"Tom gets a 10/10 in my book!! He was very professional but friendly; TLG Clean Outs will definitely be doing any future removals for me and the rest of my family. Not only did he get the job done, he reached out and called us on a holiday to make sure it wasn't an emergency. We needed a few items removes from our curb and he came thru. So thank you, I highly recommend!"
"Very easy process from first call to pickup. After calling the office, they contacted the crew and the crew stopped by later that day to see the items to be hauled away to give me a price for services. I agreed to the price and they scheduled me for the next day for pickup. Called me the next day with a arrival time for pickup and showed when promised to remove the items. A very efficient and professional transaction."
"Fabiano and his son did an excellent job. The house is over 100 years old and one is always braced for collateral damage when doing work like removing an old staircase and installing a new one. The removal went smoothly with no problems and the new staircase is beautiful. The work is quality and everything was clean when done. We are extremely happy with the new stairs. Will definitely have them back again for more projects."
"Matt, Johnny,& Louis from Yards Apart Landscaping did a great job removing my old sparse, weed infested lawn. They enriched the existing soil with many cubic yards of new top soil and planted a whole new lawn of sod. They were punctual, friendly, hard working, and did a wonderful job. They even worked around an on street parking issue in front of our house"
"I hired Gary to remove overgrown ivy on the side of my house that was encroaching into my roof. He was the first to call me back directly, asked all the right questions to understand the scope of work and requested photos. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had experience doing this type of work. He gave me a quote that was very reasonable for the tedious process it takes to remove ivy from brick. We discussed some future landscaping projects on my wish list. I would absolutely hire him again."
"My advice to anyone needing junk removed from a home, call PA Junk Solutions LLC. My wife and I purchased a home 70 miles from our home that we lived in for 45 years. I don't think I have to explain how much stuff is accumulated in 45 years and after 3 kids. I checked Angi for junk removal service and the young lady from PA Junk Solutions LLC contacted me within minutes. I mentioned that our home needed to be cleaned out before it was being shown on the market, and that was in 2 days. They had their men, a father and son team at the house the next day, I pointed to what I needed removed and they went to it. They amazed me. They had their pickup truck box and a 12' trailer filled with my junk in just a few hours. Not only did they remove the junk, but they also swept and cleaned up the areas they removed stuff from AND ran a wheeled Magnet to pick up any fallen nails or screws in the yard, sidewalk and road. Thank you PA Junk Solutions. You are the BEST."
"Was more than happy with Coopers Removal Services. I hired them for an early spring removal and was more than pleased with the outcome. They were cheaper than my last year's hire and seemed to be family family-owned business which is nice. I recommend getting a quote from them before looking else where. Thank you guys."
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.
If lead is detected in a property, steps should include arranging for professional removal or containment, notifying all occupants, and implementing interim safety measures to reduce exposure.
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.
While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.
By using PPE, sealing work areas, and following containment procedures.
