Q: How much does a lead paint inspection cost?

• <div><p>The average cost of a lead paint inspection is about <b>$600</b>, but it can cost as low as <b>$150</b> or as much as<b> $800</b>, depending on the size of the area, geographic location, and the inspection methods.

Q: Can I test indoor air quality myself?

• <div><p>A DIY kit can lessen the sting that comes with paying for a professional assessment, but these comprehensive tests are true lifesavers. Inspectors are more likely to catch all of the pollutants and hazards in your air. Plus, you&rsquo;ll still need a professional to verify and act on your DIY test results. </p><p>Some kits don&rsquo;t include tests for certain air pollutants or only detect their presence, but not their levels (i.e., mold spores). If you&rsquo;re willing to shell out money for a DIY kit, it&rsquo;s usually better to stretch your budget slightly higher for a more detailed assessment.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over lead paint?

The EPA approves encapsulation as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-options-do-i-have-remove-lead-paint.htm">lead paint removal method</a> as long as the paint remains undisturbed.
