Useful when demolition work may disturb painted surfaces or contaminated debris.
Peeling Paint
Chipping, cracking, or deteriorated paint may need assessment and controlled removal.

Older homes and commercial spaces may contain lead-based paint or coatings.

Commercial renovation projects may require lead removal before interior changes.

A Clear Lead Removal Process from Start to Cleanup
Every project is different, but our process is built around safety, communication, containment, and clean project handoff.
Site Review
We review the property, project area, access needs, and the surfaces or materials involved.
Planning
We determine the safest removal approach based on the material, location, and project scope.
Containment
The work zone is prepared with protective barriers, floor protection, and controlled access.
Removal
Lead-containing materials are removed carefully using controlled methods and proper PPE.
Cleanup
The area is cleaned, debris is collected, and waste handling is coordinated responsibly.
Lead Removal Should Be Handled with Proper Controls
Lead removal is not just a cosmetic paint job. It is a hazardous material concern that requires careful planning, protective equipment, containment, cleanup, and proper waste handling.
For more information about lead exposure and safe work practices, see WorkSafeBC’s lead safety resources and exposure-control guidance. For disposal considerations, BC provides guidance for managing lead-containing construction and demolition waste.

Common Questions About Lead Removal
What is lead removal?
Lead removal is the controlled removal of lead-containing paint, coatings, dust, or materials from a property. It is commonly needed before renovation, demolition, or repair work that may disturb older painted surfaces.
When is lead paint dangerous?
Lead paint becomes a concern when it is peeling, chipping, cracking, or disturbed during sanding, scraping, cutting, renovation, or demolition. These activities can create dust and debris that should be handled carefully.
Do I need lead removal before demolition?
If lead-containing materials are present in the demolition area, lead removal or a safe handling plan may be needed before work begins. This helps reduce contamination risk and supports safer site preparation.
Can I remove lead paint myself?
Lead paint removal should be handled carefully because disturbing it can spread contaminated dust. For renovation or demolition projects, it is safer to work with a team experienced in containment, PPE, cleanup, and disposal planning.

The timeline depends on the size of the work area, the condition of the painted surfaces, access, containment needs, and the amount of material being removed. Small areas may be faster, while larger renovation or demolition projects require more planning.
