"I appreciated his willingness to educate me even though it meant he didn't get the job. That's honest! He also responded immediately and was very helpful and professional in addressing my questions. I would definitely contact him in the future."

"Excellent company! Very easy going in scheduling and doing the job AS SUPPOSED TO BE! They recommended a company for the drywall after the asbestos were removed. However, we said we will shop around. They were fine with the idea. We did go with the company that they recommended, though Synergy workers were punctual, professional, and on task. They have a supervisor who came twice to check on the work performed and the person who verified that no asbestos was present before we would come into the house. We did not do the whole house; definitely we will contract them when we need to do the rest. Everything as should be!"

"Communication was OK.  David Mouser was a bit spotty, but generally responded well. There was a lot of back and forth, until it was finally settled that the original contractor would pay Alliance to clean up the mess.  <br /> <br /> Alliance came in, set up, and in one day cleared the job. <br /> <br /> I took a little off the rating because I never quite got the followup I expected.  The first crew left all the sheeting and negative air pressure equipment in place and just left.  I later learned that's because a second crew is supposed to come by, do testing, and tear down.  I never saw the results of the testing and air sampling.  It was unclear how much of a mess the original fraudulent contractor had made: for example ducts may have been dragged through a suspended ceiling.  Having some test results would have given comfort that the job is really "done".  Instead the job was very constrained to just one area. <br /> <br /> Also unfortunately: one old unused asbestos boot got forgotten.  It was not on the bid list, there is no blame here, it just got overlooked.  The sad part is to clear that up means facing the entire process again: plastic sheeting, negative air pressure, bunny suited young workers... all for about 3 minutes of work to yank the duct. <br /> <br /> --------- <br /> Side note: all the workers were young.  Asbestos removal though may be a better job for the old.  If an Asbestos cancer takes 30 years to mature, then 60 or 70 year old workers face far fewer risks."

"I needed help evaluating the safety of my deck which was being rebuilt. David was very helpful, accommodating my schedule by coming in the evening. He was so thorough, courteous, informative and went above and beyond pointing out potential problem areas and giving me guidelines. I am extremely grateful and impressed with the outstanding customer service. Thank you David! :-) <br />"

"I had a great experience with them. They came in and filled up everything. They were in and out in a day. They took the required governmental tests. They had the results back the next morning. They did a great job. They came in and did the job. The other people that I ended up talking with, they were the most responsive and they came out and did the job when they said they were going to do it the way they said they were going to do it. They were very responsive. They were right on time. They were very professional. They took everything with them disposal wise."

"I selected three companies to interview for some wood repair on our stairs in the front of my house and a rotting post supporting exterior back stairs and to paint both the front and back. I decided to use a different company for the front and initially hired Doherty Restoration to work on the back--replace a rotting post on the back stairs of the house and to paint the entire exterior back and small deck . In working on the project, the company discovered extensive dry rot in the back. This problem occurred because of the work performed on my house by another contractor about 18 years ago. He had used cheap siding and did not build the deck correctly, which created a problem that I had no idea I had. Doherty Restoration came to my rescue by working with the City to get a permit for the dry rot repair and working around my vacation plans to get the work done as much as possible before the rains came. They had to remove the existing cheap siding, rebuild the deck, provide additional wrapping for the exterior, install new wood siding, and paint the exterior. Throughout this ordeal, I found Doherty Restoration to be responsive and caring. All the people who worked on the house were professional in their work on the job and in their demeanor. They were on time and put in a full day of hard work each day they worked on my house. I was very impressed with the quality of the work and their commitment to doing the work right. They also looked for ways to keep costs down for the homeowner and made many helpful suggestions. There were many times during the course of this project when I said and thought to myself, "Thank God I found these people." I had a bad experience with another contractor years ago in terms of the quality of the work and general dissatisfaction. Working with this company restored my faith that there are indeed some good contractors out there and they will do a good job for you. If you hire this company, you can be sure that they will get the job done right. I am very appreciative of the work done on my house and want to convey my heartfelt thanks to Patrick and his crew. I am thrilled with the work that they did and would not hesitate to recommend this company! <br />"

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Boyes Hot Springs, 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.
