"Is there any official inspection to ensure there is no asbestos or lead on your property?. In my price was included. We are Certified as a EPA Lead Renovator Initial. NOTICE: Older buildings may have lead paint present. Lead paint is a health hazard for both children and adults. New stricter EPA regulations are designed to ensure those contractors that disturb lead painted surfaces or targeted housing where children under 6 or pregnant women are present, due so in such a way that protects themselves and the inhabitants from lead poisoning. Certified renovators must perform any work that disturbs six square feet or more of interior lead painted surfaces (20 square feet or more on the exterior). The new rule, which becomes effective in April 2010, requires only EPA certified individuals to perform this work. Contractor is broad term that could include a number of various trades people that may work on the target pre-1978 built homes and buildings. These may include: pest control operators, plumber, electrician, handyman, renovator, mason, carpenter, painter, hvac contractor, remodeler and others. Those contractors and trades people not following the new guidelines can face a fine of $32,500. Contractors and property owners need to know that if a residential property was built prior to 1978, there is a good chance it contains some lead paint. Before any work is performed that may disturb painted surfaces, a contractor is now required to provide this pamphlet - www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/renovaterightbrochure.pdf. On April 22, 2010, all contractors performing work on pre-1978 "target" homes and buildings must be certified by the EPA. On-Site Inspections is a Certified Renovation company and will adhere to EPA guidelines on any work contracted for. This can increase estimates for repair not included in the work authorization contract due to the nature of containment requirement for the safety of exposure to lead. If you are doing any work yourself as a do it yourself project, there is some good information on lead paint hazards at www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/renovation.htm or http://cfpub.epa.gov/flpp/searchrrp_firm.htm"

I found the charges to be reasonable. He has a very hard working crew that did a first rate job.
I had gotten another bid on the job and simply stated, Miguel saved us thousands of dollars. If you want a 1st class job, Miguel will do it for you. I might add, that when I was shopping for someone to do the work, I looked for a contractor can do electrical,
plumbing and general construction. I didn?t what the work subbed out. This allowed the project to be completed in the time
estimated.
I was amazed reading the negative comments posted and only assume that the folks either didn?t care about the quality of the work they wanted or simply wanted the work done for free. I might add that I think I am easy to work with and don't have unreasonable expectations. I also believe that folks are entitled to fair pay for a job well done.
He also at one point said we should discuss things with my spouse. Guess what...I am a single woman who owns her own house. I was sorry to tell him that there was no spouse and he could discuss things with me. I have to say, his comments came across as very condescending and arrogant. Maybe he did not mean it that way, but that was how I felt.
Towards the end of his visit, he then instructed me to write everything down on an email that I had told him and email it to him. Once again, really? The other two contractors came and actually took thorough notes while they talked to me. Neither asked me to type it all up for them. This man did not take down a single note. Sorry sir, I am not your secretary!
His company seemed to have really good reviews on Angie's List. I have no idea why he was so crazy off with me. Perhaps he did not want the business. He kept telling me how his company did large jobs, not small ones. Perhaps a remodel of a kitchen, dining room, laundry room, two bathrooms and a buiding of a deck was not considered a large job to him.
In the end, I would NEVER recommend this contractor to anyone, sorry to say.

I wish you good luck with another professional contractor who may be able to help you."
"I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. We informed you that we are not interested in your project."
"Still waiting for your answer."
Miguel ultimately determined that the repairs were not required at this time (floor joist metal bracket repairs), and we are good to go.
I thought Miguel was very forthright and honest, and also took the time to give me some pointers about other finding on the inspection report. He is very professional and I would definitely reach out to him again in/when necessary.

Then he went on to check peeling exterior paint, signs of settling in interior common areas, the condition of the roof, and interior signs of water damage under the roof. In all cases he gave an evaluation of what he found, made recommendations for remedial work, but recommended that we find a specialized contractor (roofer, painter) and keep costs down rather than make it into a bigger project suitable for ACT General Building Construction.
He did a thorough job even though he realized early on that he wouldn't make a cent from us. Instead, he made a friend. I'll certainly ask him to look at any significant construction job we may have in the future.
As my rating notes, he was slow to return phone messages and I had to follow up a couple of times, but that didn't leave me with a negative overall impression of his professionalism.

We were on a very tight schedule to get the work completed, but the schedule slipped several times. This was a major problem as he wasn't the only contractor doing work and there were dependancies. He did finally complete it in time and we were able to move in when we wanted to.
