Get matched with top leaf removal pros in Sparta, NC

Q: Do all homes that were built before 1978 contain lead paint?

• <div><p>While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How do pros handle hazardous materials during removal?

• <div><p>Professionals are trained in identifying hazardous materials and utilize industry-approved methods for safe handling and disposal. They adhere to regulatory frameworks to protect health and the environment, ensuring all materials are disposed of safely and responsibly.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over lead paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over lead paint, or &ldquo;encapsulate&rdquo; it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-options-do-i-have-remove-lead-paint.htm">lead paint removal method</a> as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an &ldquo;encapsulant&rdquo; from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.</p></div>

Q: Is exterior paint toxic after it dries?

• <div><p>Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you&rsquo;re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How long does lead dust stay in the air?

• <div><p>When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible</p></div>

"Excellent work from start to finish! I hired Stonecrest Construction to clear trees, level and prepare a pad for a future garage, and install a new driveway off of my existing driveway. They removed the grass, properly graded everything, and created a solid, clean driveway and garage pad. I’m extremely impressed with how everything turned out. The work was done professionally, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. They completely transformed the area and left everything looking clean and well-finished. I would absolutely recommend Stonecrest Construction to anyone needing excavation, grading, land clearing, or driveway work. Great company and great work!"
