"Vernon responded immediately (in the evening) to the Home Advisor inquiry and he was available for lead paint testing and provided a report quickly for a city building permit. I hired him again for follow-up asbestos testing. I am thankful for his responsiveness (the permit process has been challenging) and feel confident that he is advising me on what is needed and not creating extra or unneeded work. Highly recommend."

"Crown Colony Construction seemed very decent with his quote. We never went ahead with the project, but we would have chosen him to do the project had we gone ahead. We had a positive image of him during the quoting process. We never went beyond getting quotes though. He was very responsive, reasonable and answered all the questions. His prices were competitive and he was prompt. He seemed very direct and very reliable."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on the number of samples, testing method, lab fees, and whether on-site inspections are required.

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. 

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

If lead is detected in a property, steps should include arranging for professional removal or containment, notifying all occupants, and implementing interim safety measures to reduce exposure.

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.
