Lead Paint Removal

We've just been told by a tester that the entranceway to the garden apartment in our brownstone is filled with lead paint dust (it has a lot of old peeling paint on the walls). Could anyone recommend a contractor/painter who is trustworthy and certified to do this kind of job? Thanks.

my only experience with lead abatement co is one that ripped me off. Be careful as the industry is probably dominated with scammers.

How did you end up dealing with this?

Were you happy with who did the work?

I am dealing with a very similar problem. I think we are going to cement up the walls, though I am still trying to decide what to do with the iron gate (probably encapsulate in place).

Every contractor has different recommendations, and I am trying to decide what will be best (e.g., do we need to strip impact areas of the gate before encapsulating)?
