"Smart Environmental has excellent customer service and incredibly honest people. They saved us thousands of dollars by stressing the importance of testing our old vermiculite insulation rather than assuming it had asbestos. While another company took a look at our attic and gave us a quote for over $3,000 of asbestos remediation, Pony described that many inspectors see old insulation and assume it is asbestos, but that is not always the case. Pony took a sample from our attic, got it tested for us, and promptly sent us the negative test results the next day. We could not be more grateful for Ponys honesty and the diligence he took in actually testing our insulation instead of just assuming we needed a costly remediation."

"I would recommend Vantage Point to anyone in a heartbeat.  From start to finish, our relationship with Vantage Point was entirely positive.  Although we had wanted lap siding on all sides, we knew we could not afford to put it on more than the front, with bat and board the rest. Because the company's owners, Matt and Katie Hazen, knew the all-lap siding would look better and was what we really wanted, they worked their bid down so that we could afford lap all around.  Still their bid was the lowest bid we received.
The result is spectacular.  The house looks brand new -- better, in fact, than when we built it twenty-seven years ago; and it looked pretty great then.  The team's attention to detail was remarkable, and everyone on the team was an absolute pleasure to have around.  They were some of the best craftsmen I have ever watched work, and they were clearly enjoying the work and each other's company.  We were actually sad to see them finish up and leave.
Once they were gone, you would not have known they had been there, except that the house had been transformed.  The worksite was completely clean of debris, tools, etc.  
As the siding was completed, the painting crew arrived, and they were just as skilled and just as delightful. In fact, when I asked the lead painter how best to paint our front door, which was not part of the project, he insisted on taking care of it himself for no extra charge.  It did not take him long, and it looks great -- a lot better than my poor attempt of a few years ago that was bubbling and peeling off.
All in all, Vantage Point's owners and their entire team are something special.  They are affordable, and they are true craftsmen. They are like something from a different era.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Lead exposure poses serious health risks, particularly for children, and can be present in paint, pipes, and soil.

Determining if your water main contains lead involves a few steps. First, check the age of your property, as homes built before the 1980s might have lead pipes. Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.
