I reached out to Isles after learning about their lead hazard abatement work, and had Bennett Sims and his crew come out and test my home for health hazards. Sure enough, we tested positive for lead and needed to have it abated. There is a senior citizen and a young child in my home, so the lead was a big health concern. But, we have over 18 windows and two entryways and even though we already knew that the windows and doors needed to be replaces for energy efficiency, the cost was prohibitive for my low-income family.
Mr. Sims was extremely professional and helped us to understand the process and how home environmental hazard affect our health and potential for self-reliance. He assured us that the process would not be a burden and the finished product would be a welcome improvement to the lives of those of us who live there. Mr. Sims was there every steop of the way, making sure that the quality of the work was excellent and the project was well-organized. I am so impressed!
I hope that other low-income families who would be unable to afford the abatement and replacement on their own will benefit by applying for this program. It works!
