"Wonderful, 5 star experience. Fair price, great quality work, finished the job in exactly the time they estimated and wonderful customer service. Hired for hardwood floor installation and they removed all furniture with care, dealt with my anxious and barking dog for 2 days with calmness. They even helped me source the best price for my floor and ran to the store for me to pick up matching AC vents which I forgot to purchase. Highly recommended, hire B-Fam!"

Leaf Removal questions, answered by experts

Lead removal can take a few days to several weeks, depending on the work needed, particularly if the lead is widespread and in hard-to-reach areas.

You can paint over lead paint, or “encapsulate” it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. The EPA approves encapsulation as a lead paint removal method as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an “encapsulant” from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.

You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.

What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?
Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?
How do you test for lead paint?
What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?
What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?
Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?

Follow recommendations for removal or remediation to ensure a safe living environment.

Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.
