Q: Can I remove lead paint from floors on my own?

• <div><p>If your home was built before 1978, there&rsquo;s a chance that any paint on your hardwood floors could be lead paint&mdash;especially if it was already there when you moved in. Because lead is toxic, hiring a licensed pro to remove it is mandatory. The <a href="https://www.homeadvisor.com/cost/environmental-safety/remove-toxic-lead/">average price for professional lead paint removal ranges</a> from <b>$1,500 to $5,300 </b>and depends on the scope of the project.</p></div>

Q: Is exterior paint toxic after it dries?

• <div><p>Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you&rsquo;re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint&rsquo;s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.</p></div>

Q: What products do I use to clean up lead dust?

• <div><p>You may see specialty products for sale to remove lead dust, such as D-Lead surface wipes. But you do not need to buy a special cleaner just for lead dust. A regular all-purpose cleaner, like 409 or something similar, is sufficient for cleanup. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer's directions when using it and to dilute with water.</p></div>

Q: What does lead dust look like?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.</p></div>

Q: Are old roof shingles toxic?

• <div><p>If your roof was constructed between 1930 and 1970, there&rsquo;s a possibility that the shingles contain asbestos. If that&rsquo;s the case, you should hire a professional for repairs and replacement, as they&rsquo;ll have the necessary equipment to stay safe from such a hazardous and cancer-causing substance. If your home was constructed after this period, it&rsquo;s unlikely that the shingles in place are toxic. In most cases, asbestos shingles are not recyclable, while standard asphalt shingles are recyclable.</p></div>

"I recently hired Atlas Moving to help with the removal of some old furniture, and I couldn't be more impressed with their service. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The team arrived on time and was incredibly professional. What stood out most was how careful they were; they navigated tight corners and doorways with ease, ensuring no damage was done to my walls or floors during the process. Beyond their efficiency, the pricing was excellent. I received a very fair quote that was significantly more competitive than other services I looked into, with no hidden fees or surprises at the end. If you’re looking for a moving company that is reliable, respectful of your property, and offers a great value, I highly recommend Atlas Moving. I’ll definitely be reaching out to them for any future needs!"
