need suggestions for contractor/carpenter for my kitchen re-facing. the guy I hired is insisting on an expensive lead paint test because my building is pre 1978 construction. he presented this to me days before we were about to start. i had already picked out doors, hardware, granite, and floors. the test is not required by the management company, the buildings board, or the EPA. however he is insistent on it and it will delay the start of the job by 2-3 weeks as well as additional cost. the kitchen was updated 11 years ago and repainted. there is no need for this test. so here I am starting all over again. I am new to this site so just thought I would ask for recommendations.
thank you.
