"They called me back the same day I requested a quote for leaf removal. Went to look at the property and called me back later the same day with a very competitive quote. The work was done within a week of contacting them. Great follow through and great service! Would highly recommend!"
"Tyler and his crew replaced my back fence and enlarged my gate. I have dogs and they erected a temporary fence so the dogs couldn't get into the neighbors yard. Weather was somewhat of an issue but Tyler kept me updated on the work and the job was still completed in a timely manor. They clean up when done and made sure I was satisfied. Would use again."
"Originally came to checkout my refrigerator and took care of that. Then I had a little leak on my roof and he took care of that. Thinking of other projects for him."
"The call came from work and asked me to move as soon as I could. I hired Moving APT to hurry up the moving process. They were just brilliant. I think some levels of trust are really needed between the client and the moving company because essentially you are entrusting them with everything you own. The movers were very good at building trust. They listened to me, paid attention to packing and carried everything with extra caution. Even the guy on the phone when I first called them seemed very friendly and polite. I felt very comfortable leaving my valuables in their hands for 3 days. When they delivered everything on the due date, there was no harm caused to anything at all. Turns out these men are the best in business and hiring them was a no brainier."
"Great work by Lietz home service. Very focused and dedicated to his job. The assembly was challenging but he made sure everything works before leaving. He also charges reasonable price. You will not go wrong for hiring this service. Professional and when he said to trust him on a job, believe it. Excellent service."
"We are very pleased with the tree trimming service that YB Tree and Handyman service provided. I would recommend YB Tree & Handyman Service to anyone."
While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.
The best way to remove lead paint is by wet hand sanding and removing all dust and residue with a HEPA vacuum. Professionals may also strip and scrape lead-based paint with a paint scraper. In some cases, you may choose to have a pro encapsulate or enclose your lead-based paint surface by covering it with a sealant or a new material. You may also choose to replace the material altogether.
The EPA enforces hazardous waste laws and ensures people dispose of their hazardous waste responsibly. Depending on where you live, your state’s hazardous waste regulatory agency may also enforce these laws. Individually, it’s up to each household to properly dispose of their hazardous waste.
If your roof was constructed between 1930 and 1970, there’s a possibility that the shingles contain asbestos. If that’s the case, you should hire a professional for repairs and replacement, as they’ll have the necessary equipment to stay safe from such a hazardous and cancer-causing substance. If your home was constructed after this period, it’s unlikely that the shingles in place are toxic. In most cases, asbestos shingles are not recyclable, while standard asphalt shingles are recyclable.
When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible
