Iâ  ve also used H&B to plane my back yard for drainage and re-sod. Job was done beautifully and quickly. Great work!"
"Tony came over to remove a sink and install a new one and patch and paint the powder room. His work was excellent and he made some minor suggestions which were great. He worked with me on the price when adding some extra work and unlike many workmen he vacuumed the room after patching the walls. He was so great in many areas we have decided to hire him in remodeling our master bathroom. Finally found a competent and talented handyman!"

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.
It is safe to remove old linoleum, but it may require the help of a specialist due to the risk of asbestos in the material. Before you cut into linoleum or try to peel it up, have it tested for asbestos. If it tests positive, professionals will need to remove it to prevent the risk of health issues from airborne toxic particles. If it’s asbestos-free, DIY removal is possible and safe.
