"Brown Sterling Builders did an excellent job on my kitchen remodel. The crew were a dream to work with and very professional. They made sure everything was executed per my design and completed to my satisfaction. Brown Sterling has some real skilled carpenters representing the company. Just for reference, I had new granite countertops and glass backsplash installed; kitchen faucet and sink installed; the old ceiling light box removed and replaced with recessed lights and pendant lights; recessed lights installed in the adjoining family room; pipes replaced under the kitchen sink; the area of the cabinets where the old stove, oven and microwave resided was cut away to make room for a new professional grade slide-in range and hood; installed a new vent for the range hood, which had to run through the ceiling and out the roof; dismantled the old vent that was used with the old microwave and sealed off the outside hole using bricks to match the house; custom niche built for placement of new microwave; installed new appliances; kitchen plugs replaced; kitchen cabinets were painted. I highly recommend Brown Sterling Builders."

We provide the service; we sell licenses to carefully selected providers who can qualify for certification in the Rx4MOLD regimen. And we provide training and support to them.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.

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

Several different measurements may be used to determine the amount of lead in water. The most common unit of measurement is micrograms per liter (µg/L), which is the same as parts per billion. Another measurement is milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is the same as parts per million.
