"Vernon responded immediately (in the evening) to the Home Advisor inquiry and he was available for lead paint testing and provided a report quickly for a city building permit. I hired him again for follow-up asbestos testing. I am thankful for his responsiveness (the permit process has been challenging) and feel confident that he is advising me on what is needed and not creating extra or unneeded work. Highly recommend."

"JMAQ did a great job of lead paint abatement in my apartment today! This team of experienced workers was on time, and worked diligently all day correcting the problems. I really admire their work ethic. Additionally, they were courteous and polite, explaining everything they were doing. My apartment, which I am selling, had had 4 violations since 2005 which I only found out about last week. The violations were discovered by the buyers' lawyer. No one had ever mentioned these violations to me in the 12 years I have lived here. I was in a panic to get the violations corrected. I had contacted a few companies, but I was not impressed. One company was a "no show" two different days, after I had waited for them for 4 hours one day, and 6 hours another day. Another company told me on the phone the lead paint abatement process would take one or two months.I was very frustrated. Then I looked at the Home Advisors website, and found JMAQ. I spoke to Sasha of JMAQ on the phone, and I knew from the way she spoke that she was knowledgeable about the lead paint removal process, and that Customer Service was important to JMAQ. Also, she said they would certainly be on time for all appointments.She said they could facilitate the job and get to it right away knowing I was in a bind about getting the apartment sold. The all-important Closing was being held up by the lead paint problem, and I was running out of money with various home-selling costs. She found my apartment violations quickly on the NY HPD website, and gave me a a very good and fair estimate on the phone. Also, she explained that her father, Jose, had had years of experience with lead paint abatement violations. Sasha, Jose, and Victor, Sasha's son, came over to my home the very next day, and Jose checked out the problems. I was impressed by their professional attitude. JMAQ corrected all violations today, only taking a break for lunch. These are hard-working people! The next step will be that they will send an examiner over to take scientific "wipes" of the corrected areas. These wipes will be taken to a lab for examination. After this, my apartment will receive a certificate that the lead paint has been removed. Then, I will take the signed affadavit to HPD so they can officially sign off on it, and the violations will be removed. The estimated total time for all this will be a week, depending on which day the technician can come and do the "wipes". I am looking forward to working with Sasha and Jose as they competently get me through this confusing and difficult time in my apartment selling. I will write another review for this excellent company when we get to the end of the whole process. I feel so relieved to be in the hands of these professionals who are "with me" every step of the way! Thank you, Shirley Gifford"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

A lead paint inspection is a thorough examination and assessment of a building or structure to determine the presence of lead-based paint. Lead-based paint was commonly used in buildings before 1978 when its health hazards were fully understood. Lead is toxic and can pose health risks, particularly to young children and pregnant women. Getting a lead paint inspection means finding a lead paint inspector to examine the surfaces of the building—such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and other painted areas—and identify the presence of lead-based paint.

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

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.

Lead paint test kits are not always accurate. Several factors can play into why a test kit provides an inaccurate result such as user error, sample viability, the age and condition of the paint, or difficulty interpreting the final result. If you are looking for 100% accuracy, hiring a professional lead paint test is the only way to get that piece of mind.

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.
