Many Birmingham houses built before 1978 still contain lead-based paint beneath layers of newer coatings. When disturbed, those flakes or dust particles become a serious health hazard—especially for children and pregnant women. Removing or encapsulating lead paint is not a cosmetic upgrade; it is a safety requirement regulated by the EPA and the Alabama Department of Public Health. CountBricks specializes in residential lead paint removal Birmingham families can depend on for complete compliance and lasting peace of mind.
• AI-powered estimating ensures every square foot, labor hour and material cost is captured in real time.
• Voice-driven onsite walk-throughs let our project managers dictate findings directly into the CountBricks platform, generating an immediate, line-itemized estimate.
• Our certified lead-safe renovators follow strict containment and disposal protocols, keeping your household protected and your project approved.
• Integrated blueprint takeoffs tie abatement tasks to replacement finishes so you see the full path from demo to final coat.
CountBricks begins with EPA-recognized XRF testing to confirm lead presence. Results are uploaded to CountBricks.com/services, where you can review digital documentation alongside a preliminary cost model.
We isolate the work zone with dust-tight barriers, negative air filtration and HEPA-filtered vacuums. Containment details appear in your project portal so you know exactly how we are protecting adjoining rooms.
Depending on substrate condition and budget, CountBricks offers three approaches:
• Chemical stripping for thick layers that cannot be sanded.
• Wet scraping and HEPA sanding to minimize airborne dust.
• Encapsulation with high-build elastomeric coatings when removal is impractical.
All debris is bagged, labeled and transported to approved facilities. Chain-of-custody forms are stored in your CountBricks project file for future resale disclosures.
Lead abatement does not end with removal. Surfaces are skim-coated, primed and brought to a paint-ready finish. Homeowners select zero-VOC paints via the CountBricks color catalog, and our crews apply durable topcoats that seal in long-term safety.
Every Birmingham home is unique, but CountBricks sees common drivers that affect lead paint removal pricing:
• Square footage and number of coated layers
• Wall versus trim or window assembly complexity
• Access challenges in tight historic layouts
• Required encapsulation products and final finish grade
• Disposal volume and local landfill fees
Because our AI engine updates material pricing daily, your quote reflects the most current market rates—no hidden markups, no surprises.
Most single-family projects span 4–10 days:
1. Day 1: Testing and containment setup
2. Day 2–4: Active removal or encapsulation
3. Day 5: HEPA cleaning and clearance testing
4. Day 6–10: Surface repair, priming and paint application
Live timelines are available in your CountBricks dashboard, so you can coordinate family schedules confidently.
