Frequently Asked Questions
Is my home at risk for lead paint?
If your home was built before 1978, there's a strong chance it contains lead-based paint. The EPA requires that any renovation work that disturbs more than 6 square feet of painted surface in homes built before 1978 must be performed by an EPA RRP-certified contractor.
Does lead containment cost extra?
Yes — lead containment requires additional materials (plastic sheeting, HEPA equipment) and labor (setup, decontamination, waste disposal). We'll include this as a separate line item in your quote so you know exactly what you're paying for.
