"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

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.

Costs depend on the number of samples, testing method, lab fees, and whether on-site inspections are required.

No, a standard home inspection includes the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.

Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.
