Lead Paint Testing
Lead Paint Testing In Calgary

Know Before You Sand Or Scrape
Lead-based paint hides under newer coats and across trim, windows, and doors in older homes. Because it looks like any other paint, it’s easy to disturb unknowingly during a reno, releasing lead dust before you even realize it’s there.
Testing confirms whether lead is present and where, so you can plan safely. Whether it’s for a renovation, a repaint, peace of mind with young kids, or a property sale, a documented result tells you exactly what you’re dealing with.
When To Test
When Lead Paint Testing Makes Sense
Before A Renovation
Any sanding, scraping, or demolition on old paint can release lead dust. Test first so you know what's safe to disturb.
Homes Built Before 1980
Older homes are far more likely to contain lead-based paint, which makes confirming it worthwhile before any work.
Buying Or Selling
A documented test gives buyers confidence and helps sellers disclose honestly during a property transaction.
