"He spent a long time with me, and was very pleasant in listening to my needs. It did take a while to get the sketch from him but I think there were some tech issues with the Angie's List contact system.
We did eventually connect and when I reviewed the sketch, I found there was a modification needed. I contacted the vendor and he responded in a few days with a revised plan. 
His response time was a little sluggish. Regardless of whether it was due to technical difficulties, or anything else, I'm not overly enthused to hire a contractor to spearhead my full kitchen remodel whose responses are slow. I had hoped to find a contractor with decent ratings and an interest in possibly doing the complete gut of my kitchen, but he didn't show any interest in the actual project. The drawing he provided was adequate; not terribly detailed?  and that's as far as we will go. 
The actual date of service may be a bit off, as I don't remember when this was performed.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.

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.

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.

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.

If your house was built before 1978 and you’re noticing cracking or peeling paint, a lead paint inspection is a good idea. A lead paint inspection gives you accurate information about the presence, location, and condition of lead-based paint in your home. This information is essential for making informed decisions about lead paint removal to ensure your safety and health and that of your family. If your inspector finds lead, you’ll need to take steps to manage or remove the lead-based paint and comply with laws and regulations.
