"It Went great. David returned our call promptly. Came out and gave us a very fare quote. We set a date and time. David and his crew were right on schedule. They removed that large tree and debris completely. They trimmed up the other tree touching our roof. They literally cleaned and raked up anything left of the tree and debris. They did an incredible job, and they did it quickly. I can honestly say I was very impressed with there work and professionalism. I will refer David to all my friends and neighbors."

"It was good to have a comparative estimate for the damage our home sustained. I later found out that the company has a training company for insurance adjusters. The owners were trained by some of the top Insurance providers & wanted to offer the service to homeowners & agents. The ease of talking with them about the claim process & feeling less like a dummy for not knowing what is my insurance policy (they helped me with that too) relieved my anxiety a whole lot."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, 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.

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.

You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.

The average cost of a lead paint inspection is about $600, but it can cost as low as $150 or as much as $800, depending on the size of the area, geographic location, and the inspection methods. Some of the most common lead paint inspection methods include:

  • Visual inspection: $150–$400

  • Paint sampling: $200–$600

  • X-ray fluorescence (XRF): $250–$700

  • Risk assessment: $300–$800

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.
