Lead hazards are fixed in a few ways: removing the paint, replacing the component (often doors and windows), enclosing it, or encapsulating it with a special coating. The right choice depends on the surface, the violation and your plans for the unit. We’ll recommend the most practical fix and price each component clearly.

Frequently asked questions
How fast do I need to correct an HPD lead violation?
The correction period is on the violation. Send it to us as soon as it arrives so work and clearance can be scheduled in time.
Can the tenant stay home?
Usually, for small jobs. The work area is contained and the rest of the apartment stays usable. Children and pregnant people should stay out of the work area.
Do you repaint after?
Yes. Repainting can be added, including materials.
Is replacement better than stripping?
For windows and doors, replacement is often quicker and permanent. For walls and trim, stripping or encapsulation usually makes more sense.
What about a failed NJ lead-safe inspection?
We fix the hazards and coordinate the re-inspection so you can get the certificate.
Do you only do violations?
No. We also do preventive abatement before tenants move in and during renovations.
