"GCPRO were the most professional and technology-equipped of all the estimators who came to look at this project. They had laser measures, tools for reading how wet the drywall was, infrared cameras to look at the water saturation... It was impressive! They also were very competitive in pricing. I chose them for those reasons and because they were start-to-finish, handling the remediation and removal efforts all the way through to reconstruction and finishing efforts. The technology carried through those efforts as well, with 3D scanning to measure space and material requirements. The two carpenters who worked on putting everything back together (and actually beyond what was originally there, Janusz and Yaroslav, were extremely professional, polite, detail-oriented and neat. I am astounded by the quality of their craftsmanship. I cannot recommend GCPRO enough!"

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?
