"We received an asbestos inspection/test for our old plaster walls and ceiling areas. The turn around times were fantastic - inspector was in our area and able to fit us in the same day I called. Sample results and accompanying lab report were emailed within 36 hours. All samples were analyzed by a local lab accredited under the NIST NVLAP Asbestos Fiber Analysis Lab Accreditation Program, so I felt comfortable trusting the results. The inspector seemed very knowledgeable and helped walk us through any areas that could be of concern. Thankfully all samples were negative, but the modest inspection and sampling fees were well worth the piece of mind during our remodel. In short, I highly recommend this company for asbestos testing/inspections."

"Gina Raspa was wonderful to work with.  She responded within 24 hours to my email and she performed the testing within 4 days of my first contact.  Everything went smoothly thanks to her willingness to respond as soon as possible.
The news was much better than we expected and Gina gave me 3 recommendations for companies who could successfully perform the clean-up.
Thanks to Gina, we were able to move the family into the house without fear of future health issues.
I give Gina and her company the highest ratings because she earned them.

"Joey and his team member Carlos were extremely focused on providing us with high quality workmanship at a reasonable price. They did an incredible job of keeping the area clean when they left for the day and were customer friendly. They did their work like they would want it done at their own home. I would highly recommend Elite Painting to anyone looking for quality, affordable paint/drywall work!"

"For the removal of large scale mold and mildew, I recommend you contact RaShaun Murphy of Home Remedies. He recently undertook the task of removing the mold and mildew which had been slowly but steadily growing in my basement over the last several years. Some drywall was seriously affected as were most of the wooden shelves and nearly every other poress surface in that space. Mr. Murphy came to my home and performed a thorough assessment of the damage and provided me with a detailed description of what needed to be done and the cost necessary to make the space safe and inhabitable. He worked quickly and within my budget without compromising the quality of service. It's refreshing to see someone so dedicated to their profession and the work ethic not to just do the job but make things as they should be. I hope I never need remediation services again, but if I do, I know who to call!

"I knew there was mold in the corner of the basement, but when a heat pump cleaning showed that it was spreading throughout the house,  I decided to do something about it right away.  Jumping to the end of the story--the black mold has been removed and the areas seems ok.  Mr. Johnson of Environmental Trust Solutions recommended having the air quality tested and I plan to do that.
However my experience with Environmental Trust Solutions was far from satisfactory.  My first mistake was failing to read carefully the reviews on Angie's List.  I just called and asked to have the mold problem evaluated.  My next mistake was accepting Mr. Johnson's response that he would come the very next day and bring a crew with him..
He came as promised.  He said they could take care of the mold problem and described what would be done.  Another mistake on my part was not insisting on a written estimate or agreement.  He did not offer anything written.  He gave me a price which I suspected was too high, but I must have stopped thinking by that time and accepted it.
So they went to work and as far as I can tell did an acceptable job.  They used a machine with a plastic tube to vent the moldy air.  They had to replace one stud and a section of the wall board.  They used a water proofing material on the affected area and on an adjacent section of the wall for good measure.  They cleaned up very well.
Mr. Johnson emailed me a certificate of completion.  It says his work is guaranteed, provided there is no leakage.  He did not say anything about the condition of the soil outside this part of the basement wall that could cause leakage.  But I plan to have that checked also.  

This company did the job I paid them for in spite of my doubts. I followed the recommendation to have another company test for mold several days later. The other company confirmed that everything is fine and my basement is free of mold.

"Overall, I was very impressed even with the installation delays, which took a few days longer than they initially expected. However, John and his crew were professional, extremely responsive, honest and quite apologetic for the delay. In my experience, contractors tend to blame the supplier for the delay but John took full ownership with the issue and was very accommadating to work with my schedule to ensure that all was completed before our furniture arrived.
Having worked with many construction firms and construction associates in my career, I must say that John and his crew were probably the most responsive and up-front people I have been lucky to have worked with on any renovation project. What I appreciated most about them was that they were very forthcoming and took ownership when issues arose (as they always do in any renovation) and they did what was necessary to get the job professionally completed in a timely manner. Plus, their pricing was competitive and their attention to detail was almost as neurotic as I am.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

No, a standard home inspection includes the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.

Lead removal services typically cost between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the extent of lead presence, the property size, and the complexity of the abatement process.

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. 

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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.
