"Jeff did a thorough evaluation including moisture testing to determine if we had any issues and if he could be of service to us. We were provided an extensive amount of education on the subject and the best plan of action moving forward. I'd highly recommend NU-Life as your go to mold resource."

"JMAQ did a great job of lead paint abatement in my apartment today! This team of experienced workers was on time, and worked diligently all day correcting the problems. I really admire their work ethic. Additionally, they were courteous and polite, explaining everything they were doing. My apartment, which I am selling, had had 4 violations since 2005 which I only found out about last week. The violations were discovered by the buyers' lawyer. No one had ever mentioned these violations to me in the 12 years I have lived here. I was in a panic to get the violations corrected. I had contacted a few companies, but I was not impressed. One company was a "no show" two different days, after I had waited for them for 4 hours one day, and 6 hours another day. Another company told me on the phone the lead paint abatement process would take one or two months.I was very frustrated. Then I looked at the Home Advisors website, and found JMAQ. I spoke to Sasha of JMAQ on the phone, and I knew from the way she spoke that she was knowledgeable about the lead paint removal process, and that Customer Service was important to JMAQ. Also, she said they would certainly be on time for all appointments.She said they could facilitate the job and get to it right away knowing I was in a bind about getting the apartment sold. The all-important Closing was being held up by the lead paint problem, and I was running out of money with various home-selling costs. She found my apartment violations quickly on the NY HPD website, and gave me a a very good and fair estimate on the phone. Also, she explained that her father, Jose, had had years of experience with lead paint abatement violations. Sasha, Jose, and Victor, Sasha's son, came over to my home the very next day, and Jose checked out the problems. I was impressed by their professional attitude. JMAQ corrected all violations today, only taking a break for lunch. These are hard-working people! The next step will be that they will send an examiner over to take scientific "wipes" of the corrected areas. These wipes will be taken to a lab for examination. After this, my apartment will receive a certificate that the lead paint has been removed. Then, I will take the signed affadavit to HPD so they can officially sign off on it, and the violations will be removed. The estimated total time for all this will be a week, depending on which day the technician can come and do the "wipes". I am looking forward to working with Sasha and Jose as they competently get me through this confusing and difficult time in my apartment selling. I will write another review for this excellent company when we get to the end of the whole process. I feel so relieved to be in the hands of these professionals who are "with me" every step of the way! Thank you, Shirley Gifford"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Professional lead testing services typically cost between $200 and $500, with the price varying based on the extent of testing and the specific areas tested within the property.

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. 

Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.
