"Carmelo and Miguel did a superb job at removing leaves from our yard. We took advantage of the "deal" for 2 hours of work by 2 men, and prioritized the most important areas to focus on. Carmelo and Miguel were terrific, they worked hard to get as much done as possible within the time frame, and were very amenable to focusing on the main areas we requested help with. One thing we did not realize was that the time required to take the leaves to the disposal area needed to come out of the total time allotted, so we weren't able to get everything completed as we had hoped, but the job was well done, and the price paid was worth hiring someone to do it. Definitely would like to employ their service in the future."
"Jermaine and his guys were great. Arrived on Time and got the job done. I originally scheduled to have a ton of junk removed from my garage, but I mentioned my garbage disposal being broken and they were able repair it the very same day. I’d Definitely recommend Sunny’s Services, you now have a repeat customer. Thanx guys"
"They were able to complete the job in one day. They were professional and thorough. Our bedroom window no longer leaks! They did forget to finish one section of a window but immediately sent someone back out to fix it. Would re hire for any house project"
"Three Mountain Landscaping is wonderful! We used them to do a major clearing and clean-up on our wooded property. We bought this property and the yard had been neglected for years. Branches, leaves, and debris had piled up everywhere. The crews were hardworking, polite, and communicative. They were extremely effective."
"They were up front and honest with thier pricing on junk removal. And had the best pricing compared to others in the area. Blake arrived on time, worked quickly, efficiently and professionally was able to get everything to fit in one load. I will be hiring them again."
"We have been using them for two years now and they have been so great!! Mowing, spring and fall cleanups, planting and maintenance on garden beds. We are so very happy we found them. They even do our snow removal. They are like family to us now! Thanks Oscar, Gonzalo amd team. We appreciate you!"
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.
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?
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.
Professionals are trained in identifying hazardous materials and utilize industry-approved methods for safe handling and disposal. They adhere to regulatory frameworks to protect health and the environment, ensuring all materials are disposed of safely and responsibly.
Professional lead-paint abatement companies use a variety of methods to remove lead-based paint, depending on each particular situation.
Some of the most common methods include:
Total removal: $8–$17 per square foot
Demolition and replacement: $1,000–$15,000 per project
Encapsulation: $4 per square foot
Enclosure: $10 per square foot
Chemical stripping: $10–$17 per square foot
