"I contacted Anthony from the Craigslist ad for Mass Removal.  He returned my call promptly and came out to see the garage the following day.  After negotiating and agreeing on a very reasonable price within my budget, his crew came the next day to clean out the garage.  I followed up that evening and the garage had been cleaned out floor to the rafters and broom swept.  I was pretty amazed at how quickly and thoroughly the job was done.  I would hire them again in a second.  Excellent job!"

"Started out great, ended up BAD-- our favorite was when-a few months in and behind schedule-- Robert disappeared for a few days, and on return, told us that he had decided to drive to Florida, and made it to NJ before realizing it was a bad idea. Wait, no, it might have been when Robert tried to renegotiate contracted prices (NOT for extra/revised work) and asserted some crazy math that tacked on more than $15,000 due to that screwy math (and not the changing prices, etc.).
On the plus side, we loved one of the subs he hired (Ed, the MA licensed Construction Supervisor from E & H Construction in JP), and we began working with Ed after Robert finished his contract (late, with shoddier work as time went on).  Robert's contract included a warranty, but Robert never returned my calls when I started to see cracks in some of his cement-work (which he poured on one of the 10-degree days in January 2013, despite my concerns).

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Lead paint test kits are not always accurate. Several factors can play into why a test kit provides an inaccurate result such as user error, sample viability, the age and condition of the paint, or difficulty interpreting the final result. If you are looking for 100% accuracy, hiring a professional lead paint test is the only way to get that piece of mind.

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. 

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

Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.

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.
