Q: Can I paint over lead paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over lead paint, or &ldquo;encapsulate&rdquo; it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-options-do-i-have-remove-lead-paint.htm">lead paint removal method</a> as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an &ldquo;encapsulant&rdquo; from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.</p></div>

Q: What regulations govern lead removal procedures?

• <div><p>Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.</p></div>

Q: What trash can I not dispose of myself?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-properly-dispose-old-house-paint.htm">Disposing of old paint</a>, bleach, oil, and fertilizer should be handled by a company that specializes in this kind of waste. Many private junk removal companies do not dispose of these items. Because these materials are hazardous to the environment and dangerous to handle or dispose of improperly, you should confirm with your local municipality about places to take hazardous materials for safe disposal. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to remove lead paint?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How long does lead dust stay in the air?

• <div><p>When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible</p></div>

I am so happy with their work. They showed up on time, also providing me an exact arrival time and went straight to work. They did a tremendous job cleaning up and removing leaves. I will hire them again next year!

"Isaac &amp;amp; his crew were very professional. Arrived right on time and removed a 50 foot cottonwood in just over an hour. They made sure the yard was cleaned up, even beyond my expectations. I would certainly recommend them to anyone needing landscape work and or tree removal. I am also having them come back later this fall to remove the stump and clean up roots that have surfaced in the yard. Thanks Isaac for a great job done!! :)"
