The inspection was very thorough. It was also nice to be able to get everything tested without having to damage any walls. He used a portable analyzer that he pointed at each surface. Each measurement included the concentration of lead that was detected as well as the depth beneath the surface at which it was detected. I think the whole process took about 4 hours. We met him towards the end of the appointment, and he spoke to us about the hazards that he found. He had plenty of advice about how to deal with it and be safe. Afterwards, he sent us a very detailed report with with the lead measurements for each surface throughout our house. It's quite useful. Now I know which parts of the house I can safely work on without worrying about lead paint, which is especially important with a baby in the house. Overall, Louis was pleasant to deal with and was even nice enough to answer some remaining questions I had a couple of weeks after the inspection.

We dealt with the supposed "Boss" of the window department and he was terrible. First he kept rescheduling the appointment and insisted they be the last bid. He fed me some story about a deal they had going on that was ending soon. After I told him that we could not meet until after the deal was over, he then said he would be able to extend it. So was the deal really ending?? He showed up on time but throughout the whole appointment he was very condescending. We live in an 87 year old house and try to keep everything authentic whenever possible. When we mentioned we wanted wood interior in the living room windows, he rudely said, "What do you want wood for, then you have to maintain it!" What?!?! We couldn't get a color match on some other windows and his suggestion was for us to repaint all the trim. We asked about financing and he asked us why we would want to finance because financing can be expensive. Towards the end of the appointment we said we had to think about it and harshly said, "What's there to think about!!" He didn't even give a written estimate. It was like he gave us a price off the top of his head. He didn't seem to care about what we wanted or tried to meet hour needs. His whole attitude was "Hurry up and buy from me". They ended up being the lowest bid, but you get what you pay for. We didn't feel their vinyl windows were of good quality. Per Sela's website they sell other top brand windows but the salesmen never mentioned that as an option. If you are concerned about lead, and most window companies will test for it, Sela's test is a joke. Basically a q-tip rubbed on the window frame and put in plastic bag which is a method commonly used, but real testing should be done with an x-ray gun designed for lead testing. We ended up going with another company that took the time to listen to our needs and didn't ridicule us for what we wanted.

I communicated that I needed lead safe work practices, because I knew that there was lead paint, and because I was working with a grant from the county related to the lead paint. They said that this was fine. There was a month long wait list for the scheduling. When Dan did call, he did not know any of the details that I had previously given the original person I spoke with. He expected me to be able to be ready for him to paint at a moment's notice. I told him that I could not take off work for this, and that I could be there at 8 or 9 in the morning to show what needed to be painted,or I could leave a key and notes. He agreed to the key and notes and scheduled for 1 pm today.
No one came at 1 pm. He sent a worker who was not lead safe work practices certified to come. This worker called me around 3, wondering if I could meet him at the house. I did not get the message until 5:30. No one had even attempted to come to my house as scheduled, until I called back at 5:30. The worker then went to my house at 5:30, and spent 2 hours just looking at the project. When I talked on the phone to this worker, he didn't sound like he knew anything about lead safe work. He evaded my question 3 times about whether he had the certification. He also had accomplished absolutely nothing on a day that he had been scheduled to work in my house all afternoon. When I spoke to Dan, he said the most ridiculous things - that he wasn't sure where I got 1 pm from, that I hadn't left any keys where I obviously had, even though the worker somehow got in the house.
He said, that the lead safe work practices weren't a big deal. He balked when I communicated again about the grant and that the county would be testing it. He did not know why this worker had been at my house for 2 hours and hadn't gotten anything accomplished whatsoever. He said he had to call the worker and call me back. When he called me back, he said that he didn't and quot;want to do the joband quot; that I had already paid him $200 dollars and waited a month for him to do. He seemed to be scared off by the lead safe work practices, which leads me to believe that he doesn't actually live up to his certification. He belittled it, said that it was just a weird government thing that had me worried, and blatantly said that was why he didn't want to do the job.
He didn't understand the fact that I had told him about it from the beginning and the fact that he had the certification led me to believe that he would be competent in that skill and not turn jobs down because of lead paint. (80% of older homes have lead paint, so it seems like he's probably not being safe if he can't handle jobs with lead paint, just saying). Overall, he held my $200 for a month, wasted a full month of my time,didn't follow through on his word, was unprofessional, sent someone to my house that didn't do anything (which creeps me out), and barely said that he was sorry (only after I told him how much he inconvenienced me). He also didn't hold out on his agreement for the services and just told me to get a refund from Angie's list. By far the most unprofessional company I have ever worked with."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/big-lake/dan-netko-exteriors-inc-reviews-64297.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"A Pane in the Glass Construction LLC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"STACEY L."},"reviewBody":"Kevin suggested repairing since the cost to replace vs repair and repaint was comparable.

