Lead Based Paint Mitigation
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, which can become a health concern when it begins to chip, peel, crack, or is disturbed during renovations. Our lead-based paint mitigation services help reduce the risk of lead exposure by safely addressing affected areas and following proven containment and cleanup procedures.

Lead Paint Project Questions
What do you need to review a project?
Send the property address, photos of affected surfaces, approximate dimensions, planned work and any lead inspection or risk assessment reports. Tell us whether the property is occupied and your expected timeline.
Can I contact you before a renovation?
Yes. Contact us before work begins so the affected surfaces, contractor coordination and requested scope can be discussed in advance.
Will every surface need to be removed?
The approach depends on the paint condition, surface, location and planned use. We discuss the proposed treatment and boundaries of the work with you during project planning.
How do you plan around an occupied property?
Tell us who uses the space and which rooms or access routes are affected. Work-area access, containment, cleanup and any post-work assessment should be discussed as part of the project scope.
For other property concerns, see asbestos abatement, mold remediation and water damage cleanup.
Our Process
Step 4: Final Cleanup & Verification
The work area is carefully prepared and isolated to help prevent the spread of dust and debris. Protective measures are put in place before work begins.
Step 1: Evaluation
We assess the affected areas and review any available testing results to determine the best course of action. A customized mitigation plan is created for your property.
Step 2: Preparation & Containment
We thoroughly clean the work area and properly dispose of all debris. A final inspection is completed to ensure the project meets our standards.
Step 3: Lead Hazard Mitigation
Our team safely addresses lead-based paint hazards using approved work practices. The goal is to reduce the risk of lead exposure within your home or building.

HOUSE BUILT BEFORE 1990?
Vermiculite Insulation Containing Asbestos in Attics.
Vermiculite insulation, common in homes built before 1990, especially those with attic insulation, often contains dangerous, naturally occurring asbestos fibers, making undisturbed vermiculite a risk if disturbed by renovations or air leaks, requiring professional testing and removal/encapsulation to prevent serious lung diseases.
