"We are doing a major renovation in a 120-year-old home. When working with a home of this age it is guaranteed that you will uncover some surprises when working on it. When we discovered we had the lead in our walls and ceilings we had a few consultations and quotes from other companies that left us overwhelmed and defeated. Things turned around when we finally found A1A. Sean, David, and the crew are fair, kind, and extremely helpful. It helps that they value old homes and work with you to find the best option with both safety and preservation in mind. We had to have the crew out three times to complete work because each round of demo kept uncovering new findings, but Sean and David never once tried to take advantage of us. David or Sean would come on-site each time to guide us through our options and test any additional surfaces that were uncovered. They worked quickly as well which helps when we are moved out and on a timeline for our renovation project. I cannot recommend them enough for any of your mold, lead, or asbestos needs."

"The owner is extremely professional and conscientious when setting up and executing remediation so that spores do not spread from the containment area. The company was here when they said they would be and worked to resolve our issue as quickly as possible. They were also incredibly nice people that took care in my home. I highly recommend!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.

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?

While the EPA provides guidelines for homeowners to perform DIY lead paint removal, it is a risky process and generally not recommended due to serious health risks and strict regulatory requirements. The process requires precise safety precautions, such as wearing a respirator and protective eyeglasses, creating sealed exits, and using a HEPA vacuum for cleanup. To ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and in compliance with regulations, it is highly recommended to hire a professional lead abatement company. Certified professionals have the necessary training, experience, and specialized equipment (like chemical strippers and HEPA vacuums) to handle and dispose of hazardous materials safely.

If your house was built before 1978 and you’re noticing cracking or peeling paint, a lead paint inspection is a good idea. A lead paint inspection gives you accurate information about the presence, location, and condition of lead-based paint in your home. This information is essential for making informed decisions about lead paint removal to ensure your safety and health and that of your family. If your inspector finds lead, you’ll need to take steps to manage or remove the lead-based paint and comply with laws and regulations.

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.
