Exterior lead paint removal

Can anyone recommend a reputable company that can remove lead paint from the rear exterior of our house? We have tested the bits that are flaking off the back and there is indeed lead. We are open to working with someone who specializes in lead abatement or not--we'd just like someone who can do it carefully and safely, as we have a young child. Thanks in advance.

he's a bit of a pain, as he's real a perfectionist/zealot, but thats basically what you want with work like this.

5:26, Don't be an ass. Children get lead poisoning from many ways other than eating paint chips. The poster is aware of this, and is looking for a good company to help rid their home of harmful lead.

"Children get lead poisoning from many ways other than eating paint chips."

really? what other way would that be when the paint is on the exterior of the house.

i doubt they could breath enough of it while OUTSIDE to make a difference.

paint over it. you'll be fine.

Children play in the dirt which contains lead paint from peeling paint. The favorite activity for small children is to put their feet and hands in their mouths.

right, hence the question, do they eat paint? which the answer was apparently "yes".
