WHAT WE TEST
Checks tested painted surfaces for lead. For renovation planning or documenting paint conditions.
Measures lead in settled dust. Samples go to a laboratory, so report timing depends on analysis.
For a surface review, 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
Name the rooms and painted components that receive repeated contact or may be disturbed. Add access limits and planned repairs so the testing scope matches the decision.
For an Upper East Side surface review, mention the rooms and painted components that receive repeated contact or may be disturbed, along with the address, access limits, planned repairs, and decision deadline. Examples can include doors, trim, windows, walls, or other named surfaces, but list only the areas relevant to the request. This helps the scope follow the actual concern rather than an assumed checklist.
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 the painted surfaces you want evaluated. Use dust wipes for a settled-dust or post-work question, with laboratory analysis required. If a surface review also raises a dust question, describe both objectives and locations separately. That keeps the report clear about whether each result concerns paint, dust, or both without treating one method as a substitute for the other.
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 connect its results to the rooms and components included and accessible during the agreed testing scope. Keep any excluded or unavailable surfaces visible in the property record. It does not decide repairs, describe every similar surface as tested, or provide a conclusion for an area that was not part of the request.
