"Evan was very helpful and professional. He ensured I had all the information about the testing process and answered all of my questions. He was also very friendly and honest with me about the work that has been done on my house and any future work to be done. As soon as I have a new project I will be reaching out to him directly and can’t recommend him enough!"

"The work that Dave’s company performed was great with the exception of the living room, that ended up being mid-matched. Dave’s crew let me know that because of this they would paint the whole living room. They asked me to call and set up an appointment and I did. The day came and nobody showed up. I called Denise and she stated her crew called in sick and they were leaving town the next day. She would have Dave call me. He didn’t, so I txt him the following week and he called and said it would be more money, which it shouldn’t as I was previously told they mid-matched it so they would make it right. He was supposed to call later in the week and never did. I find though everyone was nice, the professionalism was lacking. I would not use again because of this."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

No, a standard home inspection includes the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.

No, you can’t place hazardous waste in a dumpster unless you specifically ordered a dumpster for hazardous waste removal. If the dumpster company finds hazardous waste that it didn’t approve for dumping, the company will return the waste to you, and you’ll likely face a fine for illegal dumping.

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.

Determining if your water main contains lead involves a few steps. First, check the age of your property, as homes built before the 1980s might have lead pipes. Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

If lead is detected in a property, steps should include arranging for professional removal or containment, notifying all occupants, and implementing interim safety measures to reduce exposure.
