"They just wrote an estimate - I wasn't here when they came. I didn't talk to them. It wasn't necessary for them to come and do an estimate. They left the quote with my son. I would use them if their prices went down."

"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

Lead testing in residential properties involves collecting samples from paint, dust, soil, or plumbing and analyzing them in certified laboratories to accurately identify lead levels.

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.

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.

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.
