"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 purchased the deal on Angies List for $349, which was to include materials - including tile up to $2/sq foot for 40 feet. I was told by Tom in advance that it would be $200 to remove and then reinstall the vanity and the toilet. This seemed excessive to me, but not wanting to deal with the hassle of it, and since the BigDeal was such a good deal, we agreed to that. The Big Deal said that it included replacement ceramic tile up to $2/sq. foot (or $80 total.) I inquired about how we were supposed to pick the tile, and Tom said to purchase it ourselves and we'd get an $80 credit from him. When Tom arrived at the house he said that he had neglected to mention that the $80 for tile was actually an allowance for all of the materials, and the cost of the mortar and grout (and any other materials) already totaled more than $80 so no credit for us on the tile. I paid special attention to the cost of the tile when I was purchasing it to make sure we stayed within the $2/sq. foot because that what was included. I found that to be a bit annoying, especially since he and I had emailed about it before I purchased the deal...but I figured it really wasn't a big deal. I asked him if he would install a small backsplash around the vanity after reinstalling the vanity. (I had some extra mosaic tiles from tiling the shower, and they were already cut into strips.) He agreed, but didn't mention anything about an extra charge. When he was finished, he asked for $60 extra for the backsplash.
He completed the work quickly; and it looks good. He showed up on time, and worked hard. Overall, he did a nice job. I even asked him for a quote to replace our kitchen back splash, but we decided to do it ourselves.
The deal was a good deal - and I'm pleased with the overall project. But Tom didn't communicate well about extra fees, and what was included and what isn't. He made a comment that the extra fees were to make sure that he makes something on the job. I certainly don't want to take advantage of anyone. I think that this is the result of a poorly structured deal on Angie's List for the purpose of drumming up some new business. I would be very careful when discussing pricing with Tom.

"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

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.

Some causes of brown well water—like excess tannins or dissolved iron—don’t pose a health risk. In other cases, harmful bacteria might be the culprit. If your well water has suddenly turned brown, it’s a good idea to use a home water test kit to get a better sense of what’s going on with your water. Consider calling a professional for an expert opinion before drinking the water and hoping for the best.

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.

No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.

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.
