Remtech Environmental helps Raleigh homeowners, property managers, landlords, and renovation professionals make informed decisions about lead-based paint. If a property was built before 1978, painted surfaces may need evaluation before renovation, repair, or removal work begins.
Our education-first approach is designed to give you a clear scope, explain the available options, and protect occupants from unnecessary dust or disruption. We serve Raleigh and the surrounding Triangle with project-specific guidance for residential and commercial properties.

An evaluation is especially useful when you are buying, selling, leasing, or renovating an older property. Peeling, chipping, or chalking paint can create concern, but intact paint can also become a hazard when it is cut, sanded, scraped, or otherwise disturbed during a project.
The right next step depends on the building's age, the painted components involved, the condition of the surfaces, and the work you plan to perform. Remtech can explain what should be tested and what information a contractor, property manager, buyer, or seller may need before work proceeds.
Testing provides facts before a renovation or abatement decision. Depending on the property and project, evaluation may include a review of building history and materials, paint-chip sampling, or other appropriate testing performed by a qualified professional. Visual appearance alone cannot establish whether paint contains lead.
If lead is confirmed, the appropriate response may be stabilization, encapsulation, enclosure, component replacement, or removal. The best option depends on the condition of the paint, the location of the material, occupancy, future renovation plans, and the documentation the property owner needs. Remtech explains the tradeoffs rather than pushing one method for every property.
For more background, read our Raleigh lead-based paint homeowner guide. If you are ready to discuss your property, request a free consultation.
We start by listening to what you know about the property and what work you need to complete. The initial scope considers the building's age, occupants, affected materials, access, project timeline, and any testing or documentation already available.
When work will disturb lead-painted surfaces, the work plan should address containment, occupant protection, dust control, appropriate equipment, waste handling, and the applicable EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting requirements. We explain the controls that apply to your project before work begins.
A professional project includes careful cleanup and clear documentation of the work performed. We walk property owners and project stakeholders through the result, any recommended follow-up, and the records that should be retained for future maintenance, renovation, leasing, or sale decisions.
Lead-paint questions often arise during a move, a renovation, a property inspection, or a change in occupancy. Remtech provides clear project guidance for Raleigh homeowners and for the professionals responsible for keeping a property safe and properly documented.
Understand the next step before disturbing painted surfaces in an older home.
Coordinate evaluations, work planning, occupant communication, and records.
Get practical information for older-property transactions and due diligence.
Plan safer work for contractors, owners, and occupants before construction begins.
You cannot confirm lead-based paint by looking at a surface. A qualified professional can evaluate the property's age, materials, and planned work, then recommend appropriate testing such as paint-chip sampling or other approved methods before renovation or removal begins.
Homes and buildings constructed before 1978 have a greater likelihood of containing lead-based paint. Older Raleigh neighborhoods, rental properties, commercial buildings, and properties undergoing renovation may need an evaluation before painted surfaces are disturbed.
Removal takes lead-painted material out of the property. Abatement is the broader process of controlling or eliminating a lead hazard and may include removal, replacement, enclosure, or encapsulation when appropriate for the material and project scope.
Dry sanding, scraping, or using tools that create dust can spread lead particles beyond the work area. Before disturbing paint in a pre-1978 property, get professional guidance about testing, containment, lead-safe work practices, and the right method for the material.
Remtech begins with a clear consultation and project scope. When lead hazards are confirmed, the team explains the available approach, establishes appropriate containment and lead-safe work practices, completes the planned work, and documents the project and cleanup steps for the property owner.
Lead-paint project pricing is consultation-based and depends on the property, affected materials, testing needs, access, containment, disposal, and selected abatement method. Remtech provides project-specific guidance and a quote after understanding the property's condition and scope rather than publishing a standard rate.
Tell us what you are seeing, what work you are planning, and what you need to know. Remtech Environmental will explain the next step and help you decide whether testing, stabilization, or a broader lead-paint project makes sense.
