Customers say: Quick response

"I requested a quote for lead abasement for exterior paint on a house I want to buy. First-rate construction took the time during an initial phone call of explaining options for dealing with the lead paint along with some general estimates. They are definitely well qualified in dealing with toxic substances. I did not hire because the house seller did not want to address the lead paint issue."

"Very well. After the water damage, we didn't know what to do next. New Day Services came into the picture, guided us step-by-step, fought to get the line items in our claims vigorously, and helped us oversee the repairs needed to ensure that our home was repaired to 100% satisfaction."

"Atlanta Basements LLC impressed us right away with their responsiveness in getting us a quote and tentative design. They returned our call the SAME DAY, visited us the following weekend, and got a quote to us a week after that. We tried 2 other companies prior to Atlanta Basements LLC; the first company took 2 weeks more than estimated to get us a quote, and we never heard back from the second one. The work got started a little late, but once started it went very fast. Communication was top-notch; they send Google Calendar invites for when they expect specific work to be done (framing, pluming, electrical, etc.) and update the calendar when things don't go as planned. The company puts a lock on your basement door and locks themselves out of the rest of your house, so they can get contractors in to do work when you're away from home (at work, etc.) My wife and I would come home and checked progress every evening, sometimes they were still there working. When they were not there and we had questions, the project manager ALWAYS answered his phone to discuss the work being done (again, top-notch communication). There were hiccups and issues, but the company always did what they could to make things right. For example, we had an extra programmable thermostat that we supplied in place of their non-programmable standard offering. Unfortunately, one of their contractors walked off with it. The Atlanta Basements project manager made sure he got us another (programmable) one installed. There were also small repairs that the project manager handled, at no extra charge! We asked for quotes to fix them, and in some cases he just took care of them. The price was a little more than we were expecting to pay, but we upgraded a few fixtures, carpet, and tile from the standard offerings (which increased the price), and after seeing the finished product, we are really happy. Some advice to anyone finishing their basement: it REALLY helps to know what you want. Have as much detail as possible. Put tape on the floor where you want the walls to go; draw pictures of any built-in shelves you want made. Study drawings and mock-ups that the contractors send you, and provide feedback early. It's much easier to change lines on a drawing than it is to knock down a finished wall. And listen to advice of the experts; they have done this before a few times."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it’s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.

Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you’re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint’s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.

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 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.

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.
