"We reached out to ERS after a traumatizing house fire. They were amazingly professional, caring, prompt, and knowledgeable in every aspect of helping us with demolition to rebuild. They were our angels and have helped us through an extremely challenging time. We would definitely call on Chad and his team again if we ever needed any home damage service."

"The price was great, we did purchase a lot of stuff ourselves
(appliances, faucet etc)  so the price was more for their labor and
coordination between all the different folks that need to work on the
house.  We removed most of the plaster on the wall that was being
removed, and painted ourselves.
Jim and Justin turned our tiny  one person kitchen into a space that many people can enjoy at one time.  There were snags along the way, it is an old house, that caused some  delays, like the ceiling coming down on the carpenters, but Justin did everything he possibly could to ensure the job  stayed on track and as close to what we budgeted as possible.  Their office coordinator Sharon made it easy to  contact and set up appointments with the cabinet makers and flooring  folks.
The only thing we marked down was punctuality, and that was because some of the subcontractors weren't always on time.  The project was slated to take 3-5 weeks, and it took a little over 3 months. This was also due to unexpected add ons, such a new ceiling had to go up and more plaster had to be removed from sections of wall."

"
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

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.

Lead paint test kits are not always accurate. Several factors can play into why a test kit provides an inaccurate result such as user error, sample viability, the age and condition of the paint, or difficulty interpreting the final result. If you are looking for 100% accuracy, hiring a professional lead paint test is the only way to get that piece of mind.

Determining if your water main contains lead involves a few steps. First, check the age of your property, as homes built before the 1980s might have lead pipes. Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

Lead exposure poses serious health risks, particularly for children, and can be present in paint, pipes, and soil.

Iron sediments from rusty pipes are not likely to cause health problems. While a glass of yellow-hued water is off-putting, it is generally safe to drink yellow water in the short term. But you certainly want to address this problem. In the meantime, switching to bottled water until the yellow water issue is resolved is a good idea.
