"The insurance money was in the bank in which the loan for the house is from.
My banker wanted a bid and a waiver of lien to be given them BUT John Fowler never produced one to me.
My banker also wanted receipts from Fowler and I told Mr Fowler that I needed the waiver signed and all receipts as he buys
any items.  Mr Fowler say OK, but he never signed till the very end and I had to hold money till he did signed it.
As for the receipts, never did he give me any but at the end, he took all at once to the bank to give to them.  I decided to go to the bank and get copies of the receipts but beat him there and so I got a copy plus he got a copy and the bank got the originals.
My banker was great on this as we went over the receipts and I went home and did it again, more then once.
What got me most of all was he kept asking my insurance adjustor what kind of money I was going to get and using my name saying I also wanted to know.  To me, he had no reason to do this, ever.
Fowler charged my insurance for saws of $200.00 and other items plus an account that didn't have any thing to do with me and had no proof that it was plus another account.  All and all, Fowler charged my insurance to pay him $2,588.17.  His bonus money and since he broke our hand shake, didn't get anymore bonus money.
Trust, no way, the work, fine but I had to hold back more money as he didn't finish a few little things that needed to get done and so I had to hold that money just to get his men back.
He said he hates lairs!   He needs to read a dictionary on what a liar is.   I will never use him again for anything and he asked me to allow him to inspect all my rentals as he does that to.  NOPE, can't trust him, hand shake or not, can't trust him.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Lead paint test kits are not always accurate. Several factors can play into why a test kit provides an inaccurate result such as user error, sample viability, the age and condition of the paint, or difficulty interpreting the final result. If you are looking for 100% accuracy, hiring a professional lead paint test is the only way to get that piece of mind.

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.

Lead removal services typically cost between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the extent of lead presence, the property size, and the complexity of the abatement process.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to detect asbestos, radon, and VOCs.
