Bulwark Exterminating - St GeorgeThere is a lack of a prompt response in removal of furniture. The owner prefers phone calls rather than written correspondence, this makes me suspicious. I like having a paper trail. The property has sold and closing is on 11/26/17. Vicki Town has not been returning phone calls. I can't get a...

"This is a family run business, it's Vic and his sons that run the company. Absolutely great to work with, and nothing but professional. Within 5 minutes of filling out the project on Angi, I received a call from them. They came out and looked at the issue the next day and gave me an initial estimate. The project was a custom tile shower was leaking at the door. Turned out once they started doing the demo on the shower, it was a lot more water damage than we initially thought. The waterproofing under the shower had failed, and the shower floor had to be removed. This was not their fault, there was no visible evidence of the additional damage until they started the demo. That's just the nature of water damage. Once we found out the extent of the damage, they gave us a second estimate, and that was the final price. The whole project took a little over a week, but they kept us completely informed during the whole thing. Would absolutely recommend and would use them again."

Lead paint removal costs about $3,600, ranging from $1,500 to $5,800, depending on several factors, such as square footage, removal method, and its location in your home. Keep in mind that lead paint removal costs $8 to $17 per square foot, ensuring a permanent and maintenance-free fix.
Additional cost factors for lead paint removal include:
Location
Materials and equipment needed
Disposal method
Accessibility
Surface types
Repairs needed
Labor
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
Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.
Common home surfaces to test for lead include:
Walls
Windows
Doors
Molding and trim
Railings
A professional lead paint removal company should remove any lead-based paint from your home. You should not remove or paint over it yourself because handling lead-based paint poses health risks, according to the EPA. Professionals trained and certified to handle lead-based paint abatement use specialized equipment like HEPA vacuums and methods like chemical stripping and abrasive blasting to remove paint and particles as safely as possible. They are also trained on how to properly dispose of lead-based paint material.
