Northeast Remediation and Remodeling LLC is a full service environmental abatement company that safely removes lead paint and mold from residential and commercial properties throughout Massachusetts. Also specializing in window replacements and remodeling, Northeast Remediation can manage all aspects of the job you are looking to have performed.

"Northeast Remediation performed deleading on my home, involving replacement of windows and the garage door. The house passed re-inspection for full compliance as soon as they were finished. The only issue was that they had problems getting one of their suppliers to provide a custom sized replacement garage door in a timely manner. This delayed fully completing the job by about a month while they found a different supplier. However, they were generally very responsive with communication and the work quality was good so I would not hesitate to use them again."

Exterior painter for thirty years, now taking on more inside work. Mainly because there is generally less dust involved, which is better for my lungs. But come spring? Pretty good chance I'll tight up my mask and have at it again.

At ARM Construction we pride ourselves on continuing to provide the highest quality of work. ARM Construction was developed from over 100 years of Mercurio Masonry experience, workmanship, and customer relationships.

"Excellent ! I hired ARM Construction again after they did such an outstanding job building a cover with a hip style roof over my 12' X 12' front porch. This time I had them resurface the entire porch ; top, sides and stairs. The cover over the porch is stunning. All work was done with a permit and passed inspection by Worcester inspectors. The masonary cement work went very well . There was one small section that I had a concern over. Andrew , ( owner) had a mason come back out and resurface the whole top portion . No charge to me. This company not only does excellent quality work, but stands behind their work. I will definately hire them again."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible

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.

Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.

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.
