"The work was excellent, including the scraping, painting and carpentry work. The crew was thorough, pleasant to work with and very responsive to our questions and concerns. They came out several times to make sure all the old lead paint chips were removed. I️ highly recommend Northeast Remediation."

"I had Aand Y do work on my house, including de-leading, lead assessment and construction work. I have a 100+ year old home and have had every kind of contractor under the sun do work on it. Never have I had one as good as Shawn Young. From the start, he was reliable, dependable, honest and thorough. He followed through at every step and was highly communicative. The job that he did was not a smooth one but he kept at it like it was a personal mission to complete it well. For example, a new window was installed by the manufacturer but done incorrectly. He handled all of the communication with the window company to have a new one installed. Then, when the town inspector came to the house and rejected the window because it didn't have tempered glass, he replaced/fixed it so it would pass inspection and on HIS dime. He never asked us to pay for it because he said that he should have caught the error. NO contractor does this! The job is done and I'm so impressed. Shawn Young, from Ames and Young demonstrates integrity that's rare in the contracting world. I want to add that all of this work, which took months to do, was via long distance. I lived in Europe and trusted him to take care of my house and coordinate with the tenants scheduling for the job. I was completely confident that my house and tenants were in the right hands. If you need to speak with me personally, I will gladly do so."

FAQs for toxic lead testing projects in Winchendon, MA

If your home was built before 1978, there’s a strong chance it contains lead-based paint. Many pre-1980 houses also contain lead in their plumbing and decorative materials, so age alone is a significant red flag. Older homes near industrial areas face an even higher risk. Because you can’t confirm lead by sight, scheduling a test is the safest way to protect your family.

In older houses, lead can lurk in painted trim, window sashes, soil around the foundation, plumbing pipes, and even vintage hardware. The metal is toxic, and children and pregnant women are most at risk. Exposure can trigger developmental delays, learning problems, and organ damage. Because the EPA links even low levels to serious health effects, test every suspected surface and address any hazards right away.

A positive test means lead is present somewhere you can touch, breathe, or disturb. The next step is a full risk assessment to map exactly where the hazard lies and outline the safest fix: encapsulation, enclosure, or full removal. Repairs start at $1,000 but can exceed $10,000 for complete elimination, so act quickly and hire certified pros to keep your family safe.

EPA lead certification proves that inspectors, risk assessors, and abatement contractors follow federal safety rules under the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Program. The credential costs an average of $300, and certified professionals can legally test, contain, or remove lead hazards. Hiring a certified pro protects you from fines and ensures the work meets strict health standards.

Lead-based paint looks no different from any other paint, so you can’t identify it by color or sheen. Even flawless walls may hide it. If paint starts chipping, flaking, or peeling, schedule a professional test right away. Only laboratory-grade testing confirms lead and guides the safest fix for your home.
