"Marcos was friendly and fast, and flexible in scheduling. He and his crew did a great job for us in removing asbestos tiles from our basement flooring so we could have interior drain tiling installed. In the process, they also discovered some mold, which they were able to deal with at the same time. He came with a large crew, so they finished a large job very quickly. The space was well cleaned afterwards, and we received the necessary clearances. Highly recommend."

"Would absolutely work with them again, though I hope I won't need to. Michael was extremely helpful in the entire process of doing asbestos testing on the tile in my new(-to-me) home. Easy to schedule and work with, and he really took the time to answer my questions and make sure I had all of the information I needed. Excellent service."

"This was our second time working with ChiRenovation. A few years ago, they helped with finishing our basement and we were so happy with the results that when we were ready to give our scary porch a face lift into a proper three season room, we got in touch. Ron was our project manager both times and was so patient with two people who wanted lots of options and had a lot of opinions about what would and wouldn’t work. Having someone who can quickly bring in experts when needed, is able to put together estimates, narrow down options and tackle scheduling and coordinating crews takes so much stress out of large-scale renovation projects. For updating the porch, we asked for help with the “heavy lifting” – additional supports, reframing the interior, window replacement, electrical, drywall and interior door and window trims. While we handled the finishing touches (painting, flooring, door installation, siding) once everything was wrapped up and could not be happier with the results. The crews we worked with were a delight. Punctual, very respectful of my working from home (right next to the construction zone to boot), and careful to make sure our dogs didn’t accidentally get out of the yard. In addition to that they were always careful to leave our space tidy and safe when wrapping up work. We are hopefully done with major renovations for a few years but wouldn’t hesitate to work with this group again."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

DIY kits are available for basic testing. Professional services provide comprehensive results and recommendations.

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.

Hiring a professional for mold and toxic material testing ensures precise identification of harmful substances within a home. Professionals utilize specialized equipment and techniques, providing accurate results that inform proper removal strategies, safeguarding occupant health.

A lead paint inspection is a thorough examination and assessment of a building or structure to determine the presence of lead-based paint. Lead-based paint was commonly used in buildings before 1978 when its health hazards were fully understood. Lead is toxic and can pose health risks, particularly to young children and pregnant women. Getting a lead paint inspection means finding a lead paint inspector to examine the surfaces of the building—such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and other painted areas—and identify the presence of 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.
