"We are in the process of selling our 1955 home, and as expected, inspection brought up potential asbestos in our attic insulation. Testing by IDPH was conducted and a proposal was put together. The proposal by the first company was outrageously expensive, so we contacted Weber Management Group through Angi’s list for a second opinion. Mike Herman called me almost immediately and began asking really important questions that ultimately revealed his incredible knowledge in this area, but also that we were being led astray on the actual results of the testing. After a review of our test results, it was determined that no action needed to be taken, saving me thousands of dollars on my home sale. If you need a first, second, or third opinion, Weber Group Management is where to start."

"Michael was great and his prices are reasonable. I called him one night and he came early the next morning. He was efficient and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs their home tested for lead."

"William and his crew were punctual, courteous, and professional. William walked me through the process for the work, inspected the areas he needed to access, and answered all my questions with enthusiasm which made me feel respected as a customer. They worked diligently and when the whole job was complete, including air quality testing, he walked me through for approval. I truly think my basement was left cleaner than before they started. I had nothing to clean up, throw out, or pick up after they were done. I am so pleased I used BlueStone for my Asbestos removal project and their pricing was right in line with a competitor. Thank you!"

"It was amazing! I needed this to happen fast as we were in the middle of redecorating. I called Kevin at 9:o0 and he said he could be there at 10:30. He showed up, did 8 samples from various materials and had my answer the next day by 2:30pm. Thankfully, I had no asbestos and my mind cleared and I was very happy. He told me the cost of simply getting a removal permit in Cook County and I was very thankful I spent the $500 for the service including 8 samples tested. Kevin charges $300 plus $25/sample. I had 8 areas that needed it. The best $500 I ever spent. I called other services that wanted $450 to come out plus the $25/sample. Kevin was fast and priced well."

"OVERALL A VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. I WORKED WITH BRIAN DUERMIT FOR THE PRICE QUOTE AND WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE THE PRICE A LITTLE BASED ON COMPETITIVE BIDS AND BY CLOSING ON THE CONTRACT WITHIN HOURS. THE WORKERS ARRIVED THE FOLLOWING DAY, AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, AND FINISHED AT THEIR ESTIMATED COMPLETION TIME LATER THE SAME AFTERNOON. THEY WERE VERY PERSONABLE AND APPEARED TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE. THEY DID A VERY GOOD JOB OF CLEANUP AND LEFT THE AREA CLEANER THAN IT WAS WHEN THEY ARRIVED."

"Superbly.  I am convinced that Don was one of a few people who helped save my family's health from Lead.  He was generous with his information even before we hired him.  He took the initiative to talk to the neighbors and the neighboring contractor before I even hired him, as the situation looked so incredibly inappropriate and unsafe.  He also insisted that we get tested (by another firm) before he would provide abatement services.  I am VERY grateful for that advice, as there was a possibility that I was going to not take the situation as seriously as it merited.  The lead levels found in areas near the neighboring house were absolutely lethal.  Don and his crew seemed to do a very thorough job abating the lead.  This Thanksgiving this company is one of a couple that I am so thankful for.  They might just have been doing their job and taking it seriously, but in my mind they also protected my family, especially my children who are the most vulnerable to lead dust.  Take lead seriously.  It is absolutely poison in so many ways and NO LEVEL IS SAFE.  If you have concerns, hire this company to clean it up!  And, good luck with it. <br />"

"It was wonderful working with Lake Shore Environmental Solutions, Inc. to have the asbestos removed.  It had become very friable and was a serious hazard, made even more of an issue now that I was using the area as a work shop.  Scott the owner came to view the area and develop a cost immediately following my call and gave me a very thorough explanation of all the work to be performed.  It was nice to understand what would be done and how thorough (and safe) the process was.  Scott and his team arrived right on time as planned and got to work immediately.  They finished up with air testing the next day and I was amazed at how great everything looked.  The remediated pipes were clean, in fact, the whole space was cleaner than when they arrived.  The testing showed that they had done a great job and my basement was now safe for use. One day later I had the results of the testing, plus the copy of the paid invoice. <br /> Again, I want to thank Scott and his team for the thorough and professional work they did. <br />"

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Winnetka, IL

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.
