"I can't say enough about the quality of Scott's work in both areas. He was prompt, professional and friendly. He called to let me know when he would be arriving and called if delayed over the several weeks it took to complete the jobs. He went over all of the house's exterior with me to assure he understood my needs and expectations.
He carefully matched the trim color on my windows through the local Menards store where the windows had been purchased and the end result was just fabulous!
In the kitchen, he repositioned the ceiling can lights to match the new cabinets and refinished the old can light areas taking care to match as closely as possible the French Lace ceiling details. If you don't know the lights have been moved, you have to look very hard to find the repaired areas! The cabinet electrical hookups for upper and lower cabinets were installed cleanly and neatly. When my other contractor hooked up the stove exhaust fan and had "shut off" problems at the electrical box, he found that a wire had been crossed that Scott had installed. Scott promptly returned and fixed the problem.
I would not hesitate to use Scott and his company again and would highly recommend him to others."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Tefft, IN

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.
