"   Gary gave me a bid that I thought was very competitive.  In fact it was lower than I expected so I enlarged the building from 600 to 700 sq ft.  
   My wife and I were out of town during much of the construction.  Gary kept me fully informed of progress with pictures.  He made several very good suggestions as to little changes in the plans that have turned out to be very useful.  When he had questions, he sent me pictures so we could decide how to proceed.
   He finished in slightly less than the time allowed in the schedule.
   The final price was slightly more than the bid, and I could see that each of the additional price items was exactly what we had agreed to when the changes were made.
   My wife and I are delighted with the art studio, and to this day, we count Gary as one of our best friends in Albuquerque.  We have highly recommended him to our friends that want any remodeling, or new construction."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

No, you can’t place hazardous waste in a dumpster unless you specifically ordered a dumpster for hazardous waste removal. If the dumpster company finds hazardous waste that it didn’t approve for dumping, the company will return the waste to you, and you’ll likely face a fine for illegal dumping.

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.

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.

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
