"Representative arrived before the scheduled time (which was not a problem for us).  We requested lead paint testing of the kitchen area where some minor modifications were to be done.  Testing was a requirement from the contractor.
He offered to test other adjacent areas at no charge.  He was friendly, polite and the whole process took less than 30 minutes.
Lastly, the cost was considerably less than other vendors, including the one referred by the big box home improvement store.

"Ron was absolutely wonderful and immediately allayed any fears I had concerning the mold remediation. When I first called him, he spent a considerable amount of time explaining about mold and his protocol in examining a site. After explaining that he uses the EPA guidelines in his recommendations for remediation, I knew I had the right man for my needs. He completely examined the affected area, took lab samples and sent me his very detailed preliminary report containing the treatment recommendations and a separate report with the lab results. Because this was for a rental unit with two small children within the family of occupants, I knew I had to be thorough and careful in my treatment approach. Ron gave me complete confidence in moving forward with a treatment plan. He very generously offered to guide the workmen I had hired to do the job so that the treatment would be done properly. I not only took him up on his offer, but arranged to have final lab testing done after treatment to make sure there was nothing left to cause future problems. Ron is completely professional, very knowledgeable and most generous with his time and professional support. He will be my only go to man for mold analysis and treatment recommendations. Highly recommend! ***UPDATE*** 1/17/11 When work was finally commenced on the property Ron had done testing on 1/7/11, the contractor thought he found another potential mold area behind the wall where the water damage had originated. Anxiously and in a near panic, I contacted Ron on Sunday 1/16/11 for his guidance on how to approach the problem. Ron guided the workman on what to do by phone, and then about an hour later came out to take a lab sample which ultimately came back clean. No mold was found behind the wall, by the way. All this on a football playoff Sunday! Ron is so awesomely superior in his service that he blows away the competition. He not only saved me thousands over a bid I had received from a mold remediation company for the job, but gave superlative support through the entire process. Before you spend thousands on a suspected mold remediation project, give Ron a call first. You will get an HONEST evaluation of your problem that just may save you thousands without tearing apart your house, but if it turns out that this is necessary - and he'll give you the no bull assessment - you can rest assured that Ron will give you outstanding guidance through the process to a clean finish."

"Mold was found behind the walls in our master bathroom during demolition for a remodel. We contacted 3 companies for mold remediation estimates. Circle Vision wasn't the cheapest, but their review of the site and estimate was the most thorough, and they made us confident that they would do their best to reduce the amount of additional repairs that would be required after remediation was over. Carlos was the lead for our project and he did a great job explaining every step of the work and was very easy to get ahold of for scheduling. Gus Jr. and Gus Sr. conducted the remediation at our house for 2 days. They arrived on time each day, protected the floor with paper, vaccumed and swept at the end of each day, and left the house cleaner than when they left. They were very professional and answered any questions we had. They left an air scrubber at the house for a few days to make sure all traces of mold were gone. They left the dining room wall covered with plastic so our toddler and cats wouldn't get in to the unfinished bathroom. When the inspector returned, he found everything was done to the letter and we passed inspection with no problems.

"He was very prompt in coming and was very knowledgeable and helpful. They kept me informed that he was running behind and when he would be here which I appreciated and they did not keep us in the dark. I am considering contacting them in the future."

"I've been planning remodeling my home for years, i finally decided to commit to it and called unique. my friend said they did great work in her home. i met with the same contractor and i really liked him. he spent 4 hours with me and went into detail about what he can do and how to bring my ideas to life.
i decided to move forward and start the work. the project took about 5 weeks to do everything. they started on my bathroom and i was scared at first when i saw everything being ripped out but see it come together is amazing. first the floors vanity and shower. they finished the bathroom in a little over a week. my jaw dropped when i saw the finished result.
i couldn't wait to see the kitchen done. everyone was really nice the workers covered everything. and cleaned up after they were done. i would definitely use them and refer them to anyone i know."

"The service was amazing. They mass off everything in the kitchen. So it was easy to keep living life without the molds. They finished everything in 2 days, and leave the house clean. They explained everything before they did the job, what they would do, what they found in the kitchen, and they make sure it won't come back. I recommend them to my friends. I would give 5stars 5+ if possible."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Avalon, CA

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.
