"<p>The power washing, minor repairs, painting of facia, trim, and garage doors went well, as well as the entire home painting. Very nice job all the way around. There was some minor paint splatter or drips on some of the plants and pavers, but their final clean up took care of all of this sufficiently. </p> <p>Our difficulty came when a minor rotted trim board on the back facia extended through the stucco and had been leaking behind the stucco. I knew I was going to have some rotted wood behind the stucco under the small hole, but unfortunately, it extended a long ways across the back of the house, far more extensive than planned or was in our budget. This was original contractor deficiency in building, not properly sealing joints between the stucco. Aaron and his carpenter Robert were very explanatory as they continued to open up the back of the house, as I instructed them to do so, so we could fix it right. They eventually stopped and suggested I contact my insurance agent at Farmers, who told me it would not be covered, but that I might try the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA). TWIA officials were very cordial and contracted with an adjuster, who came out within 4 days to do a complete inspection and turn in his report. Unfortunately, I was completely denied, because it was not a one-time event, but happened over many years (I bought the home 3 years ago and it is 11 years old). </p> <p>Aaron gave me what I believe was a fair price, although it doubled my initial outlay for painting only, and we are very satisfied with the workmanship and look of the finished project.</p> <p>Ultimately, I would hire S&S again to do more work for me, because the price seemed fair and the workmanship and professionalism of the team was good.</p>"

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Alice, TX

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a strong chance it contains lead-based paint. Many pre-1980 houses also contain lead in their plumbing and decorative materials, so age alone is a significant red flag. Older homes near industrial areas face an even higher risk. Because you can’t confirm lead by sight, scheduling a test is the safest way to protect your family.

In older houses, lead can lurk in painted trim, window sashes, soil around the foundation, plumbing pipes, and even vintage hardware. The metal is toxic, and children and pregnant women are most at risk. Exposure can trigger developmental delays, learning problems, and organ damage. Because the EPA links even low levels to serious health effects, test every suspected surface and address any hazards right away.

A positive test means lead is present somewhere you can touch, breathe, or disturb. The next step is a full risk assessment to map exactly where the hazard lies and outline the safest fix: encapsulation, enclosure, or full removal. Repairs start at $1,000 but can exceed $10,000 for complete elimination, so act quickly and hire certified pros to keep your family safe.

EPA lead certification proves that inspectors, risk assessors, and abatement contractors follow federal safety rules under the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Program. The credential costs an average of $300, and certified professionals can legally test, contain, or remove lead hazards. Hiring a certified pro protects you from fines and ensures the work meets strict health standards.

Lead-based paint looks no different from any other paint, so you can’t identify it by color or sheen. Even flawless walls may hide it. If paint starts chipping, flaking, or peeling, schedule a professional test right away. Only laboratory-grade testing confirms lead and guides the safest fix for your home.
