"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!"

"If you have mold or need water restoration, this is the ONLY business you need to call !!! I am a Realtor and recently listed a home that was found to have a huge mold problem in one bedroom closet. Christopher and his team were so professional, they came out, did their testing and found the issues. They provided estimates, scheduled the work to be done and remediated the mold - most importantly they showed up when they were expected to show up !!! And any questions that we had throughout the process were answered quickly so that we could continue getting the house fixed. They provided a clear air test afterwards allowing me to get the property sold and give the new buyers a healthy home!!!! Thanks Christopher!! You were awesome and I have now added you to my Preferred Vendor list in case I have any other clients needing your services !! You Rock!!!"

"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."

"Tom always discussed each project with us beforehand, estimated hours and materials, and completed the work in the timeline he committed to.  He worked around our schedule; he always cleaned everything up as he went; and he did all of the work with minimal disruption to our family of four.  He invoiced very clearly, and with the detail we needed.  We found him personable, professional, and reliable, and we highly remcommend him.

"When my brand new refrigerator leaked and caused about fifteen thousand in damage to my kitchen, I called several reviewed companies. I got four estimates to remove the damaged cabinets and dry wall, and to dry out what was able to be saved. I chose Bella T because no matter how many questions I asked or what horrible 'what if' scenarios' I worried about, the staff at Bella T were confident, patient, and reassuring. They took my calls at night and on Sunday. They told me it would be okay, they would handle everything, and they were true to their word. Bella T worked directly with my insurance company. This was a huge relief to me as my husband was out of the country and I know nothing about construction. Their staff were so nice, one even baked me a cheese cake and gave it to me when the job ended! The first company that came out to assess the damage terrified me and told me all sorts of awful things with enormous costs. All of which turned out to be wrong. Thank goodness I continued to get estimates and found Bella T."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.

DIY kits are available for basic air quality testing, but professional services provide more comprehensive results and recommendations. While a DIY kit may seem cost-effective, a professional assessment is more thorough. Inspectors are better equipped to catch all pollutants and hazards, and you'll still need a professional to verify and act on DIY test results. Furthermore, some kits don't test for certain pollutants or only detect their presence without measuring specific levels (like mold spores). It's generally better to opt for a detailed professional assessment.

You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

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