"We are a repeat customer of Adam Contracting and will continue to use the company. They have done an excellent job on everything we've hired them to do; this project was no exception. The room looks great! For this project, Adam Contracting redid wainscotting in the room and added a shelf, did wall repair, installed crown molding, painted the walls and trim, and installed a light fixture."

"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."

"These guys were AWESOME. They arrived within 90 minutes, assessed, estimated, and had equipment already with them to handle our flooding. They moved the furniture, explained how it all worked, came back half way through (it was a 3 day process), moved the fans, and then put it all back when they were done at the end of the 3rd day. If every company worked like this - had staff as professional, friendly, and reassuring as these guys - there'd be no need for a better business bureau! Love them. Don't hesitate to use them!"

"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."

"Christian and his team were fantastic! We needed our basement re-finished after some flooding with the recent rains. They responded promptly with a quote and came in to do the demo before the waterproofing company installed a sump pump. They were flexible when we ran into some delays with the waterproofing, and showed up when we were ready to start. They provided creative solutions for how to re-finish the space to make it even more functional than before. Communication with the team was great, quality workmanship, and all at a great value. We'll definitely look to them again for any future work. Thank you!!"

"I found the company on Angie’s List and it seemed like a good company. He was good. He was very fair, honest, and told me I did not have a problem; he did not take advantage of my worries. He seemed very professional and was very informative in telling me what I should do and look for in the future if I ever had any concerns. It was safe to stay at home when he did it; he was looking in a socket kind of thing where the air conditioning duct goes through. He did that and also tested the air. It was fine; it was not invasive at all. I thought he did a thorough check and I also thought the price was very reasonable. He said exactly when he said he would come and it was not a long delay from between the phone call and the appointments."

"We had a big leak at our home with the last huge rain storm, and water was literally “rained” down our dinning room chandelier. Called Restoration 1 & within 30min, Georg & his team member came out to our home to investigate where the leak came from. Then stayed until past 1am to secure the room, install the machine to dry up to prevent future damage & mold. Georg also recommended us to a great roofing company to further investigate the leak & fixed it. 2 days after, Georg & his team returned, double checked to ensure all wetness were fixed & removed all instruments. Very timely & professional. Totally recommending Georg & his team at Restoration 1."

FAQs for lead testing and removal projects in Merrifield, VA

Lead paint removal costs about $3,600, ranging from $1,500 to $5,800, depending on several factors, such as square footage, removal method, and its location in your home. Keep in mind that lead paint removal costs $8 to $17 per square foot, ensuring a permanent and maintenance-free fix.

Additional cost factors for lead paint removal include:

  • Location

  • Materials and equipment needed

  • Disposal method

  • Accessibility

  • Surface types

  • Repairs needed

  • Labor

Professional lead-paint abatement companies use a variety of methods to remove lead-based paint, depending on each particular situation. Some of the most common methods include:

  • Total removal: $8–$17 per square foot

  • Demolition and replacement: $1,000–$15,000 per project

  • Encapsulation: $4 per square foot

  • Enclosure: $10 per square foot

  • Chemical stripping: $10–$17 per square foot

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

A professional lead paint removal company should remove any lead-based paint from your home. You should not remove or paint over it yourself because handling lead-based paint poses health risks, according to the EPA. Professionals trained and certified to handle lead-based paint abatement use specialized equipment like HEPA vacuums and methods like chemical stripping and abrasive blasting to remove paint and particles as safely as possible. They are also trained on how to properly dispose of lead-based paint material.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?
