Common Renovation Activities
Sanding, cutting, drilling, demolition, removing painted components, window replacement, door replacement, and wall renovation can disturb old painted surfaces.
Lead Testing
Should You Test for Lead Before Renovating an Older Home?
Educational pre-renovation lead testing guidance for older homes, painted surfaces, windows, doors, trim, and demolition work.
Inspection Intent
Helpful property information, not remediation sales pressure.
Disturbing older painted surfaces during renovation may create dust. Lead testing before work begins can help homeowners, buyers, and property owners make informed renovation decisions.
AP Consulting LLC provides inspection, testing, sampling, assessment, monitoring, and reporting. We do not perform lead abatement, asbestos abatement, mold remediation, restoration, or other remediation work.
What Testing Can Help Evaluate
Testing may help identify lead-containing painted surfaces before work disturbs paint and dust. Requirements may vary based on jurisdiction, property type, and project purpose.
Careful Scope Planning
AP Consulting LLC can discuss inspection objectives and select testing methods based on the property and renovation concern.
