25 years of experience

We have been an established insurance restoration company in Erie and Niagara counties for the past 15 years. Within the last 7 years, we have become the single largest Fire and Water Restoration Company in our area. Allstate Insurance Company recognized our level of quality and attention to customer service almost 7 years ago and came to us, asking if we would be their preferred vendor in Erie and Niagara counties. With that distinction, Allstate places an additional warranty on our work, knowing that their customers have been left in Good Hands. Since then, we have completed over 15 million dollars in fire and water damage in that time, leaving several devastated families with a newly remodeled home to return to. At Aftermath we not only handle insurance work, we work very closely with several non-for-profit organizations as well as for profit businesses in our area completing various maintenance tasks and new construction opportunities. We have completed countless apartment turnovers, including cleaning, painting and repair of any damage in apartments or homes. We have been asked to evaluate and repair buildings for HUD REAC inspections of senior housing complexes and apartment buildings and have always scored in the high 90’s. We pride ourselves on providing all organizations with a great product at a rock bottom price. We have provided services for Transitional Services Inc. and Kensington Village Apartments for over 10 years and have been providing People Inc. and the WNYDDSO our services and bids for the last 5. When we started with these companies, we were used only to cleanup what their maintenance staff would not or could not tackle. Since then, they have realized that Aftermath is not only there for you when you’re in a pinch, but that we can build and remodel anything asked or desired. People Inc has told us specifically that when they don’t know how to fix a problem or overcome a building obstacle, their management staff says “Call Aftermath.” We have coordinated several interior and exterior paint jobs over the years and know that we can tackle your tasks at hand and get your park running at 100% by your deadlines.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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 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. 

Professional lead removal involves identifying and safely removing or encapsulating lead-based paints and materials, using specialized equipment, and following strict safety procedures to minimize exposure and contamination.

Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you’re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint’s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.
