"These guys did good job with my crawl space. They had to remove a lot of very moldy insulation in space that was crawl only height. They showed up when they said, confirmed and best of all the price was reasonable. Prices were all over for this job and while theirs was most affordable, the work was well done. Professional and trustworthy. They were also competent, efficient and came with the needed respirator, and Tyvek suit to handle this toxic job. Thanks JImmie!"

"John was always prompt in returning my messages and phone calls... He scheduled the work quickly (within a week)  as I requested after we had some steps replaced and needed the walkways done to tie it all together.  He came out to discuss the project scope and wanted to be sure he understood exactly what I wanted done -- but he had even better suggestions which in the long run, were completely the right thing to do.  We had an existing concrete walkway that had cracked sections that were replaced, and where we widened our front steps, we needed to add additional walkway to tie them together.  They made it go together seamlessly and graded the slope perfectly, so rain runoff and drainage would never be an issue. This was a concern of mine because the two walkway sections to be connected were considerably different elevations.  Then an additional cross walk was added to lead out to the front yard with a radius landing pad off the staircase. This also had to be excavated to slope correctly and drain properly since it was replacing an old brick pathway that had been there for 25+ years... John asked questions to ensure he knew exactly what we were looking for - and then he and his crew made it happen.  They scheduled the work quickly and kept to the schedule.  He communicated effectively if he had any question or concern about any aspect of the work.  The crew worked professionally and cleaned up meticulously as they completed each day of work.  I originally purchased the "package deal" but I knew that the scope of the work would exceed the package deal price.  The quoted pricing for the additional work was certainly reasonable, the speed of completion on the project was unexpected, and the finished work was just as I had envisioned wanting it to look ... an outstanding experience - start to finish.   I have nothing but positive things to say about this experience and plan to use them again for future projects since I also found out they do other things besides concrete work.

"Mr. Ross arrived early for the appointment.  He was very professional and courteous.  It is hard to find where water is coming in, especially if it is not there for you to see.  He examined the basement and I described the situation.  He replaced the downspout and filled the ground with six bags of rocks.  However, there was another rain and I discovered water was still coming in the basement.  He immediately came out and because I left the water on the floor, he could see that it was merely water that was coming in around the sides of the door and then repaired it.  That night there was a heavy rain, but there was no water in the basement.  Job was completed and the cost was very reasonable.  I plan to use him when I locate to my new home.  I have already given referrals to my friends.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

DIY kits are available for basic air quality testing, but professional services provide more comprehensive results and recommendations. While a DIY kit may seem cost-effective, a professional assessment is more thorough. Inspectors are better equipped to catch all pollutants and hazards, and you'll still need a professional to verify and act on DIY test results. Furthermore, some kits don't test for certain pollutants or only detect their presence without measuring specific levels (like mold spores). It's generally better to opt for a detailed professional assessment.

Hiring a professional for mold and toxic material testing ensures precise identification of harmful substances within a home. Professionals utilize specialized equipment and techniques, providing accurate results that inform proper removal strategies, safeguarding occupant health.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

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.

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.
