Complete Lead Paint Removal Process 

We start with a lead based paint inspection to find out where lead paint is present in your home. From there, we complete lead paint removal, perform lead paint encapsulation, install aluminum over painted surfaces, and, if necessary, replace windows and doors.

We focus on high friction areas such as stairwells and windows that create dust, and surfaces that young children are likely to have near their mouths. 

Our process includes: 

• Certified HEPA vacuums 
• Dust containment systems
• Post-project verification and wipe testing to verify lead removal
• Safe disposal of contaminated materials

FAQs About Lead Paint Removal 

How do I know if my house has lead paint?

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a good chance it contains lead-based paint. The only way to know for sure is through a lead paint inspection or risk assessment conducted by a certified professional.

Can I paint over lead paint myself?

While you can use special encapsulating paint products to seal lead-painted surfaces, it's not always a permanent or safe solution, especially if the surface is damaged or in a high-friction area. DIY approaches can release dangerous lead dust if not done properly. For long-term safety, it's best to hire a certified lead abatement contractor.

What is the safest way to remove lead paint?

The safest way to remove lead paint is to hire a certified lead abatement professional who follows strict containment, removal, and cleanup protocols. At Weatherization Services, we are state-certified and follow approved practices to safely remove lead hazards from your home.

If your home was constructed before 1978, it is likely that it contains lead-based paint. The older the home, the more likely it is. Lead abatement services are especially important if you have children under the age of 6.
