"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"

"Double Tree did a great job at a fair price. They took a tree down in my neighbors
yard and that is how I met Tonny and then hired him to trim branches away
from my roof with his bucket truck. The house looks much better now and
he trimmed just the right amount of branches to uncover the roof but
help maintian privacy between our house and our neighbors. They did a
good job cleaning up after the job. I would highly recommend them to
anyone looking for tree removal and maintenance.

Lead Testing and Removal FAQs, 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. 

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.

You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it’s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.

Yes, testing professionals typically provide reports with recommendations for safe lead removal.

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.
