Certified Lead Abatement Contractor

A Certified Lead Abatement Contractor is a professional authorized to safely remove or contain lead-based paint in buildings, especially in older homes or structures. Lead can be harmful, particularly to children and pregnant women, so contractors undergo specialized training and certification to ensure work is done following strict health and safety standards. Their role is to prevent lead dust or paint chips from spreading during renovation or demolition, protecting occupants and workers. Certification ensures they have the expertise and knowledge to handle lead safely and in compliance with federal and state regulations.
