Great bath update experience . Had to remove a shower surround and install a tub; required removal and replace old drywall - and this 100 year old house is definitely not square. The finished job looks great. They also beautifully tiled the wall and installed new floor tiles to match the...
Outstanding. The owner personally came to my home and prepared the estimate. Very informal. As the buyer, ask lots of questions. We discussed alternatives in the event the floors under the carpet were not in a condition suitable for restoration. He provided cost estimates for both...
The Horton Remodeling crew did a very good job. They were able to go under the house to repair the subfloor and joists without ripping up all the hardwood floor. The carport area was handled well, with the posts cut down to the concrete pad and filled with cement, and the spa pump shed was...
Horton RemodelingHe hired subcontractors to do the work. The workers were ex-cons and were drinking on the job. They left a couple of boxes of trash in my yard. I told the girl when I paid the bill that it was left behind. She said someone would come to get it, but I clarified that they would need to call...
Washing machine would not stop filling with water and would not drain. It had overflowed earlier, prompting me to call Cook's. The service technician (Clint) came within just a few hours and had an idea of what the problem was based on the description. He quickly and competently confirmed...

"Lesson learned. Always get an estimate. BEFORE the work is done. At least a digital copy. Arrangements for the project were made, with some one named Lynn, for the company to send someone to complete the work. We were quoted over the phone 4500-5000 which included a mold test. A sub contractor with an entirely different company (National Mold Company) was sent. When the contractor arrived, he stated that the job would be much more simpler than first thought. This led us to believe that the job would cost less, no. All said and done, they charged $5500. All said and done, it's almost like no work was done. The stains and the smell are still there. Only one actual board was taken upon the attic room. The ceiling in the bedroom was primed and painted but are still visible and have a funky smell. At this point I'm going to. Do what we should have done; Do the job ourselves. Just now with $5500 less dollars in our pockets. A detailed receipt was not given even though it was requested."

Lead paint removal costs about $3,600, ranging from $1,500 to $5,800, depending on several factors, such as square footage, removal method, and its location in your home. Keep in mind that lead paint removal costs $8 to $17 per square foot, ensuring a permanent and maintenance-free fix.
Additional cost factors for lead paint removal include:
Location
Materials and equipment needed
Disposal method
Accessibility
Surface types
Repairs needed
Labor
Professional lead-paint abatement companies use a variety of methods to remove lead-based paint, depending on each particular situation. Some of the most common methods include:
Total removal: $8–$17 per square foot
Demolition and replacement: $1,000–$15,000 per project
Encapsulation: $4 per square foot
Enclosure: $10 per square foot
Chemical stripping: $10–$17 per square foot
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
A professional lead paint removal company should remove any lead-based paint from your home. You should not remove or paint over it yourself because handling lead-based paint poses health risks, according to the EPA. Professionals trained and certified to handle lead-based paint abatement use specialized equipment like HEPA vacuums and methods like chemical stripping and abrasive blasting to remove paint and particles as safely as possible. They are also trained on how to properly dispose of lead-based paint material.
