MJM Restoration bring together in our team a combined 50 year tradition of applied, proven property restoration services that have resulted in multiple successfully completed projects. The MJM team is highly experienced in the technical displines necessary for performing the complicated tasks required to provide property restoration services. Our professional staff includes estimators, projects managers, skilled construction tradesmen and certified technicians. MJM completes projects in a most responsive and cost effective manner by paying attention to schedules, goals and budgets. Communication between MJM and it's clients is our #1 prioity. We emphasize on the need to asist our clients in understanding every aspect of their projects by explaining the technical procedures and scope of work task.

"Don’t make the same mistake I did—look for another contractor. I found MJM Restoration on Angie’s List based on good reviews, but they were misleading. I had termite damage on the front wall of my home requiring minimally drywall repair, and including a large picture window that needed replacing. Initially, communication was great, but it quickly declined. The project, which started around the Fourth of July, was plagued by poor communication. I shared my contact information for texts and emails, as I work during the day, and can’t always pick up the phone. Despite that, promises to call and schedule were frequently broken, and I often waited for appointments that were canceled or moved. Recently, one of these cancellations was for illness, which I understood. However, after confirming a visit for the same time tomorrow (8:30 AM), still no one showed the next morning. I reached out was told they were showing up at around 10am. My inquiry about the delay, and saying I could make 10am work though, received a dismissive “K.” (Included pictures) They showed up at 10:30 AM without any apology or even acknowledgement of the tardiness. This attitude was consistent throughout the project. The job turned out being smaller than anticipated. The window framing needed only 6 inches replaced on two corners, rather than a major rebuild. The drywall was to be removed and replaced 1 ft around the window, installation installed, but only needed two sections around the window replaced, and only a small piece of installation was required. When I asked if the bill would be adjusted since less work was needed, I was told the subcontractors charge by the day, regardless of hours worked, but I would think you’d have them do the full job/replacement then since you’re paying for it anyway. It seemed odd to pay them the same for 2 hours as for 8, but if that’s their policy, fine. They did give me a $200 material credit, which although I appreciated, it only amounted to a 4% discount on the total bill. All these would have been forgiven if the job turned out great but it didn’t. I will say the custom Anderson window is beautiful and the team that installed was stellar. They were very professional, explained everything they did, and were speedy. A different subcontractor came in to finish up the wall. The baseboards as you can see in the pictures had a huge gap once they were replaced. There was no gaps, cracking or separation of the baseboards prior to this. Recently had the hardwood floors done, along with baseboards/shoe molding replaced, so I know this. I brought this to their attention after day one, and it was told it would be fixed the next day. Their fix was to fill it with caulk and paint it, poorly I might add; lines not clean, dipping in the caulk as you can see. I get many baseboards have some gaps and need to be caulked but this gap was significant. Seeing as it wasn’t there before, and it directly in front of where they replaced the drywall, I am to assume it’s from the drywall installation. Additionally, there was also paint left on the light switch cover, tape and little plastic piece left stuck to the wall, and floor dusty when he left. It just seemed rushed, and not a professional job. When I inquired about this gap and its “remedy”, I was told it’s common practice. I asked for someone to come look at since it was severe. Someone did, I was told it’s the 2X4’s and the wall isn’t straight so they can’t fix the gap. They did offered to have the same sub back to clean up the lines and fill in the dips, after my prior experiences, I declined. Overall, I was disappointed with the professionalism and quality of work. The rushed finish and unresolved issues reflect poorly on the business quality. I expected better attention to detail and professionalism, and I won’t be using their services again, and would urge you to look elsewhere."

Promise - Inspected Once, Inspected Right! Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult. Unlike most professionals,  you will not get to meet me until you retain me. Different inspectors have many varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and yes. different pricing.  One thing for sure is that a home inspection requires time and work. Ultimately, a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector's own  knowledge and effort. If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your home, I promise I will give you my very best effort.

Lead testing and removal services FAQs

Lead paint removal costs about $3,600, ranging from $1,500 to $5,800, depending on several factors, such as square footage, removal method, and its location in your home. Keep in mind that lead paint removal costs $8 to $17 per square foot, ensuring a permanent and maintenance-free fix.

Additional cost factors for lead paint removal include:

  • Location

  • Materials and equipment needed

  • Disposal method

  • Accessibility

  • Surface types

  • Repairs needed

  • Labor

Professional lead-paint abatement companies use a variety of methods to remove lead-based paint, depending on each particular situation. Some of the most common methods include:

  • Total removal: $8–$17 per square foot

  • Demolition and replacement: $1,000–$15,000 per project

  • Encapsulation: $4 per square foot

  • Enclosure: $10 per square foot

  • Chemical stripping: $10–$17 per square foot

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

A professional lead paint removal company should remove any lead-based paint from your home. You should not remove or paint over it yourself because handling lead-based paint poses health risks, according to the EPA. Professionals trained and certified to handle lead-based paint abatement use specialized equipment like HEPA vacuums and methods like chemical stripping and abrasive blasting to remove paint and particles as safely as possible. They are also trained on how to properly dispose of lead-based paint material.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

  • What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?

  • Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?

  • How do you test for lead paint?

  • What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?

  • What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?

  • Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?
