"Had a great experience with Chris Kuper at Basement Detective! My basement flooded from non-stop storms and I needed a sump pump installed along with complete renovation of my basement. They were very competitive in pricing and outstanding in results. Chris even helped coordinate with the contractor doing my basement renovation after the sump was installed to make sure none of the drainage was disturbed by the new work being done. I have since weathered at least 3 large storms and can hear the sump working as needed. Very happy with the results!"

"From start to finish Customer Home was fantastic. They were very responsive and quick to come for an estimate. Bill, the sales person was straightforward and didn’t try to push upgrades. Communications were open throughout, from reminders before install and the entire day of install. The site manager was helpful and friendly, they even made sure the majority of the debris were picked up. I did find almost a dozen nails in my driveway but attributed this to not being able to clean under the dumpster. I had estimates by other companies that was almost double the price. The materials used were quality and not just pulled from a box store. They also have a great warranty. I only wish they did more than just external improvements. They would be my top choice of business to work in the future."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

If your house was built before 1978 and you’re noticing cracking or peeling paint, a lead paint inspection is a good idea. A lead paint inspection gives you accurate information about the presence, location, and condition of lead-based paint in your home. This information is essential for making informed decisions about lead paint removal to ensure your safety and health and that of your family. If your inspector finds lead, you’ll need to take steps to manage or remove the lead-based paint and comply with laws and regulations.

Lead testing in residential properties involves collecting samples from paint, dust, soil, or plumbing and analyzing them in certified laboratories to accurately identify lead levels.

Most tests provide results within 2-7 days, but expedited services may be available for urgent situations.

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.

Properties should be tested for lead every 2-3 years, especially if they are older, have undergone renovations, or show deterioration of paint or interior finishes.
