Q: Do I have to remove lead-based paint?

• <div><p>If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.</p></div>

Q: What products do I use to clean up lead dust?

• <div><p>You may see specialty products for sale to remove lead dust, such as D-Lead surface wipes. But you do not need to buy a special cleaner just for lead dust. A regular all-purpose cleaner, like 409 or something similar, is sufficient for cleanup. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer's directions when using it and to dilute with water.</p></div>

Q: What is the best disposal method for hazardous waste?

• <div><p>The best disposal method for hazardous waste is recycling or donation, if possible. That way, the world can reduce its consumption of raw materials and the volume at which materials have to be treated and disposed of. If recycling or donation is not an option, most waste can be disposed of through landfills or incinerators, but their collection and treatment are separate from regular day-to-day waste disposal. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to remove lead paint?

• <div><p>The best way to remove lead paint is by wet hand sanding and removing all dust and residue with a HEPA vacuum. Professionals may also strip and scrape lead-based paint with a paint scraper. In some cases, you may choose to have a pro encapsulate or enclose your lead-based paint surface by covering it with a sealant or a new material. You may also choose to replace the material altogether.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if toxic materials are found during a professional test?

• <div><p>Follow recommendations for removal or remediation to ensure a safe living environment.</p></div>

Mike and Ben were absolutely fantastic. They removed multiple shrubs, ground down the stumps, pruned a hickory tree, removed an old utility pole, removed a large garden surrounded by pavers, and spread the garden soil in needed areas around the yard. Mike's communication skills are great...

I have a 30' x 8' front porch on an old house. 17 windows on the exterior side had been painted and repainted over many years. They scrapped off paint, removed old caulk and re-caulked, and painted a new coat of paint. The house is over 100 years old and I don't know when the porch was added,...

Shawn and crew arrived on time. The only way you'd know there was a tree removed from my yard is the stump which was cut just a couple inches above ground level. All the debris was cleaned up beyond my expectations. Great job!

Brian lives about an hour from our house. He was professional and came everyday to check our traps. He caught the mother racoon and then removed the 5 pups from our window dormer. He came back another time with a hepa vacumn to clean up a mess that Bat's made as a favor. What a guy.

It went well. The only thing I didn't like was when gutters were replaced they were a different size than the gutters that were removed. We had just had the house painted so now house has to be repainted where the old gutters touched the house.
