How Much Does Lead Paint Removal Cost in Atlanta?
Lead paint removal costs $8-$25 per sq ft. Encapsulation (sealing over lead paint) costs $2-$5 per sq ft. Lead testing runs $300-$500. Always hire an EPA-certified contractor.
Lead paint is common in Atlanta homes built before 1978. Federal law requires EPA-certified contractors for any work that disturbs lead paint. Here is what removal and encapsulation cost.
Typical Pricing in Atlanta
Lead paint testing costs $300-$500 for a full home assessment. Encapsulation (applying a specialized coating over lead paint) runs $2-$5 per square foot and is the most affordable option when the lead paint is in good condition. Full removal costs $8-$25 per square foot because it requires careful containment, specialized equipment, and proper hazardous waste disposal.
What Affects the Cost
The choice between encapsulation and removal depends on the condition of the existing paint and the location. Encapsulation works well on intact surfaces that will not be disturbed. Full removal is recommended for friction surfaces (windows, doors), childrens rooms, and surfaces in poor condition.
