"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

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.

Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.

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.

DIY kits are available for basic air quality testing, but professional services provide more comprehensive results and recommendations. While a DIY kit may seem cost-effective, a professional assessment is more thorough. Inspectors are better equipped to catch all pollutants and hazards, and you'll still need a professional to verify and act on DIY test results. Furthermore, some kits don't test for certain pollutants or only detect their presence without measuring specific levels (like mold spores). It's generally better to opt for a detailed professional assessment.

You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it’s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.
