"William and his crew were punctual, courteous, and professional. William walked me through the process for the work, inspected the areas he needed to access, and answered all my questions with enthusiasm which made me feel respected as a customer. They worked diligently and when the whole job was complete, including air quality testing, he walked me through for approval. I truly think my basement was left cleaner than before they started. I had nothing to clean up, throw out, or pick up after they were done. I am so pleased I used BlueStone for my Asbestos removal project and their pricing was right in line with a competitor. Thank you!"

"This is a high quality mold/fungi/fungus testing company, with excellent customer service and follow-up. The phones were picked up on the first call each time, and arranging for an appointment was very easy. They arrived on time, were efficient, informing, and friendly in their work, and brought commercial equipment to perform the test samples. The follow up phone call and email on the test results was good, and they provided a potential remediation plan for us to follow on the test results. The third party lab utilized by them had easy to understand numbers, graphs, and descriptions of what was tested. We will do business with Gardner Services again in the near future, and will recommend them to others."

"I THOUGHT THAT THE WORK WAS A LITTLE SLOPPY. THE BINDING AGENT USED ON THE PIPES WAS SPRAYED ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND WALL. I FELT A LITTLE MORE TIME TO COVER AREAS NOT BEING SPRAYED SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN."

"The work was done neatly and professionally.   Tyler seems to pride himself on his work as he touches up every last detail until it is absolutely perfect.  He is very trustworthy and I did not hesitate to leave him in my home alone to work while we were away.    Tyler has done other work for us from a simple room painting, to a an elaborate stucco textured dining room.  He refinished an Ethan Allen coffee table our children had destroyed.  He even does odd jobs, like cabinet repair, and drapery rod hanging.   From the simple to the complex, I could count on him to not just do the job, but complete the job to perfection.  His pricing was no more than some inexperienced cheaper men I had hired in the past that never completed anything perfectly.  I cannot find any spots of his work that have any imperfections.   Have you gone through painters like I have, either because too expensive or shoddy workmanship?  Once you hire Tyler, you will never hire a different painter again.  Enough said!

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.

Results from professional lead testing are typically available within a few days to a week (2-7 days), depending on factors like laboratory processing times and the volume of samples being analyzed. Expedited services may also be available for urgent situations.

The average cost of a lead paint inspection is about $600, but it can cost as low as $150 or as much as $800, depending on the size of the area, geographic location, and the inspection methods. Some of the most common lead paint inspection methods include:

  • Visual inspection: $150–$400

  • Paint sampling: $200–$600

  • X-ray fluorescence (XRF): $250–$700

  • Risk assessment: $300–$800

Lead testing prior to purchasing a property ensures that the new owners are informed about potential hazards, prevents health risks associated with lead poisoning, and facilitates timely remediation.

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.
