"Horrible experience. I called Enrique to work on the remediation of mold due to a leak on Sept 20, 2023. He gave me a 10,000 price with insurance and said to me to email him my policy. He came back and said that I had a great coverage and that I need not to worry as their team deals directly with the insurance. I believe him because this Company had great reviews. My insurance is not paying because they overcharged excessively. Enrique ignores my calls and txts. They said is a hassle free service but is not true. If your insurance does not pay they will put a lien on your house. Run away!!! I recommend that you work with a Company that your insurance recommend or pay out of pocket and claim back to insurance. They will use all your coverage limit because their pricing is insane. They don't disclose the pricing by the way until the very end when is too late. As the mold spread to my son's room they added 20,000 to the price. I got this email today but is not the first one. They are threatening me to put a lien on my property. I had been through h*** with them. Dont make the same mistake Lina, Good afternoon. We submitted all final Invoices, pictures and documents for your claim on 09/27/2023. It has been over the 60 days that the Insurance company has to make a decision. When I spoke to your adjuster yesterday on the phone, he said the claim was still in review. He claimed that we should have charged closer to $10,000 total on each of your Mold Invoices. His reasoning for that was that we should have charged less because the homeowner, you, were going through a hard time. Unfortunately, that is not an acceptable reason nor is it compliant with any reasoning behind why a Mold Remediation Invoice should be for less money or not paid out for work we completed. So, I stated we have pictures and documents to back up all of our line item charges on our Invoices and he can speak to Pamela Brown our claims manager, to go over any line-item charges on your Invoices. Pamela has contacted and is still waiting to hear back from your adjuster. We are approaching 70 days since completion of your job. By around 80 days we need to file a lien against your property for the amount owed to us. If payment is not received by us by next Friday, we will be placing a lien on the property for the balance owed, as stated in your signed contracts and Florida law. Once we receive payment from you, we will satisfy the lien. Hopefully your adjuster will get in touch with Pamela soon and your Insurance company will make their payment determination. However, this does serve as notice that by next Friday, around 80 days from completion of job, we will be placing a lien on the property which will be satisfied immediately after payment is made.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Lead exposure poses significant health risks, including neurological, developmental, and behavioral disorders, especially critical in young children and fetuses.

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.

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. 

If your house was built before 1978 and you’re noticing cracking or peeling paint, a lead paint inspection is a good idea. A lead paint inspection gives you accurate information about the presence, location, and condition of lead-based paint in your home. This information is essential for making informed decisions about lead paint removal to ensure your safety and health and that of your family. If your inspector finds lead, you’ll need to take steps to manage or remove the lead-based paint and comply with laws and regulations.
