Our Process For Lead Abatement in Boise, ID
At Apex Restoration, our lead abatement process starts with a thorough inspection and risk assessment of your property before any physical work begins. Our certified technicians use XRF analyzers and dust wipe sampling to pinpoint exactly where lead-based paint or contaminated materials are present, whether that's on old window trim, door frames, or exterior siding common in Boise's pre-1978 housing stock. For example, in a recent project on a 1962 home in the North End neighborhood, we identified elevated lead levels concentrated around the original wood casement windows and baseboards before a single tool was picked up. This step protects both our crew and your family by ensuring we have a complete picture of the scope before containment is set up.
Once the assessment is complete, we move into full containment and preparation. We seal off all work areas using 6-mil poly sheeting, establish negative air pressure with HEPA-filtered air scrubbers, and set up decontamination chambers at every entry and exit point. In the milder temperatures of a Boise fall, containment holds more easily than in extreme summer heat, but we still monitor our poly barriers and negative air pressure throughout every shift. Every HVAC vent, return, and gap is sealed to prevent cross-contamination from spreading lead dust to unaffected areas of the home.
The actual abatement work follows a strict sequence depending on the method required for your specific situation. We may use wet scraping, chemical stripping, or full component replacement depending on what the assessment recommends. For example, on a Boise rental property near Downtown, we replaced all original lead-painted window sashes entirely rather than stripping them, because replacement was the safest and most permanent solution for a high-traffic rental environment. After abatement is complete, we conduct a thorough HEPA vacuuming and wet wiping of all surfaces before our final clearance testing, which involves independent dust wipe samples sent to a certified lab to confirm your home meets EPA clearance standards before we ever remove containment.

Why Homeowners In Boise Choose Apex For Lead Abatement
When it comes to lead abatement in Boise, Apex Restoration brings a level of precision and accountability that most contractors simply cannot match. Many of the older homes in the North End and East End neighborhoods were built before 1978, which means lead-based paint is far more common than homeowners expect, and the interior renovation projects that pick up every fall are exactly when long-hidden lead paint in old trim, doors and windowsills gets disturbed. For example, our team recently completed a full interior abatement on a 1940s bungalow near Warm Springs Avenue, identifying lead contamination in window sills, door frames, and baseboards that a general contractor had completely missed during a prior renovation.
What sets Apex Restoration apart is that we are fully EPA-certified and Idaho-licensed, and we do not subcontract our abatement work to third parties the way many of our competitors do. That means the trained professionals who give you your estimate are the same people doing the work and signing off on your clearance documentation.
We also understand that Boise homeowners dealing with lead abatement are often navigating real estate transactions, rental compliance deadlines, or renovation timelines, and we build our process around your schedule rather than ours. When you hire Apex Restoration, you are getting a local team that knows Boise's housing stock, communicates clearly, and gets the job done right the first time.

Lead Abatement Service FAQs
Questions we get from our customers and our answers.
How much does lead abatement cost?
The cost of lead abatement depends on the size and severity of the project, along with the specific scope of work it requires, including safe containment, removal, and disposal of lead-containing materials. Larger affected areas or more complex contamination will naturally call for more involved work than a smaller, contained situation. We start every project with a free inspection so we can assess the conditions and put together a clear, written scope before any work begins. That way, you know exactly what we are doing and why before we ever get started.
Do we offer a money back guarantee for our lead abatement service?
We stand behind every lead abatement project with a lifetime warranty on treated areas, so if a covered issue ever comes back, so do we — at no cost to you. We're also Google Guaranteed, which means you have an added layer of protection and accountability on every job we complete.
How quickly can you come out for lead abatement?
Apex answers calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and we can have a certified technician at your door within one hour for a free inspection — no service charge, no waiting around. Whether lead abatement is discovered during a water damage restoration or you're calling us directly, we move fast to protect your family.
Do we offer free quotes for lead abatement?
Yes, Apex provides a completely free on-site inspection with no service charge, and our specialist will walk you through exactly what needs to be done and what to expect before any work begins. Most lead abatement projects are covered through homeowners insurance, and we work directly with all major carriers — including State Farm, USAA, Allstate, and more — so we can help you understand your coverage right from the start.
Will your family need to leave home during lead abatement work?
Yes, for the safety of your family and pets, temporary relocation from the affected areas is typically required during active lead abatement work, and your dedicated Apex project manager will walk you through exactly what to expect and how long it will take. We work efficiently and monitor progress daily to get your home cleared and your family back inside as quickly as possible.
