"I would recommend this company for asbestos abatement. I was very grateful that they were able to help me in such short notice to remove the asbestos when another company did not show. I thought their price was pretty fair and was told by the mold testing company that they do good work. I would not hire this company to do anything else. I was in a bind and got a quote on what it would be to mud and paint the ceiling and paint the house. I was very very unhappy with the quality of the work of the painters he hired. I feel I should have been deeply reimbursed or discounted because the paint job was so bad. They got plaster everywhere on my kitchen cabinets and are unable to remove it so I must just look at it. They did not replace some of my lights and there are cracks in the seems and every worker I have comments on how bad the paint job is. Very dissapointed that I spent so much money for that. They came out to try and fix it and it was not even fixed. Maybe a little better on the ceilings. It was extremely hard to get the electrician that I hired through them to come up and finish the job here in Charleston. I believe he lived a few hours away and everything was just a headache. He was unable to find a certain part and I ended up having to research and find it online. We lost at least a week while he was looking for that."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.

If your house was built before 1978 and you’re noticing cracking or peeling paint, a lead paint inspection is a good idea. A lead paint inspection gives you accurate information about the presence, location, and condition of lead-based paint in your home. This information is essential for making informed decisions about lead paint removal to ensure your safety and health and that of your family. If your inspector finds lead, you’ll need to take steps to manage or remove the lead-based paint and comply with laws and regulations.

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.

No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.

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
