Lead Paint Removal for Fire Island homeowners

Fire Island is a barrier-island community reached by ferry or the bridges at either end, where storm, surge, and flood exposure is a fact of life and a well-coordinated response matters more than anywhere. A good share of Fire Island’s homes predate the modern bans on these materials, so they turn up here in insulation, tile, siding, and older paint — we test first and contain the work before anything is disturbed. Fire Island is a barrier island reached by ferry or the bridges at either end, so we coordinate priority dispatch from our Ronkonkoma base and stay on the phone telling you exactly what to do until our crew reaches you.

Fire Island is a car-free barrier beach reached only by ferry or the bridges at either end, with largely seasonal, wood-framed homes exposed directly to surge, wind, and salt — conditions that reward a well-coordinated response.

Homes built before 1978 often contain lead-based paint, and it becomes dangerous when it chips, deteriorates, or is disturbed during renovation or repair — creating lead dust that's especially harmful to young children. We're EPA Lead-Safe Certified, which means we follow the lead-safe work practices the law requires to contain, remove, and clean up lead hazards properly.
