"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."

"$100 for vents, another $75 for the main coming from furnace. They were very friendly and not at all pushy for additional services. Took about an hour, and now I can tell a difference. Would definitely use them again."

"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."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint—especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The average price for professional lead paint removal ranges from $1,500 to $5,300 and depends on the scope of the project.

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. 

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.
