"What an incredible experience it was to work with Dan and his staff! The work that they did was absolutely excellent in every way and far, far exceeded what any other painter was willing to do for us. I am always nervous about lead around my young children, and told them that up front. They said, "Don't worry," and they were right; they were neat as a pin and didn't spread a speck of dust where it shouldn't be. For all this excellent work, they actually charged far LESS than I would have paid for other painters. I would absolutely recommend them!"
"Cliff came out to our home after we found some questionable paint during renovations of our home. He was prompt, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. Would defiantly hire again!"

Lead Testing and Removal FAQs, answered by experts
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.
Hiring a professional for mold and toxic material testing ensures precise identification of harmful substances within a home. Professionals utilize specialized equipment and techniques, providing accurate results that inform proper removal strategies, safeguarding occupant health.
The average cost of a lead paint inspection is about $600, but it can cost as low as $150 or as much as $800, depending on the size of the area, geographic location, and the inspection methods.
Some of the most common lead paint inspection methods include:
Visual inspection: $150–$400
Paint sampling: $200–$600
X-ray fluorescence (XRF): $250–$700

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.
According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.
