NJ DCA licensed lead abatement contractor
Lead paint removal in New Jersey — violation removal, childhood lead cases and the rebuild.
Health Department violation, failed dust wipe, or a lead hazard identified in an inspection report? We remove the hazard under our New Jersey abatement licence, coordinate the clearance that closes the file, and put the components back — doors, windows, casings and finishes — under our home improvement registration.
Our lead abatement services
Safe, licensed lead paint removal
Lead-based paint is common in properties built before 1978 in New Jersey and before 1960 in New York City. Where an inspection, risk assessment, Health Department order or approved program scope identifies a hazard, these are the methods we use to address it.
Lead paint removal
Safe removal from walls, ceilings, trim and windows using HEPA filtration and certified containment.
Component replacement
Replacing lead-positive doors, trim, casings, thresholds and windows with lead-free materials.
Encapsulation & enclosure
Industrial coatings and enclosure systems that seal identified lead hazards, applied to recognised standards.
Post-abatement clearance
Dust-wipe clearance coordinated with an appropriately qualified independent provider where required, so the sign-off is never our own.
Interim controls
Where the identified condition and the applicable requirements call for hazard control rather than permanent abatement.
Reconstruction
The components we remove go back in — carpentry, drywall, plaster repair, priming and painting — under NJ HIC #13VH13909700.
Health Department cases
Received a violation notice or failed a dust wipe?
These arrive with a deadline and unfamiliar language. Send us the notice and any report that came with it — we will tell you what the municipality is actually asking for and what it takes to close it out.
What it costs
What drives the price of a lead abatement job
We do not publish prices, because a scope written from a website is a guess and guesses cost you money. What we can tell you is what actually moves the number, so you can judge any quote you receive — ours or anyone else’s.
- How many components are identified, and which ones — windows cost more than trim
- Whether the scope calls for removal, replacement or encapsulation
- Containment requirements and the size of the work area
- Occupied or vacant, and whether work has to be phased around tenants
- Permit fees, which we pass through at actual cost with no markup
- Clearance testing, paid directly by the owner to the independent inspection company
- How much reconstruction follows the abatement
Send the inspection report and you get a flat written price, not a range.

Questions owners ask
Lead abatement, answered plainly
What is lead abatement and why is it needed?
Lead abatement is work specifically intended to permanently address identified lead-based paint hazards — removing, replacing or permanently sealing the components that carry them. It is needed when an inspection, risk assessment, Health Department order or approved program scope has identified a hazard that has to be corrected rather than simply managed. It is different from renovation work performed with lead-safe practices, which controls exposure during the work rather than eliminating an identified hazard.
When should I consider lead removal?
Most owners reach us because something forced the question: a Health Department violation, a failed dust wipe, a child with an elevated blood lead level, a rental inspection result, an approved grant scope, or a sale that surfaced lead conditions. Owners also test and remediate voluntarily before renovating a pre-1978 property or before a family with young children moves in.
Can I remove lead paint myself?
Disturbing lead-based paint without the right controls can spread lead dust through a home, and abatement of identified hazards in New Jersey is licensed work. Where a property is subject to a violation, a program scope or a Health Department order, the work generally must be performed by a licensed abatement contractor with appropriate supervision and independent clearance. Tell us the property and the situation and we will explain what applies before you spend anything.
What certifications do you hold?
AAGLEAD LLC holds NJ Lead Abatement Contractor licence #00882-A, NJ Asbestos Abatement Contractor licence #02147, NJ Home Improvement Contractor registration #13VH13909700, and EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm certification #LBP-F264668-1, alongside lead evaluation and risk-assessment credentials and accredited asbestos building inspection personnel. Credentials can be verified directly with the issuing authority.
How long does an abatement project take?
It depends on the number of components identified, whether the property is occupied, and how much reconstruction follows. A single-unit interior scope is commonly a matter of days rather than weeks, plus the time required for independent clearance and any township coordination. We give a written schedule with the estimate.
