"CSI was flexible and was able to schedule a home inspector the day after I got a bid accepted on a house. The inspector, Patrick, showed up on time and the inspection took about 4 hours. Patrick was responsive to any questions I had by email or live during the inspection. My one recommendation is that I requested a pest, mold, radon, and home inspection. It would be a better heads up if they explained that they sometimes outsource the radon inspection depending on availability of radon inspectors. Also, they can explain a bit more for new home buyers what is involved with a mold inspection. Patrick ended up just eyeing whether he spotted any mold. Because he did not see any mold, we did not have to pay extra for mold samples."

I interviewed 5 contractors before selecting Jim Hicks and his group.  Jim came across as honest and forthright, I did not get a sales pitch.  He listened to what I wanted and came back with a fair quote.  It wasn't the least expensive, and it wasn't the highest.  He took the time to meet with us twice before we could decide. 

After selecting him, he set us up with his general contractor, Justin.  I felt comfortable working with Justin from the very start.  He made himself accessible to me at all times, by phone, text or email.  He constantly kept me in the loop on what was happening when, which team would be working, and worked harm to make sure we were inconvenienced as little as possible.  He took time to explain what was being done, in what order, and why.  His teams; the engineer, brick workers, framers, and drywall installers were all very professional.  They all worked together, and showed respect for each other, Justin, and our home.  One structural issue came up, and Justin halted work immediately until it could be addressed and resolved. We have a steel home, so attaching the roof presented some challenges.  He continually worked hard to make sure I was getting what I wanted and worked with me on designing and deciding on details as they came up.  Justin paid very close attention to details so that the finished project was correct, many of which I wouldn't have thought of, or known enough to ask.

The project from start to finish took from April to October, came within a couple thousand of the original quote (because of some added features) and I am thrilled with the results.  In order to save money, we requested to do the finishing work ourselves; trim work, tiling, door frames, painting, etc..  They were very flexible, working with our requests, and did everything they could to make our work easy and offered helpful suggestions along the way. 

The room is beautiful, exactly what I wanted.  It works seamlessly with the rest of the home, and doesn't look like an addition.  We will definitely use them again if another project comes up.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

How you test for lead in your water depends on the source of your home's water supply. If you have municipal water, your local water system may offer to test the water for free or may connect you to a lab that will perform the testing.

If you have a private well that provides drinking water, you are responsible for testing it for lead. Look for a lab that is accredited by your state's Department of Environmental Protection to perform the test.

Avoid disturbing suspected lead-containing materials and follow professional guidance on sample collection.

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.

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.
