"We needed lead paint testing on an older home before doing some renovations. Their price was reasonable, but not cheap, and they were able to come out the next day. The inspector was very professional and knowledgeable. This was for the interior and exterior of a 1400 sq ft house."

"Debby came out promptly and gave us a bid. It wasn't the cheapest or most expensive bid we received but my husband and I liked them best. Debby had an eye for detail even when she first came out. They were very accommodating on start dates and got the whole house done in just a few days. The floors had been removed so they were able to spray paint. I was impressed with all of the prep work they did before they painted. They created crisp, clean lines between the ceiling and walls.  They asked for 90% to be paid upon completion and then after the floors were in, they would come back to touch up any scuff marks that happened when the floors were installed and I would pay the last 10%.  I inadvertently paid 100%. They were very accommodating and said that they would come back anytime to do touch ups.  They were true to their word and after the floors were finished on a Friday, they came in the next day and did an excellent job of touch up. We moved in 2 days later.  I will definitely be using Debby and Beth for any other painting needs that come up and I will recommend them to anyone who asks about painting!

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.

You can sell a house with lead paint, but there are several requirements. If you are aware that lead paint exists anywhere in the home, you must disclose that to potential buyers. Required home inspections will often uncover lead paint, especially for older houses where lead paint may still be a problem. If you have taken steps to encapsulate lead, you should provide buyers with full documentation of the project so it won’t cause any problems later on.

Lead toxicity comes from inhaling lead or consuming it. Before the 1980s, when the government banned lead from consumer use, it could be found in paint, plumbing, pipes, ceramics, and even gasoline. Lead paint is toxic for the same reason lead itself is toxic, which is why lead poisoning from paint presents the same as lead poisoning from water or food sources, with a slight increase in respiratory symptoms vs. digestive symptoms. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s old and peeling, cracking, or otherwise disturbed. This increases the concentration in the air and, therefore, in breathable air. 

Results from professional lead testing are typically available within a few days to a week (2-7 days), depending on factors like laboratory processing times and the volume of samples being analyzed. Expedited services may also be available for urgent situations.

While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you’ll still want to test to be on the safe side. The federal government banned lead-based paint for homes in 1978, but your state may have banned lead before that time. Around 24% of homes built between 1960 and 1977 contained lead-based paint, while 87% of homes built before 1940 contained lead-based paint.
