Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most about lead abatement in Southern California.
How do I know if my home has lead-based paint?+
Any home built before 1978 should be assumed to contain lead paint until tested. Certified inspectors use XRF analyzers or paint chip sampling to confirm. California requires lead disclosure at sale and rental of pre-1978 properties.
What is RRP certification and do I need it?+
The EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rule requires certified firms to perform any work that disturbs more than 6 sq ft of interior or 20 sq ft of exterior painted surface in pre-1978 housing or child-occupied facilities. Homeowners doing work on their own residence are exempt; contractors are not. We are EPA Lead-Safe certified.
How much does lead paint removal cost?+
Encapsulation typically runs $3–$8 per square foot. Full removal with containment and clearance testing runs $8–$25 per square foot depending on substrate and access. Whole-house exterior projects on older LA homes often land in the $10,000–$30,000 range.
