LocalServ.Pro — Lead Paint Services Hiring Checklist
Prepared October 17, 2026
Planning aid; verify current project requirements. No request is sent.

Lead paint work needs a defined goal before you hire. You may need to understand existing hazards, renovate an older room safely, or address lead hazards under the requirements that apply to the property. These are related but distinct tasks, and the contractor or inspector must be qualified for the actual scope.

DISCUSS WITH THE PROVIDER
Is this inspection, lead-safe renovation, or an abatement project?
Who confirms the work meets the applicable completion requirements?
What must residents, pets, and neighboring occupants do before and during work?

COMPARE IN WRITING
[ ] Included tasks, materials and quantities
[ ] Exclusions, allowances and change approval
[ ] Relevant credentials, insurance and who performs the work
[ ] Permit responsibility, schedule, payment milestones and cleanup
