"Vernon did an inspection for lead and asbestos on a home we are purchasing in Kingston that we are planning to renovate extensively and live in with two small children. Both lead and asbestos posed risks that could be dealbreakers for us depending on exact specifics of location and extent. My husband is an architect who has to deal with these kinds of inspections routinely while rehabbing old buildings. We were super crunched for time, meeting with multiple inspectors and contractors at the home in a single day. We needed someone who could just do the inspection thoughtfully and make decisions about what was necessary vs. unnecessary without us having to micromanage or weigh in on every sample. Vernon was just the ticket. We had discussed prior to the inspection that we wanted to ideally get assurances about the materials behind wood paneling being lead free but obviously we couldn’t take the paneling down to get readings on a house we don’t yet own. He assured us that using the XLR device would give us some certainty about lead content in what whatever was behind. Vernon was able to squeeze us into his schedule quickly. He showed up and did almost two hundred readings with the XLR device, meticulously tracked in a report he sent a few days later. We got a lot of positives for both lead and asbestos. He really thought through what was necessary and what would give us inconclusive information, so he saved us a little money by only doing readings that were actionable. His quick turnaround and methodically documentation helped us meet the deadline to submit the report to the sellers. It gives us great leverage with this info to negotiate and come to a reasonable division of financial responsibility for the repair work necessary to make this home safe for future occupants during the final weeks before closing. This is saving us a huge potential liability and surprise bill down the line. This is a seller’s market and one of the top ways buyers are getting the short end of the stick is by having to assume risks that sellers push them to abandon inspecting with the threat of just going with another bid. Acting quickly with good hired experts like Vernon buys you back a better position in a tough market. Well worth every penny."

"Ronaldo and his team did an exception job. They went beyond the expected in everyway. They worked neatly, showed up on time and did great work. They are especially skilled at caulking and repair work. They transformed old and beat up rooms into fresh, clean and beautiful spaces. I have dealt with many contractors over the years and A and A ranks at the top. I give them my complete recommendation."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.

Lead exposure poses serious health risks, particularly for children, and can be present in paint, pipes, and soil.

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: 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).

2. Listed Wastes: 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.

3. Universal Wastes: 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.

4. Mixed Wastes: 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.

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.
