"Baker&Taylor LLC took on a very difficult house reconstruction project that was accomplished through two contracts.
  • They saved significant costs by working out a method of reconstruction that did not require a separate house lifting contract.
  • They provided good value workmanship.
  • Change order pricing was fair.  
  • The contractor was flexible in resolving detailed design issues, and was enthusiastic about the challenge of the project, as well as proposing creative design solutions that were incorporated into the project. 
  • This contractor - Soren Smelz-Taylor - can be trusted to follow through on his commitments.
This was a very difficult project - the entire original wood frame foundation was replaced with a single pour integrated concrete slab and footing.  The original wood foundations had failed. There was significant settlement of the bearing walls; and the house frame had to be jacked up, stabilized, and reinforced before the concrete foundation was formed and then placed.  A laminated beam frame, to support the second floor, replaced the original frame walls and opened up the first floor area to facilitate rehabilitation. The owner resided on the second floor while all the work was done.

There was a second contract to replace the roof and install new fiber cement siding over a rain screen system.  The house front wall was finished with a unique coffered panel design that the contractor developed and refined in order to install an integrated sliding garage door, as well as fit with the other building elements such as windows and entry stairway. 

The end result of this work is a born again house. The original house was decrepit and close to a demolition project because of it's structural condition. Baker&Taylor turned it into a very attractive home that now has a future."

Lead Testing and Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you’re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint’s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.

Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.

You can expect to pay between $200 and $400 for a lead inspection, where your local lead testing pro will scan surfaces and items with an X-ray fluorescent analyzer. Lead risk assessments are slightly different and run around $800 to $2,000. A pro may find lead during an evaluation, and create a removal strategy.

Services test for allergens, mold, VOCs, and carbon monoxide levels to ensure a healthy indoor environment.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
