Our lead abatement process
Are you looking for lead abatement services? You own a house built before 1978, a renovation is about to disturb old paint, or a test has already come back positive. We deal with lead paint hazards in homes and commercial buildings, starting with a free, no-commitment inspection.
Step 1. Test the paint
Call and we set a time for a free inspection. Lead paint hides under newer coats, so we check where it wears first: window sashes, door frames, stairs and porch rails. We test suspect surfaces before anything is disturbed and give you the results in writing.
Step 2. Keep the dust in one room
Lead harms people as dust, not as a painted wall. So before work starts we close the room with plastic sheeting, cover the floor and the vents, and keep children and pets well away. What we disturb stays inside that room until it is cleaned up.
Step 3. Remove or seal, then clean
Some components come out, such as an old sash or a run of trim. Others are better sealed or enclosed, which is also a recognized abatement method. We bag the waste, clean every surface in the room and give you a written record of what was done and where.

We had Levi come out and give us an estimate on some lead removal in our 1912 house. He was punctual, knowledgeable, professional, and just an overall pleasant guy. He knew his stuff and gave us a very clear and fair estimate, I would definitely recommend this company- especially Levi- to anyone needing any remediation/restoration.

Apex restoration is amazing. They helped me deal with the situation helped me figure out where the issues were and helped be my advocate for me. I barely talked to insurance. They cleaned things up real nice. They took everything out that was the problem and they answered all my questions. They did great.
Why homeowners hire us for lead paint removal
Free inspections & estimates (no commitment)
Finding out whether you have a lead problem should not cost you a contract. The inspection and the written estimate are free, and you are welcome to compare ours with other quotes. You sign only if you choose us, and plenty of people simply want to know.
Removal is not the only option
Tearing out every painted surface is the most expensive answer, and often not the needed one. Paint in good condition can sometimes be sealed or enclosed instead. We tell you which surfaces need to go, which can be covered and which are fine as they are.
Planned around who lives there
Lead dust is hardest on young children and on pregnant women, so we plan the job around the people in the house. Tell us about a nursery, a crawling baby or a pregnancy. We schedule the work, and the rooms we close, to keep them clear of it.
Itemized estimate, 0% financing options
Insurance seldom pays for lead work, so the number has to be clear. Ours is itemized window by window and door by door, so you see what each part costs. 0% financing options are available. After a covered water loss in an older home, we bill insurance for that part.

They took time to protect the route to the job, properly set up a protective barrier before throughly removed all the damage.

Areas we serve
We serve Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley. A renovation is what normally brings old lead paint to the surface, so the time to test is before anything is sanded, cut or torn out.

Lead abatement questions homeowners ask
Questions we get from our customers and our answers.
How do I know if my home has lead paint?
Age is the first clue. Lead paint was banned for residential use in 1978, so any home built before then may have it, usually under newer layers. It is most often found on windows, doors, trim, stairs and porches. The only way to be sure is to test the paint, and a free inspection tells you which surfaces are worth testing.
Is lead paint dangerous if it is not peeling?
Lead paint in good condition, under sound newer paint, is usually not a hazard. It becomes a hazard when it chips, when windows and doors rub it into dust, or when renovation sands or cuts through it. Children and pregnant women are most at risk from that dust. If work is planned, test before you start.
Do I need to leave the house during lead abatement?
You need to stay out of the work area, and for larger jobs it is simpler to be out of the house while we work. The area is sealed with plastic and cleaned before it reopens. We tell you at the estimate stage which rooms are affected and for how long, so you can plan around it.
How much does lead abatement cost?
It depends on how many components contain lead and whether they are removed and replaced, stripped, or sealed in place. Windows and trim in one room is a small job. A whole exterior is not. After an inspection you get an itemized written estimate with no obligation, and we offer 0% financing options.
I am selling or renting out an older home. What do I have to tell people about lead?
Federal law requires sellers and landlords of most homes built before 1978 to disclose any lead-based paint they know about, and to give the buyer or tenant the EPA lead pamphlet, before a contract or lease is signed. It does not require you to test or to remove anything. Your agent or attorney can confirm what applies to you, and our written record gives you something accurate to disclose.
