"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 can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.
Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.
The safest way to remove lead-based paint is by letting a professional take over. For most people, lead paint removal costs an average of $3,400. You should never attempt to dry sand old lead-based paint surfaces by hand. Most professionals use a paint stripper to do the job followed by wet scraping, but if you don’t want to remove lead paint, another option is to paint over it. Only consider this option if the old lead paint finish isn’t flaking or cracked.
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.
The best disposal method for hazardous waste is recycling or donation, if possible. That way, the world can reduce its consumption of raw materials and the volume at which materials have to be treated and disposed of. If recycling or donation is not an option, most waste can be disposed of through landfills or incinerators, but their collection and treatment are separate from regular day-to-day waste disposal.
