How much do inspections/abatements cost now? Will this rule increase the cost of existing lead contractor services?

The current industry inspection standards are generally the same as prescribed under the new training and certification program. Costs for inspection and risk assessment services, therefore, should not change as a result of this rule. While the cost for abatement activities vary widely in relation to the size of the building and the amount of lead-based paint present, EPA estimates that the average cost of an abatement is $7,300, of which approximately $250 would be attributable to the Federal training and certification program.
