"I highly recommend Connecticut Lead Services. I needed their help for an inspection. They were referred by a friend that used them in the past. They returned my initial call right away and scheduled an inspection on the next business day, they actually shuffled their schedule to help me. Dave and Brian did a thorough job and educated me on how lead was used in older houses. They were really patient with my questions and took their time to do an excellent job. It is clear that their first concern was safety of the people in the house. I will definitely call them for my next project."

"Vernon did an inspection for lead and asbestos on a home we are purchasing in Kingston that we are planning to renovate extensively and live in with two small children. Both lead and asbestos posed risks that could be dealbreakers for us depending on exact specifics of location and extent. My husband is an architect who has to deal with these kinds of inspections routinely while rehabbing old buildings. We were super crunched for time, meeting with multiple inspectors and contractors at the home in a single day. We needed someone who could just do the inspection thoughtfully and make decisions about what was necessary vs. unnecessary without us having to micromanage or weigh in on every sample. Vernon was just the ticket. We had discussed prior to the inspection that we wanted to ideally get assurances about the materials behind wood paneling being lead free but obviously we couldn’t take the paneling down to get readings on a house we don’t yet own. He assured us that using the XLR device would give us some certainty about lead content in what whatever was behind. Vernon was able to squeeze us into his schedule quickly. He showed up and did almost two hundred readings with the XLR device, meticulously tracked in a report he sent a few days later. We got a lot of positives for both lead and asbestos. He really thought through what was necessary and what would give us inconclusive information, so he saved us a little money by only doing readings that were actionable. His quick turnaround and methodically documentation helped us meet the deadline to submit the report to the sellers. It gives us great leverage with this info to negotiate and come to a reasonable division of financial responsibility for the repair work necessary to make this home safe for future occupants during the final weeks before closing. This is saving us a huge potential liability and surprise bill down the line. This is a seller’s market and one of the top ways buyers are getting the short end of the stick is by having to assume risks that sellers push them to abandon inspecting with the threat of just going with another bid. Acting quickly with good hired experts like Vernon buys you back a better position in a tough market. Well worth every penny."

"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."

"After my friends horrible accident in my home, my family researched the closest trauma scene clean up service around and North Eastern popped up. Luckily, they were available and arrived almost as quick as the ambulance came. They were professional with the police and they stayed late into the night to make sure the scene was spotless. It was an overwhelming experience already, but North Eastern's quick responsiveness, cleanliness, & professionalism made my family get over that night with a little more calm. We appreciated the hard work Victor and North Eastern provided to us!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Government regulations such as the EPA and OSHA govern lead removal procedures to ensure health and environmental safety during and after abatement.

Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you’re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint’s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.

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.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.
