"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

Lead exposure poses serious health risks, particularly for children, and can be present in paint, pipes, and soil.

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.

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.

Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you’re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint’s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.

Hazardous waste is waste that poses a threat to human or environmental health. This generally refers to waste that is flammable, corrosive, toxic, or reactive. To confirm if the waste you need to remove is considered hazardous waste, contact your local hazardous waste facility.
