Lead Paint Remediation in NJ, by the people who inspect it

If a lead paint inspection turned up hazards, the next step is remediation. We're EPA RRP certified to do the abatement work, handle the clearance exam at the end, and document every step so your records are clean. We can work from our own inspection report or any other certified inspector's report.

What it is

Removing the hazard, not painting over it

When an inspection finds lead hazards in a property, NJ law requires the hazards to be addressed before the property can be certified Lead Safe. Remediation work includes:

This isn't general renovation. EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rule sets strict requirements for how lead-painted surfaces get disturbed, contained, and cleaned up. Contractors who aren't RRP certified can be fined for working on a pre-1978 property. We've been certified since we started doing this work.

When you need it

Three common scenarios.

1. Your NJ inspection just failed.

You got a written list of deficiencies from a Lead Inspector / Risk Assessor (ours or someone else's). The property cannot be certified until those items are addressed. We pick up from the report and handle the work.

2. You're buying a property with known lead hazards.

Common in older urban rentals. Address the hazards before closing or before the first tenant moves in.

3. You have a government contract requiring lead-safe work.

Federal, state, and municipal projects increasingly require RRP-certified contractors for any renovation that disturbs pre-1978 surfaces. We're set up for government contract work. References available.

How it works

From the report to the clearance exam.

1

You send the inspection report

Ours or another certified inspector's. PDF upload, email, or hand-off.

2

We scope and estimate

Usually from the report alone. Site visit only for larger or complex jobs. Written, itemized.

3

You approve and deposit

You sign off the estimate. We put it on the schedule.

4

We remediate the hazards

Containment, removal or encapsulation, EPA RRP-compliant cleanup. Photo-documented every step.

5

Clearance exam confirms

Dust wipes to a lab. If anything fails, we fix and re-clear at no extra charge.

We don't need to be your inspector to remediate

A lot of contractors will only remediate properties they inspected. We don't work that way. Send us your inspection report from any NJ-certified Lead Inspector / Risk Assessor and we'll scope the remediation off it. No re-inspection required.

If you don't have an inspection report yet, start there. The inspection has to come before the remediation.

Permits + abatement letters

Do you need an abatement letter from your municipality?

Some NJ municipalities require an "abatement letter" or formal authorization before remediation work begins on a pre-1978 property. Whether one is required depends on:

When you upload your inspection report, we'll tell you whether your specific property and scope need an abatement letter, and what the process looks like in your municipality. We've worked with permitting offices across the state.

Pricing

Pricing follows scope, not units

Remediation pricing isn't a flat fee per door. Every inspection report flags different items. A window-only deficiency in one unit is a different job than full encapsulation across a 6-unit building. We quote per scope.

What we promise

For government contracts and large portfolio work, we operate on standard NJ government contracting terms. Net 30, references on request.

Government work

Federal, state, and municipal lead work.

A significant share of our remediation work is government. Lead hazard control programs at the federal (HUD), state (NJ DCA), and municipal level all require EPA RRP-certified contractors and specific documentation standards. We're set up for it.

If you're a public works manager, HUD-funded property, or NJ Department contract administrator looking for a lead remediation vendor, we can match your documentation, insurance, and reporting requirements. Send us the RFP or contact info and we'll respond.

FAQ

Common questions about lead remediation.

Do tenants have to move out during the work?
For full remediation, yes, in most cases. For limited spot work (one window, one room), short-term displacement during active work hours is often enough. We can advise based on the scope of your specific job.
How long does remediation take?
Depends on the scope. A single-unit window-and-trim remediation is often a 2-3 day job. A multi-unit full remediation can run 1-3 weeks. The clearance exam adds another 5-7 days for lab results.
What's the clearance exam?
A final test conducted by a certified NJ Lead Inspector / Risk Assessor after remediation is complete. Dust wipe samples are sent to a lab, and the property gets a passing or failing report. Passing = certified Lead Safe.
What if the clearance exam fails?
We come back, address the remaining items, and re-clear. No extra charge for re-clearance on items we remediated.
Can you remediate based on another inspector's report?
Yes. Any NJ-certified Lead Inspector / Risk Assessor's report works.
Are you bonded and insured for government work?
Yes. Insurance certificates, EPA RRP firm certification, and references available on request.
Do you handle the disposal of lead-contaminated materials?
Yes. Lead-containing waste goes through EPA-compliant disposal. Documented chain of custody.
