"Brad was very personable and thorough with his explanation of how the system worked. I appreciated that he took the time to explain how exactly the system worked for our home. I felt he really listened to what our specific needs were and that it was for the long-term. We had been given a quote of $5,900.00 to clean our A/C and ductwork, and we weren't told it was just a short term solution. We actually wound up saving money, and for that, I am especially thankful. Customer service is very important to us and we look forward to working with your company for many years to come. Will we recommend your service? Absolutely! Many thanks from Marge and Roger Lessard."

"I'm new to the area and called Neil when I found water pouring into the crawlspace of my new house whenever it rained. Neil came out with a member of his team and introduced himself and explained what they planned to look for based on my description. I led himself and his employee down to the crawl area and showed them the water entry point. I also voiced my concerns that on my inspection report when purchasing the house, they mentioned that the support pillars underneath had endured some erosion. While showing all of this to Neil, he noticed mold spots that were missed previously and suggested we do a mold test. He sent it out and within 24 hours the results had been returned with an unfortunate cocktail of mold. Neil went to work immediately that week and sprayed down my crawlspace thoroughly, as well as put down a brand new vapor barrier. All throughout the week he inspected the work to ensure everything was going according to plan. Once the mold had been remediated, he and his staff returned to the house within a few days time to begin the structural work which included pouring concrete and putting in new structural supports. The house ended up needing more work than we initially anticipated, but he was more than willing to work with us in the matter. He and his employee's were professional, friendly and supportive throughout the entire ordeal and they did their best to not interrupt my daily routine. They offer great work and I look forward to using their services in the future. I would recommend them to anyone looking for work similar to my own."

"Tony showed up five minutes early and I immediately started throwing my perception of contractors out of the window.  Tony took me through every aspect of the house giving me ideas of what I should do, what I shouldn't do, costs of each project and how to save money throughout the process.  You know when you're buying a product and the salesmen is going to answer every one of your questions in the way that will cause you to spend more money?? I didn't get that perception at all with Tony.  He was honest, even if it could possibly be a detriment to gaining him business.  He went over his credentials, experiences and history with older houses.  I explained to him how safety in regards to possible lead paint and asbestos were my priority as I will be living in the house and he outlined everything he would do if it was his own personal residence.  The thing I like about Structures By Design (and they should use this in their marketing) is that they really make you feel, and judging by their reviews, they actually do, treat any project as if they were doing it to their own homes. 
Reasons why I will choose Tony first for all work:
-He has a ton of expierence in the Buena Vista area with these older houses, I don't think there is anyone more qualified around here in regards to working with homes built in this part of the state.
-He is the ONLY contractor I've encountered that doesn't answer questions you ask for their benefit, that honesty is unprecedented in this type of business.
-Judging from the quality of their work on the internet, Angies List and articles I've read, their work is all about quality with price effectiveness thrown in there.  Long story short, it sounds like you get a lot of BANG for your buck.
I highly encourage anyone that needs some type of renovation done to their home to consult Tony before making any decisions, but that's just if you want it done right.

"My experience was very good.  They made sure I was covered under all of the permits and things like that.  They had a very fair price and listened to what I wanted.  They made suggestions on how to do the same thing and save a little money.  They were very good.  They were very professional and were there when they were supposed to be here.  If I had any issues afterwards like a touch up here and there, they would come back; it was not a problem.  I am thinking about using them again."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Colfax, NC

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.
