"I hired â A Cut Aboveâ to cut down and remove two trees and they were absolutely awesome. It was a great experience from beginning to finish. They showed up to give an estimate and then do the work on the day and hour they said theyâ d be here (and thereâ s not a lot of that going around lately). I have an established yard that I did not want damaged in the process and they were respectful to exercise due caution and care. Before leaving they cleaned up and the place looked like they had never been there. I had no work to do when they left â only sit back and enjoy the result of their work. The crew was polite, kind, and friendly. The cost was very reasonable and sure bettered others. Again, it was a wonderful experience. I have them on speed dial should I ever need them again, and recommend you all do the same."
"Diego was very friendly and nice. He did a great job in a timely matter. I would recommend him to others, and I will be calling him for any future lawn care that I may need."
"We are so glad we found JGV landscaping! Chris is efficient hard working and professional. Our river bank and yard are transformed! Highly recommend!!!"
"Quick, reliable, professional young man. Got the job done and was gone before I knew it. Definitely recommend to anyone whose looking to get junk removed and stuff"
You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.
What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?
Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?
How do you test for lead paint?
What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?
What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?
Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?
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.
Professionals use appropriate equipment to prevent property damage and ensure efficiency.
Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air.
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.
