"Very professional. Talked with Todd the owner. He was very knowledgeable and hesitant to give me an estimate to remove the flooring if tested positive. I pushed the issue and sent him photos and dimensions of the room. He came back with an estimate. The price he gave me for testing and removal wasn’t in my budget. I hired another Pro for testing. The test came back negative for any traces of asbestos."

"The quality of the job was excellent - the team was polite, professional and did a perfect job.  There was no mess at all and the work is beautiful.  I couldn't ask for a better appearance, but was concerned about the long day the team worked.  They started at 8AM and continued past 7PM.
I did, however, have issues with scheduling.  The owner and I originally talked about an early July completion date and it was the end of August before the job was completed.  I sent emails every other week or so to ask about updated schedule since I had purchased a Big Deal for the deck and didn't want it to expire. 
The cost was also higher than I expected - we went back and forth on estimates as I'd removed my balcony and then - after having it reduced in size by a different contractor - added it back to the job.  So I'm a bit confused about final pricing but given the quality of the work, that wasn't overly important to me. 
The owner did talk about focusing on a smaller geographic area which may help with the overall focus with scheduling and job management.  But the work is absolutely beautiful regardless.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Professional lead removal involves identifying and safely removing or encapsulating lead-based paints and materials, using specialized equipment, and following strict safety procedures to minimize exposure and contamination.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.

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.

Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.
