"This company is great at what they do. Used them twice. They helped removed asbestos tile and mold from my basement. They were quick, clean and most importantly got rid of the "bad stuff". They did such a good job the first time that I called them again when i unfortunately found mold in my crawl space. Both times eradicated all traces of mold. Would gladly use them a third time if needed!"

"Vernon responded immediately (in the evening) to the Home Advisor inquiry and he was available for lead paint testing and provided a report quickly for a city building permit. I hired him again for follow-up asbestos testing. I am thankful for his responsiveness (the permit process has been challenging) and feel confident that he is advising me on what is needed and not creating extra or unneeded work. Highly recommend."

"Needed paint lead tested and removed. Was a pleasure to do business with. Very straightforward and honest. Gave an accurate quote (which was less than the other quotes I got) and completed the work quickly and left the area cleaner than before work was started. Would hire again if needed in the future."

"We were selling our house and found out there was mold in the attic. Michael came out, told me what would need to be done (and just as importantly, what would not need to be done), checked to make sure the cause of the mold was gone and gave me an estimate that was below the other contractor I had out. Michael was able to schedule us relatively quickly which was important for the sale and Charter Oak's guys did a great job. They were respective of our home and cleaned up so well after themselves, you wouldn't know they had been there - except for the nice clean wood in the attic. There were some concerns from the buyer and Michael was willing to talk to them to explain what was done and why. Very happy."

"It went very well, they started on my preferred date and worked 6 days a week for 2 weeks to complete the job. I had expected it to take at least two weeks. They were punctual, polite, friendly, and thorough. It was 20 years since it was last painted so there was a lot of prep work that was needed. They also had to remove wallpaper from 6 rooms, prepare the surface, then repaint. I was very satisfied with the results."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.

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.
