"Irvens at Gifted Hands is a skilled professional who is polite and VERY hardworking. I was stuck on a project where I was trying to install a "floating" wall unit so I called Gifted Hands for help. Irvens responded quickly and made an appointment to visit my home to look it over. I was immediately impressed by his knowledge and his professionalism. I hired him immediately. The work he did was flawless. He took his time to see that everything was done with meticulous detail. Do yourself a favor and let Gifted Hands handle your next project. You will be very happy that you did..."

"Devon and his crew were professional, courteous and dedicated to providing the best quality of work. They showed up when promised and their work on spring clean up, mulching, trimming shrubs, edging, and tree removal left the property looking like a magazine photo for high end landscaping. We highly recommend Devon and his crew and will use them for all our future projects."

Small jobs welcome

"I never used Angi but so glad I did. All Elements llc came to my rescue. As a disabled Veteran I can not move much and needed a recliner sofa removed quick since a new one was being delivered within a few days. Angi sent me Mike from All Elements. I called he was so accommodated and said no worries. He came with his fiancee and they were so friendly, helpful and just wonderful people. I will be hiring them again in the Spring to help with my storage unit. I knew I was in good hands and was such a relief to have met Mike. Now I can sleep better at night."

Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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.

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.

You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.
