"Jack responded to my call right away. He visited my property and gave me an estimate quickly. Scheduling was easy. He worked with my time frame. He and his crew showed up as planned and started right away. His crew was excellent. They worked hard and got the abatement done in the estimated time frame. They worked efficiently and did a clean job with no problems. All necessary paperwork was done by Jack for the vermiculite removal. I recommend Jack and his company. "

"Mike came out and explained everything thoroughly for me which was great. They came in less than a week later and it only took the day to get everything done plus a day or 2 of the air circulation. They were easy to contact and very professional. Hometown was about $400 less than a different company that gave me an estimate."

"Extremely pleased with this decision! MC Painting is worth the time to review and support their business for an excellent job. They showed up on time. They were very conscientious about the quality of their work and the finished product exceeded my expectations. Mike is very no nonsense gentleman who runs the business. He was very visible, was part of the daily working crew and completely understands that his business is delivering a quality product with excellent service. MC Painting was not the cheapest painter who quoted me. For the price, I got a very professional crew. It was the same team from start to finish. Whatever little detail I pointed out, without hesitation Mike would be sure and take care of it. For that price, most little details weren't "add ons". They just want you happy with the end product and overall experience. Another gentleman on the crew named Gerri was a master painter and showed up like clockwork every morning with a smile and was super friendly and professional. The rest of the crew (Bryan, Mike's own sister and others) were very respectful and professional and over a three week period never once did I suspect they were less than 100% focused on doing their jobs. Of note...While their company name is "MC Painting" they actually do all sorts of restoration work beyond just painting. I also had them power wash two decks as well as refinish a small exterior wooden staircase and was super pleased with the outcome. Overall, I plan to continue to reach out to them with any more future work, repairs, touch up, etc. I would without question highly recommend them. Many thanks to Mike, Gerri and the rest of the crew!!!!"

"????? Highly Recommended Review: Funari Public Adjusters I am writing to share my experience with Funari Public Adjusters, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional service provided by the owners, Chris and Vito, and their entire team of experts. From the very first call, they were immediately available and responsive, helping me during my critical time of need. The team went above and beyond in every aspect?from assigning a dedicated representative to handle my claim, to guiding me through the entire process from start to finish. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, professional, and extremely helpful whenever I had questions. I have used this company on three separate occasions, and each time they exceeded my expectations: When a neighbor?s tree fell on the back portion of my home. When I experienced a theft at my rental property, resulting in damages and losses. Most recently, after heavy rains caused significant roof damage to my home, including my top-floor"

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Swarthmore, PA

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.
