FAQs
Common questions
Can you tell if paint contains lead by looking at it?
No. Professional testing or laboratory analysis may be required to evaluate whether painted surfaces contain lead.
Do you perform lead abatement?
No. AP Consulting LLC provides inspection, testing, assessment, sampling, and reporting, not lead abatement.
Why are homes built before 1978 important?
Lead-based paint was used in many older properties, so pre-1978 homes are often a practical starting point for lead evaluation.
