Q: Does homeowners insurance cover lead paint removal?

They arrived on the scheduled day, went right to work and soon my tree was gone. They cleaned up and put a cut in my stump which I poured Epsom salt in. New year the stump should be ready for removal. I have other work for them next year. Will call them again.
