"Smart Environmental has excellent customer service and incredibly honest people. They saved us thousands of dollars by stressing the importance of testing our old vermiculite insulation rather than assuming it had asbestos. While another company took a look at our attic and gave us a quote for over $3,000 of asbestos remediation, Pony described that many inspectors see old insulation and assume it is asbestos, but that is not always the case. Pony took a sample from our attic, got it tested for us, and promptly sent us the negative test results the next day. We could not be more grateful for Ponys honesty and the diligence he took in actually testing our insulation instead of just assuming we needed a costly remediation."

"Initially had two companies inspect the house and offer remediation plans. Blue Sky's plan was more detailed and comprehensive as well as less expensive. They were more responsive and more understanding of our needs throughout the process. Biggest issue for us is that Remediation by its nature is a very disruptive process and we weren't quite as prepared psychologically as we needed to be. Just about everything ends up being moved so it can be cleaned... and in our case, parts of the house a second time given how much stuff we have and how serious the mold problem was. Minor issue was that some workers seemed to be much better at putting things back closer to were they originally were. Healthwise, the good thing for us was that they didn't quit until the follow up testing said it was safe... and with no extra bill from them."

"I would recommend Vantage Point to anyone in a heartbeat.  From start to finish, our relationship with Vantage Point was entirely positive.  Although we had wanted lap siding on all sides, we knew we could not afford to put it on more than the front, with bat and board the rest. Because the company's owners, Matt and Katie Hazen, knew the all-lap siding would look better and was what we really wanted, they worked their bid down so that we could afford lap all around.  Still their bid was the lowest bid we received.
The result is spectacular.  The house looks brand new -- better, in fact, than when we built it twenty-seven years ago; and it looked pretty great then.  The team's attention to detail was remarkable, and everyone on the team was an absolute pleasure to have around.  They were some of the best craftsmen I have ever watched work, and they were clearly enjoying the work and each other's company.  We were actually sad to see them finish up and leave.
Once they were gone, you would not have known they had been there, except that the house had been transformed.  The worksite was completely clean of debris, tools, etc.  
As the siding was completed, the painting crew arrived, and they were just as skilled and just as delightful. In fact, when I asked the lead painter how best to paint our front door, which was not part of the project, he insisted on taking care of it himself for no extra charge.  It did not take him long, and it looks great -- a lot better than my poor attempt of a few years ago that was bubbling and peeling off.
All in all, Vantage Point's owners and their entire team are something special.  They are affordable, and they are true craftsmen. They are like something from a different era.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.

At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy. Follow instructions meticulously, ensuring proper sample collection and test execution. While they can detect elevated lead levels, for precise confirmation or if results are concerning, consider professional testing or lab analysis for comprehensive accuracy and guidance on addressing any issues.

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.

The average cost of a lead paint inspection is about $600, but it can cost as low as $150 or as much as $800, depending on the size of the area, geographic location, and the inspection methods. Some of the most common lead paint inspection methods include:

  • Visual inspection: $150–$400

  • Paint sampling: $200–$600

  • X-ray fluorescence (XRF): $250–$700

  • Risk assessment: $300–$800

Properties should be tested for lead every 2-3 years, especially if they are older, have undergone renovations, or show deterioration of paint or interior finishes.
