"I would recommend Vantage Point to anyone in a heartbeat.  From start to finish, our relationship with Vantage Point was entirely positive.  Although we had wanted lap siding on all sides, we knew we could not afford to put it on more than the front, with bat and board the rest. Because the company's owners, Matt and Katie Hazen, knew the all-lap siding would look better and was what we really wanted, they worked their bid down so that we could afford lap all around.  Still their bid was the lowest bid we received.
The result is spectacular.  The house looks brand new -- better, in fact, than when we built it twenty-seven years ago; and it looked pretty great then.  The team's attention to detail was remarkable, and everyone on the team was an absolute pleasure to have around.  They were some of the best craftsmen I have ever watched work, and they were clearly enjoying the work and each other's company.  We were actually sad to see them finish up and leave.
Once they were gone, you would not have known they had been there, except that the house had been transformed.  The worksite was completely clean of debris, tools, etc.  
As the siding was completed, the painting crew arrived, and they were just as skilled and just as delightful. In fact, when I asked the lead painter how best to paint our front door, which was not part of the project, he insisted on taking care of it himself for no extra charge.  It did not take him long, and it looks great -- a lot better than my poor attempt of a few years ago that was bubbling and peeling off.
All in all, Vantage Point's owners and their entire team are something special.  They are affordable, and they are true craftsmen. They are like something from a different era.

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Bird-city, KS

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.
