. Ron guided the workman on what to do by phone, and then about an hour later came out to take a lab sample which ultimately came back clean. No mold was found behind the wall, by the way. All this on a football playoff Sunday! Ron is so awesomely superior in his service that he blows away the competition. He not only saved me thousands over a bid I had received from a mold remediation company for the job, but gave superlative support through the entire process. Before you spend thousands on a suspected mold remediation project, give Ron a call first. You will get an HONEST evaluation of your problem that just may save you thousands without tearing apart your house, but if it turns out that this is necessary - and he'll give you the no bull assessment - you can rest assured that Ron will give you outstanding guidance through the process to a clean finish."

"They did a wonderful job and I couldn't be happier. They came out the next day and finished the job in the promised time. They came in on time every morning and stayed on task and got it done as promised. They cleaned up after they left and were most professional in every way. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely hire them again if ever needed."

"In December 2009 we discovered mold in an upstairs bedroom closet.  We found Circle Vision Construction on Jen's List, where Frank Colbert was highly recommended.  From day one, Frank managed all aspects of the mold remediation and subsequent reconstruction.  He negotiated with the insurance company, who paid him directly so we didn't have to deal with any payments.  His staff was polite, clean and extremely efficient.  We experienced none of the contractor issues we hear from friends and colleagues.  He brought in a top notch designer, who was covered within the insurance funds.  All rooms involved were torn out, down to the studs.  We remodeled the upstairs bath, adjacent bedroom, powder room and laundry room to custom home standards, all within the insurance funds.  This included hard wood floors, tile, custom cabinets for the baths and laundry room, granite, high end lighting fixtures and hardware. In additon, Frank arranged for wood floors to be laid and substantial interior and exterior painting including repair of our window trim, patio cover, and gazebo, which had suffered both termite and weather-related damage.  The project took about 6 months to complete and we were able to live in the home all through that time.  Throughtout that time, Frank was a constant presence, from overseeing his subcontractors, to performing hands on work, to taking us shopping to pick out hardware, tile, wood and granite.

In October 2010, a hot water pipe behind the wetbar in our family room burst requiring more mold remediation and complete reconstruction.  We called Frank immediately.  Again he negotiated with the insurance company, and we were able to lay hardwood floors, install custom cabinetry, and re-construct a pub-style bar with granite and wood and a built in refrigerator, all within the insurance funds. We worked with the same designer, who selected window treatments, sofa cushions, throw rugs and accessories to complete the look of the room.

We cannot recommend Frank Colbert more highly.  Frank's personal attention to his projects is unparalleled.  Frank has our permission to show you photographs of his work if you need more convincing.

"He was very prompt in coming and was very knowledgeable and helpful. They kept me informed that he was running behind and when he would be here which I appreciated and they did not keep us in the dark. I am considering contacting them in the future."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. 

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

Hazardous waste is waste that poses a threat to human or environmental health. This generally refers to waste that is flammable, corrosive, toxic, or reactive. To confirm if the waste you need to remove is considered hazardous waste, contact your local hazardous waste facility.

Several different measurements may be used to determine the amount of lead in water. The most common unit of measurement is micrograms per liter (µg/L), which is the same as parts per billion. Another measurement is milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is the same as parts per million.

Properties should be tested for lead every 2-3 years, especially if they are older, have undergone renovations, or show deterioration of paint or interior finishes.
