Q: What methods are used to remove lead paint?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Total removal: $8&ndash;$17 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Demolition and replacement: $1,000&ndash;$15,000 per project</p></li><li><p>Encapsulation: $4 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Enclosure: $10 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Chemical stripping: $10&ndash;$17 per square foot</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove lead paint?

• <div><p>You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it&rsquo;s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.</p></div>

Q: Can German schmear be removed?

• <div><p>Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home&rsquo;s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.</p></div>

Q: How do I remove paint from metal?

• <div><p>Using a wire brush, forcefully scrub the surface to remove paint from metal. You&rsquo;ll want to remove any lingering rust, too. For larger areas with caked-on rust, you may need to use a wire brush drill attachment. If the paint still won&rsquo;t budge, apply a chemical paint stripper to the area and scrape off the paint, after following the paint stripper&rsquo;s instructions.</p></div>

Q: Do all homes that were built before 1978 contain lead paint?

• <div><p>While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Robert is a true professional when it comes to stucco repair. I had 4 large areas that needed patching and you can't tell where the holes were. Great job. I'd highly recommend Robert and Pueblo West Stucco for any job. Polite, friendly, and knows what he's doing. Thanks Robert.

Slow workers, which drags out the total construction time. The quality of the work is marginal, with the finish drywall surface not without minor imprefections; i.e not ready for painting

Jim and his team cut my cost by about 50% by not replacing the drywall but restoring what I had (with multiple layers of wallpaper) to make it paint ready. It's now been painted and looks great. <br />

I asked him to paint me a picture of my dog and we got together and talked out exactly what I wanted. He painted it in a timely manner and also helped me get it framed which was also an excellent experience. I am very happy with the results and plan to have my next piece of artwork done...

"Had our basement finished by Luke in first half of 2018. We hired Luke because he listened to what we wanted and provided a great plan to maximize the available space within our modest budget. He worked at a steady pace with an apprentice to do the majority of the work -- framing, egress window install, drywall, multiple door install, closets, shower surround install, painting and flooring. What he couldn't do legally, he hired competent helpers: plumber, electrician, and HVAC. I would not hesitate to hire Luke. He is a friendly communicator, excellent craftsman and a man of integrity (you can take him at his word)."
