"Work was well done. I had some asbestos tape that was contracted with another company. Teasdale required that to be taken care of before any work done. It was done very quickly. Two guys performed the work. There was gobs of dust removed. It took around three hours, mostly because I had never had the ducts cleaned before. They cleaned up and charged me for the cost of the coupon,bplus the extra air duct. I will use them again for regular maintenance."

"We were preparing to build a new deck and needed our house power washed and some of the window and door trim painted. The house is three stories high in the back and I am not comfortable working on ladders at that height. Thankfully, John is. We contacted several people (all off of Angie's List) and John was the first to get back with us. His plan and estimate matched what we wanted and was reasonably priced.
Even though some of the respondents considered it a small project, John took his time and went through the details with us. While others were ambiguous regarding when they could do it and how long it would take, John was very specific and lived up to his promise. He showed up exactly on time and well prepared. He began working and continued to work through the project's completion. He was very conscientious and considerate.
While he was doing some of the projects, we added several additional items onto the list and he was agreeable to the added projects. What started out as a $250 project doubled in cost, but pleasantly so. We were impressed with John's work ethic and attitude. He was very agreeable to the tasks that we added as we went and was very accommodating to our needs. We couldn't have chosen more wisely.
John will be the first person I call for future projects around the house."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.

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.

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.
