Lead Paint Testing Services

Of all the things you have to worry about when you’re buying a home, paint really shouldn’t be one of them. The problem is, if you’re looking at an older home, the topic can shift quickly from “Why did they choose that color?” to “Welcome to the danger zone”— all due to the existence of lead paint.

Lead was a popular ingredient in house paint for years before scientists discovered that this element—if eaten or inhaled as dust in the air—could cause a wide range of health problems, from anemia to seizures to death, particularly in children.

Let us help give you the peace of mind knowing your home is safe with Lead Paint Test!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need lead paint testing when buying a home?

If the home was built before 1978, lead paint testing is strongly recommended, especially if you have young children. Federal law requires sellers to disclose known lead hazards, but testing reveals what they may not know.

How much does lead paint testing cost?

Professional lead paint testing in the New Ulm area ranges from $150 to $400 depending on the number of surfaces tested. XRF testing provides instant results, while paint chip samples are sent to a lab.

Is lead paint common in New Ulm MN homes?

Yes. Many homes in New Ulm, Mankato, and surrounding communities were built before 1978 when lead paint was banned. Older homes in downtown areas and historic neighborhoods have the highest likelihood of lead paint.
