"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

Determining if your water main contains lead involves a few steps. First, check the age of your property, as homes built before the 1980s might have lead pipes. Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

Lead testing prior to purchasing a property ensures that the new owners are informed about potential hazards, prevents health risks associated with lead poisoning, and facilitates timely remediation.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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.

How you test for lead in your water depends on the source of your home's water supply. If you have municipal water, your local water system may offer to test the water for free or may connect you to a lab that will perform the testing.

If you have a private well that provides drinking water, you are responsible for testing it for lead. Look for a lab that is accredited by your state's Department of Environmental Protection to perform the test.
