Lead Paint Testing
Lead Testing for Homes Built Before 1978
If paint will be disturbed in a pre-1978 building, federal rules likely require a lead assessment first. We handle inspections, risk assessments, and the documentation contractors need to stay compliant.
What we do
As an EPA-registered inspector/risk assessor and Colorado State-certified lead-based paint consulting firm, we provide:
- Lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments
- Pre-renovation and pre-demolition testing
- Clearance testing after abatement
- Guidance on hazardous material disposal requirements
What it costs and how long it takes
Most residential assessments run around $600, depending on paint and varnish history. Results in 3 business days, faster if you need them.
Why it matters
Lead is most dangerous to young children, and exposure can cause permanent developmental harm. Testing before you sand, scrape, or demolish protects the people in the building and keeps your project on the right side of the regulations.
Most buildings in Telluride predate 1978. See how we handle lead testing in Telluride.
