Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location.

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

Services test for allergens, mold, VOCs, and carbon monoxide levels to ensure a healthy indoor environment.
