"We had major flooding in our finished basement after the 3/20 storms. Phil and his crew did the drying and clean up for us, removing the debris and pretty much getting it back into useable condition. Courteous, reliable, and prompt. For what they had to do their fee was reasonable."

"Tom and his crew did an excellent job removing a soffit in my kitchen, removing drywall where a tile backsplash was removed, and repairing both. The ceiling has a rosebud texture and the matching ceiling texture Tom applied is perfect (in the attached photo the left side is old texture and the right is the repair). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any drywall repair or ceiling repair work."

"Excellent! Everything went perfect, from buying my windows from D'Shae to Lanny and Kevin installing them. What a pleasure to do business with America's Best Choice. In this day and age it is hard to find quality products and quality service and I received both. When Lanny and Kevin left there was no mess or clean up for me, like they were never here but I had beautiful new windows."

"His responsiveness obviously is super duper, super duper, super duper. He comes at 6 o'clock in the morning, that's pretty darn good to me. He went to the home improvement store first, bought it and came over to install it; unbelievable. His punctuality is pretty darn good, excellent! I would absolutely use him again in the future."

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. 

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

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.

At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy. Follow instructions meticulously, ensuring proper sample collection and test execution. While they can detect elevated lead levels, for precise confirmation or if results are concerning, consider professional testing or lab analysis for comprehensive accuracy and guidance on addressing any issues.

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.
