"Needed paint lead tested and removed. Was a pleasure to do business with. Very straightforward and honest. Gave an accurate quote (which was less than the other quotes I got) and completed the work quickly and left the area cleaner than before work was started. Would hire again if needed in the future."

"We were selling our house and found out there was mold in the attic. Michael came out, told me what would need to be done (and just as importantly, what would not need to be done), checked to make sure the cause of the mold was gone and gave me an estimate that was below the other contractor I had out. Michael was able to schedule us relatively quickly which was important for the sale and Charter Oak's guys did a great job. They were respective of our home and cleaned up so well after themselves, you wouldn't know they had been there - except for the nice clean wood in the attic. There were some concerns from the buyer and Michael was willing to talk to them to explain what was done and why. Very happy."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

No, a standard home inspection includes the basics and does not offer lead paint testing. Professional lead paint inspectors need specific licenses to perform these inspections, which not all home inspectors have. If you suspect lead paint in the home you are about to purchase, you will need to pay separately to have that done. If the findings come back positive, you may be able to negotiate with the buyer to cover the cost of the removal.

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.

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.

Testing typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on the number of samples and laboratory analysis.

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.
