Lead Paint Removal FAQs in Fort Collins
How do I know if I need lead-safe services?
If your home or business was built before 1978, there is a high likelihood it contains lead-based paint. We provide testing to confirm the status of your surfaces before any work begins, so you never pay for lead-safe protocols you don't need.
Is lead paint removal much more expensive than regular painting?
Lead-safe practices require more materials (heavy containment plastic, HEPA equipment) and specialized labor, so there is added cost, but we provide transparent, competitive pricing that prioritizes your safety without breaking the bank.
What happens to the lead waste?
We follow all local and federal guidelines for the bag-out and disposal of lead-contaminated debris, ensuring it is handled responsibly from start to finish, and stays out of your soil and your neighborhood.
Can I stay in my home during the work?
In most cases, yes. Because our containment methods are so rigorous, we can isolate the work area completely, allowing you to go about your daily life in the rest of the house.
Does lead-safe work take longer than a standard paint job?
Yes, typically. Setting up professional containment, using HEPA-filtered tools, and following the rigorous wet-wipe cleanup protocols adds time to the front and back end of the project. Where a standard repaint might take 3–5 days, a lead-safe project often requires an additional 1–2 days to ensure every safety standard is met and verified.
Are you certified to do this work?
Yes. We are EPA Lead-Safe Certified under the federal Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) program, which requires specific training, equipment, and documented safety practices for any work that disturbs paint in pre-1978 homes. We also provide the EPA's "Renovate Right" pamphlet and records of our safety procedures so you stay informed.
