Fort Collins is celebrated for its stunning historic architecture, from the charming Victorian-era homes in Old Town to the mid-century treasures near Colorado State University. However, for those embarking on a renovation journey in Northern Colorado, there is a hidden guest often lurking beneath layers of modern paint: lead.

If your home was built before 1978, it likely contains lead-based paint. While it is stable when undisturbed, the moment you begin sanding, scraping, or tearing down walls, you release toxic dust that can settle in your carpets and air ducts. At AmeriForce Environmental, we specialize in professional lead paint removal in Fort Collins, ensuring your dream remodel doesn't become a health nightmare.
