"Rick was fantastic to work with, a true expert in his field and he answered all applicable questions regarding the inspection and the criteria used. Just waiting for the inspection results and he notified me that it was in the mail. Thank you, Rick and Greenworks for your fast but thorough turn-around-time."

"We had a high lead test from our pediatrician using the heel prick. We were really concerned and did some home lead tests, but didn't find anything that was clearly responsible for our son's lead level. We found Tonya and gave her a call, and she was incredibly helpful. She offered the exact service we were looking for-- someone to come out and do an investigative look at our house, including various tests and asking us about our habits. But she also strongly encouraged us to get a blood lead test, because the heel prick tests can be faulty. On her recommendation we did that-- and the blood test came back normal! Tonya could have taken our money and preyed on our concerns for our son, but instead she gave us a lot of her time and guidance to help us make a good decision. While I hope I will never have to use her services, I would do it in a minute if we needed to figure out sources of lead!"

"I found Hayden on Angi and I'm so glad I did. We had a bad situation where both of our bathrooms were leaking and mold was growing in several locations. We received a mold protocol and got a few estimates from well-reviewed restoration services but Hayden Restoration won our business for a few reasons. Brenton, the owner, came out and found the sources of the problems that others hadn't bothered to find. He clearly explained their process for remediation and their estimate to our satisfaction. Other bids treated us like a spreadsheet with no comprehensive understanding of the layout of our house or the unique remediation needed, but Brenton's estimate was clear and self-explanatory. I could tell Brenton had a ton of experience with all sorts of situations and won our trust when we were feeling overwhelmed with the prospects of moving out of our house and needing to demo both bathrooms. When the process began I could tell his team was taking great care of our house despite the extensive demo - all areas were properly contained and it was very clean. Brenton worked with our mold inspector and made sure we passed the final inspection. And initially we didn't want to go through insurance but when we changed our minds Brenton jumped at the chance to help us with the adjuster's questions and inspection. We are truly so glad that we chose Hayden Restoration and wish we'd found them sooner. When you are in a rough spot with water damage, do yourself a favor and contact this team!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

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?

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 can expect to pay between $200 and $400 for a lead inspection, where your local lead testing pro will scan surfaces and items with an X-ray fluorescent analyzer. Lead risk assessments are slightly different and run around $800 to $2,000. A pro may find lead during an evaluation, and create a removal strategy.

At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy. Follow instructions meticulously, ensuring proper sample collection and test execution. While they can detect elevated lead levels, for precise confirmation or if results are concerning, consider professional testing or lab analysis for comprehensive accuracy and guidance on addressing any issues.

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.
