"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."
"Performed numerous fix ups at my house..showed up on time, very polite with a can do attitude. Works fast And tidies everything. Multi talented.in a little more than ,,,3 hours, two guys cleaned out a very messy, congested garage, hung 2pivture, fixed 2 faucets that had no pressure, installed a light panel, a modern one to replace ugly, burnt out fluorescent tubes,, assembled two book cases and replaced a pantry light that had been flickering. This twosome did flawless job."
"Great job. Sean was prompt and carefully explained options. We decided to replace our existing tar and gravel roof with a new synthetic roof (that comes with a 20 year warranty). We hired Blue Sky based on reviews and were not disappointed. The first day some of workers spend 12 hours preparing the surface for the new roof. While outside watering I noticed a worker, at the end of his 12 hour day, walking the perimeter of our house picking up individual pieces of gravel and other debris from the roof. I was impressed. The area around our house was clean, no vegetation suffered from the work. I am grateful for the professionalism and care Blue Sky took when working on our property. I highly recommend this company! Thank you to Sean and his workers, great job!"
"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!"
Disposing of old paint, bleach, oil, and fertilizer should be handled by a company that specializes in this kind of waste. Many private junk removal companies do not dispose of these items. Because these materials are hazardous to the environment and dangerous to handle or dispose of improperly, you should confirm with your local municipality about places to take hazardous materials for safe disposal.
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?
When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible
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.
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.
