"Jim Hicks came out to the house and did a water test on our roof to determine the source of the leak. Previously we had another company come out and repair it with no luck. Jim found three leaks on the roof, all confirmed with a water test. Crew was scheduled quickly and they were very efficient. Best news is that the leaks are finally repaired and we can rest easy.

"
very good, provided helpful suggestions, very fair pricing even with change orders,. His strong point is that he knows what he is doing and does good work.  The majority of what I paid was do on completion of the job.  I'm a mechanical engineer and I'm used to working with people that have very good technical skills.   Mr. Newman may not have an engineering degree but he has a very good understanding of the technical aspects of construction and he has a good sense of what looks good.  He'd be a rich man if he had fewer interests and worked a 60 hr week."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Hiring a professional for mold and toxic material testing ensures precise identification of harmful substances within a home. Professionals utilize specialized equipment and techniques, providing accurate results that inform proper removal strategies, safeguarding occupant health.

Professional lead testing services typically cost between $200 and $500, with the price varying based on the extent of testing and the specific areas tested within the property.

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.

If lead is detected in a property, steps should include arranging for professional removal or containment, notifying all occupants, and implementing interim safety measures to reduce exposure.

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.
