"We are doing a major renovation in a 120-year-old home. When working with a home of this age it is guaranteed that you will uncover some surprises when working on it. When we discovered we had the lead in our walls and ceilings we had a few consultations and quotes from other companies that left us overwhelmed and defeated. Things turned around when we finally found A1A. Sean, David, and the crew are fair, kind, and extremely helpful. It helps that they value old homes and work with you to find the best option with both safety and preservation in mind. We had to have the crew out three times to complete work because each round of demo kept uncovering new findings, but Sean and David never once tried to take advantage of us. David or Sean would come on-site each time to guide us through our options and test any additional surfaces that were uncovered. They worked quickly as well which helps when we are moved out and on a timeline for our renovation project. I cannot recommend them enough for any of your mold, lead, or asbestos needs."

FAQs for toxic lead service projects in Birmingham, AL

Your standard homeowners’ policy won’t pay for lead paint removal because insurers treat it as a maintenance issue, not a sudden loss. If a covered event like a fire or flood damages a lead-painted wall, the carrier will replace that wall but not cover full abatement. Plan to budget for lead removal yourself, or look into state or local grant programs that offset the cost.

Yes, you can sell, but federal law says you must disclose any known lead paint and share paperwork for past remediation or encapsulation. Honest disclosure protects you from legal trouble and helps buyers understand any work that still needs doing. Many sellers also offer a closing credit to cover future abatement, so talk to your real estate agent about local norms.

Lead paint contains the heavy metal lead, which becomes airborne when the coating chips, peels, or turns into dust. Breathing in or swallowing that dust allows lead to accumulate in your body and can trigger headaches, cognitive delays, organ damage, and other serious issues, especially in children and pets. 

Because the danger hides in everyday activities like opening a window or sweeping a floor, complete removal or professional encapsulation is the safest long-term fix.

Plan on spending $200 to $400 on lead inspection costs. A certified tester will scan walls, trim, and other surfaces with an X-ray fluorescence device, zeroing in on high-risk spots throughout your home. The report will spell out where lead is present and how severe it is, giving you the facts you need to budget for removal and keep everyone safe.
