Professional lead abatement and lead hazard mitigation for homes, rentals, and commercial properties. Our licensed team performs thorough lead paint testing and lead paint inspections to identify hazards, then safely isolates and removes lead-containing materials. Every project includes compliance-ready documentation to ensure your property meets EPA and Colorado safety standards.
Lead abatement is the regulated, professional process of removing, stabilizing, or encapsulating lead-based paint and lead-contaminated materials to protect the health of building occupants. Homes built before 1978, schools, and older commercial buildings are especially at risk, as lead dust and chips can cause serious health problems, particularly in children.
Our certified lead inspectors and licensed abatement team follow strict EPA and Colorado regulations to ensure safety. Lead paint testing and a thorough lead paint inspection are performed before any work begins to identify high-risk areas. Depending on the situation, we either safely remove or encapsulate lead paint, minimizing dust and preventing contamination.

Lead exposure is a serious public health concern, especially in older homes, schools, and rental properties. Lead dust spreads easily during renovation, repair, or demolition, and even small amounts can harm developing brains and organs in children. Adults can also be affected by prolonged exposure.
Colorado and federal authorities, including the U.S. EPA’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, require that certified lead abatement contractors follow strict procedures during any disturbance of lead-based paint. This ensures safe removal or encapsulation while minimizing contamination risk.
Lead paint testing and a certified lead paint inspection are the first steps in identifying hazards

Lead hazards usually come from older construction materials. Knowing where to look helps define scope and risk.
Common sources (commercial + industrial):
Lead-based paint on walls, trim, windowsills (pre-1978)
Paint chips and dust from friction surfaces (doors, windows)
Soil around foundations with exterior lead paint residues
Plumbing solder and fixtures in older buildings
Porous materials that trap dust (carpets, baseboards)
How it originates (what triggers risk):
Renovations, demolition, tenant improvements, or drilling/cutting
Water damage that breaks down older materials
Aging materials that crumble (friable condition)
HVAC work in older buildings disturbing insulation or ceiling systems

Lead risk depends on how the lead is present and how people come into contact with it. Some hazards are visible (peeling paint), while others are invisible (fine dust from windows and doors).
Paint deterioration: Peeling or chalking paint creates dust and chips quickly.
Friction surfaces: Windows and doors grind paint into fine lead dust.
Impact surfaces: Stairs, trim, railings wear down and shed contaminated dust.
Renovation disturbance: Cutting, sanding, demolition can release lead dust fast.
Soil exposure: Exterior paint breakdown contaminates soil near foundations.

Lead becomes urgent when there’s a high likelihood of exposure, fast-spreading dust, or a time-sensitive situation like renovation, rental turnover, or compliance deadlines. The biggest risk is uncontrolled disturbance: sanding, cutting, scraping, or demolition can spread lead dust quickly into adjacent rooms and shared areas.
Child exposure concern: Any elevated lead risk requires urgent professional assessment.
Active renovation on pre-1978 sites: Stop disturbance and define scope immediately.
Severe peeling paint indoors: Chips and dust spread quickly through living spaces.
Window/door dust complaints: Friction dust can contaminate floors and sills daily.
Water damage on painted surfaces: Moisture accelerates paint failure and dust generation.
