"Perfectly, Robert showed up exactly on time. He was able to open the realty lock box and enter the vacant home several minutes before the real estate agent arrived. Roobert performed all of the inspection requirements plus several additional things that were not part of the normal inspection procedure. He made sure everything was in operating order. The inspection report was promptly delivered, by internet, within 24 hours of the inspection, including clear photos of all rooms and fixtures. Nothing was left for only written interpretation."

"They are a Great Company, they have been very helpful through out the my entire process at a time when we really needed it. We had some water leakage in an ac closet that was causing the wooden floor to rot. Technicians came to my house just minutes after I called. They came with all their machines and we began the drying out process. I highly appreciate how efficient and prompt these people are. I believe they are the best company out there for this kind of work and more. They were very professional and I would definitely call and recommend them to anyone. Thank you!"

"Both ladies were very friendly and professional. However it was hard for me to feel 100% at ease because at times they appeared unknowledgeable or asking each other about proper use of their equipment. They did come out fast to my property when another appointment I had with a mold tester fell through.

"The project started out as just building a new wood deck with railing. Then I told Emo I wanted. 10' by 2' shelf under the deck next to the jacuzzi structure for my cats to be able to escape bad weather. I wanted them protected and off the ground. The dirt ground was already covered with rock and I wanted the top deck slates to have some sort of caulking so the water would not drip thru to the shelf underneath. I expected to get grief for doing this, but Emo thought it was a great idea and carefully followed my directions. Of course once you start one project it leads to another. The deck is attached to the jacuzzi structure and Emo noticed that the wood columns supporting the gazebo were rotting. When he removed the wood it disclosed a steel post that had rusted totally thru at the bottom lending no support to the roof of gazebo. We figured the other 3 supports must also be in bad shape. He then replaced those and suggested we add two more for better support. Their work was exceptional and all our demands were met and their suggestions were professional and improved the total outcome. He and his crew were easy to work with as I only speak English and have trouble understanding Latinos. We will definitely hire them for our next job.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. 

Costs depend on the number of samples, testing method, lab fees, and whether on-site inspections are required.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

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.
