WHAT WE TEST

Paint or dust?

01

XRF paint testing

Checks tested painted surfaces for lead. For renovation planning or documenting paint conditions.

02

Dust-wipe sampling

Measures lead in settled dust. Samples go to a laboratory, so report timing depends on analysis.

For a renovation question, start with the address, rooms, painted components, access limits, and planned work. The neighborhood can orient the request, but property details decide what should be tested and reported.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

A few questions,
answered.

What should a renovation request include?

Send the address, rooms or components, access limits, planned work, and the decision deadline. If you need dust wipes, explain the dust question so the scope and timing are clear.

A SoHo renovation request should include the address, rooms in the work area, painted components that may be disturbed, access limits, planned tasks, and the decision deadline. Identify shared corridors, service areas, or spaces that will not be opened. If work is phased, label the phase and rooms. These details help keep the testing request aligned with the actual renovation rather than the property name alone.

Should I request XRF or dust wipes?

XRF fits a question about painted components. Dust wipes fit a settled-dust or post-work question and require laboratory analysis. One project may need one method or both.

Use XRF for painted components in the renovation area. Use dust wipes for settled dust or a post-work question, and allow for laboratory analysis. When both are needed, state the separate locations and purpose of each. The distinction matters because a paint test and a dust sample answer different questions and should not be combined into one undefined renovation result.

What will the report cover?

A report covers the areas and components included in the agreed scope. It does not cover inaccessible areas or decide repairs, transactions, or other requirements outside that scope.

The report should identify the rooms, components, methods, and access limits covered by the agreed renovation scope. Keep it with the project file and note the phase it relates to. It documents testing only; it does not choose the construction method, confirm every area is suitable for work, or cover surfaces outside the stated scope.
