"Eduardo was efficient and priced fairly. He and his team trimmed our neglected and large lot to be more fire resistant. They removed weeds, stumps, and trash. Trimmed trees and bushes. Now we can see the bones of the hardscape. They also got the irrigation system working. Looking forward to working with Lopez Landscaping in the future!"
"The call came from work and asked me to move as soon as I could. I hired Moving APT to hurry up the moving process. They were just brilliant. I think some levels of trust are really needed between the client and the moving company because essentially you are entrusting them with everything you own. The movers were very good at building trust. They listened to me, paid attention to packing and carried everything with extra caution. Even the guy on the phone when I first called them seemed very friendly and polite. I felt very comfortable leaving my valuables in their hands for 3 days. When they delivered everything on the due date, there was no harm caused to anything at all. Turns out these men are the best in business and hiring them was a no brainier."
"If I could rate IV Rentals 10 stars I would. We needed a roll away dumpster on short notice and Manuel was quick to respond and provide one on our schedule. We filled it up quickly and needed a second, then a third! Without hesitation IV Rentals picked up the full, provided an empty on the same day we requested. All the while, Manuel picked up our call on the first ring, responded with such professionalism and kindness. This company is absolutely fantastic, we couldn’t recommend them any higher!"
"It went really well. Sean responded, came over, and gave me an estimate very quickly. I was also able to schedule the service for that week, and it was completed.
My roof looks brand new, and very durable now. I was also happy that the coating went over the TPO and the connections, ensuring that if there were any cracks, spaces, or openings that could lead to a leak were covered.
"Alberto and his crew are excellent! Professional, efficient, timely, reliable, superior quality work on any project: we have hired Alberto’s crew for landscaping, planting large & small, rock work, maintenance - you name it. We cannot say enough good about them!"
You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.
What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?
Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?
How do you test for lead paint?
What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?
What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?
Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?
No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.
Professionals use appropriate equipment to prevent property damage and ensure efficiency.
Professional lead-paint abatement companies use a variety of methods to remove lead-based paint, depending on each particular situation.
Some of the most common methods include:
Total removal: $8–$17 per square foot
Demolition and replacement: $1,000–$15,000 per project
Encapsulation: $4 per square foot
Enclosure: $10 per square foot
Chemical stripping: $10–$17 per square foot
You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it’s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.