"This was to be a 6 - 8 week project. We started on September 15th. We expected it to be done mid to late November. It is not complete as of January 18th. We have sheet rock dust everywhere, on all walls, floors cabinets, etc. We have walls that need to be repainted, trim to be done, carpet to lay, plumbing to complete, some cabinet work to finish and Custom Bi-fold doors to make for the oversized framing of the openings, and closet shelves to install. I am leaving things off the list I am sure but you get the picture. Our main contact, Lance, has not contacted us in 3 weeks. Our project sits. My thinking is that he is walking away from it as his last communication with us was to have a worker pick up a check from us in December for our carpet and flooring overage. He didn’t buy carpet is our guess as we have not gotten a install date, we were promised a schedule on December 27th. The team that was used for framing did not have enough experience. Almost all walls are not square or plumb. All Door openings were framed too tall and wide, including the Bi-fold Closet Doors. This team was also used to sheetrock. When I pointed out to Lance the many issues with their work he shrugged it off as not being too bad. Too few screws in the field and too many in other places. All outlet, light switch and register vents were cut larger than the cover plates. Requiring after the fact repair work. A pro sheetrocker would have flipped his lid. The taping and mudding was done by this team as well. They used way too much mud, ineffective use of tape and mud made for much much more sanding. They didn’t bother isolating the basement so we had weeks and weeks of sheetrock dust on our main and 2nd floor and that is with the furnace OFF whenever the team was here. The ceiling is passable save for a few areas that have noticeable valleys that are 4 plus feet long. Not all of the sanding is done yet but the walls are painted and have been patched in numerous locations and repainted, so the paint do not match up now. I can go on of course and I am not trying to bash. I am being honest about our experience. We have no idea when the end is and we feel that they have abandoned us for greener pastures. That’s what the lack of communication leads us to believe at least."

We have sheet rock dust everywhere, on all walls, floors cabinets, etc. We have walls that need to be repainted, trim to be done, carpet to lay, plumbing to complete, some cabinet work to finish and Custom Bi-fold doors to make for the oversized framing of the openings, and closet shelves to install. I am leaving things off the list I am sure but you get the picture. Our main contact, Lance, has not contacted us in 3 weeks. Our project sits. My thinking is that he is walking away from it as his last communication with us was to have a worker pick up a check from us in December for our carpet and flooring overage. He didn’t buy carpet is our guess as we have not gotten a install date, we were promised a schedule on December 27th. The team that was used for framing did not have enough experience. Almost all walls are not square or plumb. All Door openings were framed too tall and wide, including the Bi-fold Closet Doors. This team was also used to sheetrock. When I pointed out to Lance the many issues with their work he shrugged it off as not being too bad. Too few screws in the field and too many in other places. All outlet, light switch and register vents were cut larger than the cover plates. Requiring after the fact repair work. A pro sheetrocker would have flipped his lid. The taping and mudding was done by this team as well. They used way too much mud, ineffective use of tape and mud made for much much more sanding. They didn’t bother isolating the basement so we had weeks and weeks of sheetrock dust on our main and 2nd floor and that is with the furnace OFF whenever the team was here. The ceiling is passable save for a few areas that have noticeable valleys that are 4 plus feet long. Not all of the sanding is done yet but the walls are painted and have been patched in numerous locations and repainted, so the paint do not match up now. I can go on of course and I am not trying to bash. I am being honest about our experience. We have no idea when the end is and we feel that they have abandoned us for greener pastures. That’s what the lack of communication leads us to believe at least."
