Lead-Based Paint Screening in South Metro AtlantaOlder home? Know what's on the walls before you sand them.

Homes built before 1978 often carry layers of lead-based paint. Our surface screening checks selected painted surfaces using EPA-recognized test methods, so you can plan renovations and protect your family with real information instead of guesses.

What We Screen

Targeted surface testing where it matters most.

We screen selected painted surfaces, typically the areas most likely to be disturbed or touched: window sills and sashes, doors and frames, trim, and high-wear walls. Results indicate whether a lead reaction was present at each tested location, with written documentation typically the next business day.

01 Where We Test

  • Window sills, sashes, and wells
  • Doors, frames, and jambs
  • Baseboards and trim
  • High-friction and high-wear surfaces
  • Areas planned for renovation
  • Deteriorated or chipping paint locations

02 Why It Matters

  • Lead paint was common before 1978
  • Sanding and demo can release lead dust
  • Young children are most at risk
  • Knowing changes how you renovate
  • Intact lead paint can often be managed
  • Documentation guides safe next steps
Who Should Screen

Buying, renovating, or raising little ones in an older home.

Screening is quick, minimally invasive, and turns an unknown into a plan. It pairs naturally with a home inspection on any pre-1978 property.

Buyers of Older Homes

If the home predates 1978, assume lead paint is possible. A screening tells you whether selected surfaces show it, before you commit.

Planning a Renovation

Cutting, sanding, and demolition disturb paint layers. Knowing what's there first means the work can be done safely and legally.

Families With Kids

Lead exposure risk is highest for young children. Screening the surfaces they touch most is a simple, protective step.

Common Questions

Answers before you book.

Does a screening cover the whole house?

No. We screen selected surfaces, and results apply to the locations tested. Lead can be present in untested or concealed areas, which your report explains clearly.

What if a surface tests positive?

It becomes information you can act on: manage intact paint in place, plan renovation-safe practices, or bring in a licensed lead professional for a full risk assessment.

When do I get results?

Surface screening results are qualitative, and written documentation is typically provided by the next business day.
