"These guys went ABOVE and BEYOND anything I've ever seen, and I've hired contractors for the last 35 years. They came in and were very well educated. What the quoted us is exactly what we paid. 

The beauty of this is, we didn't pay a dime up front. We paid as we went. They tore the kitchen apart, and then we paid a little bit. Then they brought in the new kitchen cabinets, and we paid a little bit. We never felt like we weren't getting what we paid for. 

My wife and I just want to thank Ray Hubbard and Legacy Building and Design for awesome work."

"My experience was very good.  They made sure I was covered under all of the permits and things like that.  They had a very fair price and listened to what I wanted.  They made suggestions on how to do the same thing and save a little money.  They were very good.  They were very professional and were there when they were supposed to be here.  If I had any issues afterwards like a touch up here and there, they would come back; it was not a problem.  I am thinking about using them again."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

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.

Lead testing in residential properties involves collecting samples from paint, dust, soil, or plumbing and analyzing them in certified laboratories to accurately identify lead levels.

Services test for allergens, mold, VOCs, and carbon monoxide levels to ensure a healthy indoor environment.
