"Peter and his crew were great. Peter was prompt in responding to my inquiry and came out to the house to walk through the lead report and work that needed to be done with me. He gave me a number of options for remediating things and showed me where we could do things in a less expensive manner--explaining the costs and benefits of the different approaches. For example, in one area he told me it was going to cost a significant amount for him to remediate and that it would ultimately be much cheaper for me to replace a section of wood railing instead of remediating the paint. This was to my benefit and his detriment, so I really appreciated it. His crew remediated 15 historic windows and they fixed some cracked panes of glass without my even asking. Peter was very fair, always in communication, and they completed the work promptly and professionally. I highly recommend."

"i have copied the complaint I have filed with the BBB. When I spoke to the manager at champion on Monday he said someone would get back to me by the end of the week. Here it is late Friday and I’ve heard nothing. I left a message on Monday with a customer service rep who’s voice mail said I’d get a call back in 24 hours but have had no return call yet. Even if the company reserves the right to cancel, their our bad oh well attitude and not even trying to work out some kind of resolution for their mistakes is the most unacceptable and unprofessional part of the whole experience with them. I added a picture of my contract with them so everyone can see how straight forward it shows what I was told I was paying for. Here is the BBB complaint Company rep gave a price of $24562 on vinyl siding during an in home sales presentation. At that time I explained I was not ready to purchase due to still looking at colors but also wanted to add on doors. Rep called his manager who said doors would have to be done separately either way but gave a price in the low $20’s over the phone if I signed up for the siding today. I passed and called the rep back a day or two later to come back to show us door options so we could add them on and get a total price. Rep came back on 3-13-19. We picked out 3 doors and he gave us a total price for everything of $29599. Contract was drafted up and signed and a deposit of $8880 was given by credit card. Was told by the rep there will be someone coming out to confirm measurements and price may fluctuate slightly if he under measured but was pretty confident he was close to accurate. On 3-15 some one came out and measured for the doors and remeasureed for the siding. He called back on 3-19 stating he had to come by and recheck one more measurement but I didn’t need to be home. That is the last I heard from the company till I called on 4-08-19 as we were told 3-5 weeks. First call was left on hold for 20 minutes, second call was told they would call me right back, made third call after waiting over an hour for call back only to find out my contact had been voided because they under charged me for the project. They said the rep misquoted the whole project and I was never charged for the doors even though the contract I signed shows I was. Said there was nothing they could do and they have a right to just void the contract if the so choose. Which they did without even telling me. The manager who acknowledged giving the rep the low price the first day out refused to even honor that price saying he gave it out not knowing all the information but gave it any ways. Not only did the rep supposingly misquote the job the manager gave an even lower one in order to close the sale. Now the cost they are telling me is approximately $29000 plus another $11000 for the doors. That’s a far distance from the original $24000 for just the siding that the rep and the even lower price the manager gave from the first visit. Manager said it would be at least 4 days before anyone else above him could even get back to me about this. He wouldn’t give me anymore names of the next people in line I could call. Just kept telling me he would give my information to the right people and they would call me. Stated I would be having a lawyer look into this and finally got a name and number of some customer service rep."

Lead paint removal costs about $3,600, ranging from $1,500 to $5,800, depending on several factors, such as square footage, removal method, and its location in your home. Keep in mind that lead paint removal costs $8 to $17 per square foot, ensuring a permanent and maintenance-free fix.
Additional cost factors for lead paint removal include:
Location
Materials and equipment needed
Disposal method
Accessibility
Surface types
Repairs needed
Labor
Professional lead-paint abatement companies use a variety of methods to remove lead-based paint, depending on each particular situation. Some of the most common methods include:
Total removal: $8–$17 per square foot
Demolition and replacement: $1,000–$15,000 per project
Encapsulation: $4 per square foot
Enclosure: $10 per square foot
Chemical stripping: $10–$17 per square foot
Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.
Common home surfaces to test for lead include:
Walls
Windows
Doors
Molding and trim
Railings
A professional lead paint removal company should remove any lead-based paint from your home. You should not remove or paint over it yourself because handling lead-based paint poses health risks, according to the EPA. Professionals trained and certified to handle lead-based paint abatement use specialized equipment like HEPA vacuums and methods like chemical stripping and abrasive blasting to remove paint and particles as safely as possible. They are also trained on how to properly dispose of lead-based paint material.
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?
