"I’d like to warn you all about Octagon Construction and the horrible experience we have had with them. Before Thanksgiving, the machine overflowed. For hours. Filled my basement. Serv Pro came and tested everything and determined our floors needed to come out in the basement, kitchen, hall, bathroom and laundry room. Octagon Construction told us we were next on the list. We moved into a hotel. They told us it would be done in a week . They came for a few days and then no one showed up. For days. Mike reached out to them & they said they went to do some other job. Then they told us it would be another week. And then another week. And then another week. When we finally came home after a month + my house was completely filthy. Every nook, every cranny, under several inches of dust, including upstairs, in my bedroom, in my drawers. Everywhere. I took time off from work and started cleaning. Every single thing I own. My previously freshly painted walls now had stuff smeared on them that wouldn’t come off. The dust isn’t regular dust but more like some dust and goo combo that isn’t easy to clean off. Mike had to repaint the walls. But worse, our floor looked like s***. There were tiles popping up everywhere. There were huge gaps around the edge & the trim. The insurance guy came. A tile expert came. And then Octagon informed us we would have to move back to the hotel. I lost it because I’d just spent several days cleaning from the time I got up until the time I went to bed. They promised that this time they would clean. They said they would be done Sunday. When I finally got home Tuesday my couch was IN PIECES in the middle of the living room and s*** was in piles. And the dust was back on everything again and in every nook and cranny. My basement is covered in the dust and wood shavings. My refrigerator is dented. My brand new stool has a hole on it. My weights are covered in thinsulate. There are dings in the walls, paint on the floor, scratches on my fridge and walls. A plant is just entirely missing. I sent pictures to Alex, the schmuck who’s the contact at Octagon. This morning , after promising they would clean everything when he told us we had to move back out, I sent pictures when I got home, I get this message “We have met and exceeded our contractual obligations for our agreed upon scope of work. You will be receiving our invoice for the balance due. “"

Lead paint removal costs about $3,600, ranging from $1,500 to $5,800, depending on several factors, such as square footage, removal method, and its location in your home. Keep in mind that lead paint removal costs $8 to $17 per square foot, ensuring a permanent and maintenance-free fix.
Additional cost factors for lead paint removal include:
Location
Materials and equipment needed
Disposal method
Accessibility
Surface types
Repairs needed
Labor
Professional lead-paint abatement companies use a variety of methods to remove lead-based paint, depending on each particular situation. Some of the most common methods include:
Total removal: $8–$17 per square foot
Demolition and replacement: $1,000–$15,000 per project
Encapsulation: $4 per square foot
Enclosure: $10 per square foot
Chemical stripping: $10–$17 per square foot
Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.
Common home surfaces to test for lead include:
Walls
Windows
Doors
Molding and trim
Railings
A professional lead paint removal company should remove any lead-based paint from your home. You should not remove or paint over it yourself because handling lead-based paint poses health risks, according to the EPA. Professionals trained and certified to handle lead-based paint abatement use specialized equipment like HEPA vacuums and methods like chemical stripping and abrasive blasting to remove paint and particles as safely as possible. They are also trained on how to properly dispose of lead-based paint material.
You should ask a few questions to ensure that your potential lead removal professional is experienced and qualified to handle lead-paint abatement safely, legally, and properly.
What are your qualifications and experience removing lead-based paint?
Are you licensed and certified to remove lead-based paint?
How do you test for lead paint?
What methods do you use for lead-based paint abatement?
What do you plan to do with the hazardous material when you remove it from the home?
Do you do replacement and painting work or removal only?
