"Went extremely well. Phillip Clarke was the service provider from Rescue Services, and he was nothing but professional. When dealing with water damage and personal property loss it's an extremely disheartening and frustrating experience, however Phillip was empathetic to our plight and did everything necessary to remove any additional no hardships that go along with problems like this. It's rare these days to find great customer service coupled with excellent work and professionalism, but this company does it right. Would definitely recommend them to anyone with flooding issues."

"$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."

"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

DIY kits are available for basic air quality testing, but professional services provide more comprehensive results and recommendations. While a DIY kit may seem cost-effective, a professional assessment is more thorough. Inspectors are better equipped to catch all pollutants and hazards, and you'll still need a professional to verify and act on DIY test results. Furthermore, some kits don't test for certain pollutants or only detect their presence without measuring specific levels (like mold spores). It's generally better to opt for a detailed professional assessment.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.

Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to detect asbestos, radon, and VOCs.
