"It went smooth and thorough and he gave us the information we needed to know. I was wanting to schedule something soon and they were able to come out two days after I inquired their services! Cant beat that. We also got a phone call explaining everything that was found for the air quality test and where to go from there. All their help was very much appreciated."

"Asbestos Abatement came to my home and contained asbestos that we had in our boiler room. From the start I requested a proposal with Kim and she was very professional and helpful. The Owner Richard came out to do the proposal and was very knowledgeable about the abatement process and other Energy saving resources. This was when I knew I was in very good hands. The guys showed up the very next day and went to work on containment. I am very proud to have worked with Asbestos Abatement Associates from start to finish. I highly recommend."

"I think the finishing around the window could've been a little bit nicer. Our basement isn't really finished. It still the brick wall, cement wall.It just seems like it could've been finished off more than it was. They were quick. I didn't see a lot of debris or anything. I know sawing through cement can be messy but they seemed to be very clean and efficient. They were out here pretty quick. We checked around and they were very reasonable."

"Dan Morgan was very professional, and knowledgeable about the different molds. Knowledgeable about the products they would use to encapsulate the mold. He was always availbe for any questions I had. I would recommend this company for other projects. The only thing, they did leave bags of grabage that I thought they were going to take with them. Julie E"

"The mold removal and restoration of my front hall closet was started and completed with no problems. I got everything in writing and the workmen did everything in a timely manner. Everything was cleaned up and you wouldn't even know they were there. I got a great value for the money and I thank them for not trying to take advantage of me. The employees were very professional, friendly, and helpful. THe closet looks beautiful now and be energy efficient now that the mold and moisture problem is gone - I can feel the difference."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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

Avoid disturbing suspected lead-containing materials and follow professional guidance on sample collection.

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.

DIY kits are available for basic air quality testing, but professional services provide more comprehensive results and recommendations. While a DIY kit may seem cost-effective, a professional assessment is more thorough. Inspectors are better equipped to catch all pollutants and hazards, and you'll still need a professional to verify and act on DIY test results. Furthermore, some kits don't test for certain pollutants or only detect their presence without measuring specific levels (like mold spores). It's generally better to opt for a detailed professional assessment.

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.
