About lead paint remediation

Any home built before 1978 may have lead-based paint. Disturbing it — sanding, scraping, removing trim — releases lead dust that's dangerous to children and pregnant women. EPA RRP rules require certified containment for any work on lead surfaces.

Our crews are EPA RRP-certified and follow full lead-safe work practices: containment, HEPA vacuums, wet methods, and lab-tested clearance. We remediate, encapsulate, or stabilize lead paint depending on what your situation requires.

What's included

  • XRF or lab-test confirmation of lead
  • Full plastic containment of work area
  • HEPA-filtered air scrubbers running 24/7
  • Wet-method scraping and sanding
  • HEPA vacuum cleanup throughout
  • Lab-tested clearance wipes before re-entry
  • Disposal per state hazardous waste rules

Our process

  1. 1

    Lead testing

    We confirm lead presence via XRF or lab test. Negative results mean a standard repaint; positive results trigger RRP protocols.

  2. 2

    Containment setup

    Full plastic containment of the work zone, with HEPA-filtered air scrubbers running 24/7.

  3. 3

    Lead-safe removal

    Wet-method scraping, HEPA-vacuum sanding, and constant cleanup. No dry sanding, no open scraping, ever.

  4. 4

    Clearance testing

    Independent lab tests dust wipes after cleanup. We don't release the area until clearance is signed off.

Why homeowners choose us

EPA RRP-certified

Every crew lead working on pre-1978 homes is EPA RRP-certified and current on annual training.

Lab-tested clearance

Independent dust-wipe testing confirms the work area is safe before we hand it back. We don't self-certify.

Encapsulate or remove

Depending on your situation, encapsulation (sealing lead in place) may be safer and cheaper than removal. We recommend honestly.

Frequently asked questions

+Does my home definitely have lead?

If it was built before 1978, possibly. If before 1960, very likely. A $50 XRF test or lab sample confirms it before we plan any work.

+Should I remove the lead or encapsulate it?

Encapsulation seals lead in place under a special primer and paint. It's safer, cheaper, and the right answer for most homes. Full removal is for renovations that disturb the surface anyway.

+Is it safe for my family during the work?

Yes — full containment, HEPA filtration, and lab-tested clearance. Most families stay in the home but avoid the work area.

+What's included in the warranty?

Every job carries our 10-year workmanship warranty. If the finish peels, blisters, or cracks within ten years, we return and re-coat the affected area at no charge.

+What paints do you use?

Sherwin-Williams Emerald and Benjamin Moore Aura by default. Zero-VOC alternatives (Natura, Harmony) are available at no upcharge.

+Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — fully licensed in every state we serve, with $2M general liability and workers' comp on every crew.
