Methods of Lead Paint Removal
Several methods are used for lead paint removal, each with its own cost implications and benefits:
- Encapsulation: This involves covering the lead paint with a special coating. It is often the least expensive method, costing between $0.50 and $2.50 per square foot3.
- Removal: This is a more comprehensive method where the paint is physically removed, often using techniques such as scraping or sanding. This method is more labor-intensive and can be more costly.
- Replacement: In some cases, replacing the surface entirely, such as removing old windows or doors, might be the most effective solution.
