Professional Lead Abatement for Long Island Homes and Rentals
Lead paint is the rule in older Long Island housing, not the exception. We find it, remove it safely, and clean the space to a strict standard.
Nassau County housing is roughly 88% pre-1978 and Suffolk sits around 73%, which means most homes out here were painted when lead paint was still legal. That is not a reason to panic. Intact paint in good condition is often stable. The danger is lead dust, which comes off friction surfaces like windows and doors every time they open, and off any paint that is chipping, peeling, or being sanded. That dust is what harms children, and you cannot see it. Boyle Contracting is a licensed lead removal company serving Suffolk and Nassau County, handling everything from a few problem windows to whole-building abatement for landlords.

Tell us about the property and we will come assess it. Lead removal services are priced by the number and type of surfaces involved, so a walkthrough gives you a real number instead of a rough guess.

What Lead Abatement with Boyle actually Looks Like
The goal of a lead job is not a wall that looks better. It is a space that is properly cleaned of lead dust, which is a much higher bar. Lead dust is fine enough to settle into carpet fibers, window wells, and floorboard gaps, and ordinary cleaning spreads it around rather than removing it.
So we work in the opposite order from a painter. We contain the area first, use methods that keep dust down rather than generating it, and clean with HEPA equipment and specialist techniques. Professional lead removal is really a dust-control discipline with some paint work attached, and treating it the other way around is why so many DIY attempts leave a house worse than before.
Service benefits
Certified lead-safe work practices on every job, from a single window to a whole building.
Containment and HEPA cleaning included as standard, because the dust is the actual hazard.
A thorough HEPA cleanup at the end, with documentation for landlords and owners.
Options explained honestly, including when intact paint can be sealed rather than removed.
Documentation you can hand to an inspector, an insurer, or a future buyer.
Why property owners choose us for lead work
Windows, doors, stairs, and anything that rubs. Blanket-stripping a whole house when four friction points are the problem wastes your money.
HEPA vacuums, wet methods, and sealed containment. The invisible part of the job is the part that protects your kids.
Lead dust is invisible, so the cleanup gets as much care as the removal itself.
If you need to satisfy an inspection or document a turnover, you get the file to do it.
Sometimes encapsulating sound paint is the right call and costs a fraction of abatement. We say so.
How a lead abatement job works
We assess the property and identify where lead is present and which surfaces are deteriorating or high-friction. The inspection tells us what is there instead of us assuming.
You get an itemized plan: which surfaces get removed, which get encapsulated, what containment is involved, and what it costs.
We seal the work area and protect the rest of the home, including HVAC, so dust has nowhere to travel.
Wet scraping, controlled removal, or component replacement where that is cheaper and cleaner than stripping.
We clean thoroughly and hand you the documentation at the final walkthrough.

Featured case studies
A multi-family rental failed a municipal inspection due to chipping window trim. We stripped friction surfaces, encapsulated intact paint, and completed the work in 48 hours.
Owner needed deteriorating 1920s exterior lead paint addressed safely before repainting. We used wet scraping methods and secured the soil perimeter to prevent ground contamination.
Lead was found on original architectural doors. We removed the doors for off-site safe stripping and reinstalled them without spreading dust into the active retail space.
