EPA Lead-Safe Certified

Comprehensive Lead-Based Paint Removal Contractors

Lead-based paint becomes a serious liability when it deteriorates, chips, or gets disturbed during renovation and demolition work. For property owners across the Denver metro area and Colorado's Front Range, addressing lead hazards is not optional — it is a regulatory requirement and a safety obligation. Atlas Contracting & Environmental Solutions has been performing lead abatement, stabilization, and encapsulation work for over 18 years, and we bring the certifications, containment discipline, and project coordination that this type of work demands.

Pre-1978 Residential Properties

Most homes built before 1978 contain some amount of lead-based paint. When renovation plans call for disturbing painted surfaces — whether during a kitchen remodel in a Highlands Ranch split-level or a full gut renovation in a Park Hill Victorian — the EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule kicks in. Atlas handles the lead-safe scope first so the rest of your renovation stays on schedule and compliant. We have performed residential lead abatement across Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Boulder, and dozens of surrounding communities.

Commercial and Multi-Unit Buildings

Older commercial properties — apartment complexes, office buildings, schools, and government facilities — often have extensive lead paint on interior and exterior surfaces. Atlas coordinates large-scale abatement projects that account for occupied spaces, phased access, and multi-trade sequencing. Our DUNS number (117517457) and CAGE code (62FR3) qualify us for federal and government-contracted lead abatement work, and our crews understand the documentation and clearance protocols these projects require.

Renovation-Phase Lead Coordination

Lead abatement rarely happens in isolation. It is almost always the first domino in a larger renovation, restoration, or demolition project. Atlas integrates lead-safe work into the broader construction schedule — setting containment, completing abatement or stabilization, clearing the space, and handing off to the next trade. This coordination matters most in complex scopes where mold remediation, asbestos abatement, and structural demolition are all happening on the same property.

Emergency Disturbance Response

Sometimes lead paint is discovered mid-project — a contractor opens a wall and finds deteriorated coatings, or a property inspection flags lead hazards that were not anticipated. Atlas responds to these situations with rapid containment and assessment so the project does not stall. We mobilize certified crews across the Denver metro area and along the Front Range, from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins, to get disturbance situations under control before they become contamination events.

Sheridan's Choice for Regulatory-Compliant Lead Abatement

From Sheridan to every corner of the Denver metro area, Atlas is the contractor property owners and facility managers call when lead paint has to be handled correctly. Regulatory compliance is not a checkbox for us — it is the foundation of every project plan we build.

EPA RRP Rule Compliance

The EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule applies to any work that disturbs lead-based paint in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities. Atlas holds EPA Lead-Safe Certification No. NAT-F222667 and follows every containment, cleaning verification, and waste handling requirement the rule mandates. Property owners who hire uncertified contractors face fines up to $37,500 per day per violation — and more importantly, they risk exposing occupants and workers to dangerous lead dust.

Colorado CDPHE Standards

Colorado's Department of Public Health and Environment enforces state-level lead abatement regulations that go beyond the federal baseline. Atlas maintains compliance with CDPHE licensing, notification, and clearance requirements. Our project documentation meets the standards that state inspectors and property owners expect — including pre-project notifications, daily containment logs, and post-abatement clearance testing by independent third-party laboratories.

Government and Federal Projects

Atlas is registered and verified for federal contracting with DUNS number 117517457 and CAGE code 62FR3. We perform lead abatement on government-owned properties, military housing, HUD-assisted housing, and public facilities where compliance documentation is non-negotiable. Our crews understand the additional reporting, security, and clearance protocols these projects require.

Containment Engineering

Effective lead abatement starts with effective containment. Atlas builds negative-pressure containment zones using polyethylene sheeting, HEPA-filtered air machines, and decontamination chambers. Every containment setup is designed to prevent lead dust from migrating beyond the work area — protecting occupants in adjacent spaces, HVAC systems, and common areas. We verify containment integrity before work begins and maintain it throughout the project.

Clearance Testing and Documentation

Every Atlas lead abatement project ends with independent clearance testing performed by a certified third-party inspector. Dust wipe samples are collected from floors, windowsills, and window troughs, then analyzed by an accredited laboratory. We do not consider a project complete until clearance results confirm that lead dust levels are below EPA and CDPHE action thresholds. Property owners receive a full documentation package for their records, insurers, and any regulatory filings.

Waste Handling and Disposal

Lead-contaminated waste — paint chips, dust, sheeting, PPE, and removed building materials — must be handled as regulated waste under EPA and Colorado rules. Atlas manages waste from containment through manifested disposal at licensed facilities. We provide waste manifests and disposal documentation as part of every project closeout package, giving property owners the paper trail they need for compliance records and potential future liability protection.

Our Process

How Atlas Handles Lead Paint Abatement

Every lead abatement project follows a structured, inspection-driven process. We do not guess at scope or skip steps — the regulatory framework does not allow shortcuts, and neither do we.

Assessment and Scope Planning

We start with a thorough review of the property condition, paint testing results (XRF or lab analysis), and the planned renovation or demolition scope. This assessment determines whether stabilization, encapsulation, or full removal is the right approach for each surface. Atlas provides a written scope of work that covers methods, containment design, timeline, and regulatory requirements — so owners know exactly what the project involves before work begins.

Containment and Work Controls

Before any lead-disturbing work begins, Atlas installs containment barriers, HEPA filtration, and worker decontamination zones. We post required signage, secure the work area from unauthorized access, and verify containment integrity. Our crews wear full personal protective equipment and use wet methods, HEPA vacuums, and controlled demolition techniques to minimize dust generation throughout the project.

Abatement Execution

Depending on the scope plan, our certified crews perform stabilization (sealing and repairing deteriorated coatings), encapsulation (applying approved barrier coatings), or full removal (wet scraping, chemical stripping, or controlled mechanical removal). Each method follows EPA and CDPHE protocols. Daily work logs track progress, containment condition, and any scope adjustments required by field conditions.

Cleaning and Clearance

After abatement is complete, Atlas performs a multi-stage cleaning protocol: HEPA vacuuming all surfaces, wet wiping, and a final HEPA pass. We then coordinate independent clearance testing by a certified third-party inspector. Dust wipe samples are analyzed at an accredited lab, and the space is not released until results confirm lead levels are below regulatory thresholds.

Waste Disposal and Project Closeout

All lead-contaminated materials are containerized, labeled, and transported to licensed disposal facilities with proper manifesting. Atlas provides a complete closeout package including clearance reports, waste manifests, daily work logs, and a project summary — giving property owners the documentation they need for compliance, insurance, and future due diligence.

Renovation Handoff

When lead abatement is part of a larger renovation or restoration project, Atlas coordinates the handoff to the next trade or construction phase. We provide turnover guidance that covers what was abated, what was encapsulated, and any areas that require monitoring or future attention. This sequencing keeps the broader project on track and prevents re-contamination of cleared spaces.
