Top 10 Best Leaf removal pros in Edwards, MS

Q: Are old roof shingles toxic?

• <div><p>If your roof was constructed between 1930 and 1970, there&rsquo;s a possibility that the shingles contain asbestos. If that&rsquo;s the case, you should hire a professional for repairs and replacement, as they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s unlikely that the shingles in place are toxic. In most cases, asbestos shingles are not recyclable, while standard asphalt shingles are recyclable.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove lead paint from floors on my own?

• <div><p>If your home was built before 1978, there&rsquo;s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint&mdash;especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The <a href="https://www.homeadvisor.com/cost/environmental-safety/remove-toxic-lead/">average price for professional lead paint removal ranges</a> from <b>$1,500 to $5,300 </b>and depends on the scope of the project.</p></div>

Q: How is lead removal professionally conducted?

• <div><p>Professional lead removal involves identifying and safely removing or encapsulating lead-based paints and materials, using specialized equipment, and following strict safety procedures to minimize exposure and contamination.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover lead paint removal?

• <div><p>No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.</p></div>
