Lead Abatement Contractors in Pennsylvania (State List)

In Pennsylvania, lead abatement contractors, inspectors and risk assessors are certified by the Department of Labor & Industry (DLI), not by EPA. Below is DLI’s public list of certified lead abatement contractors, with each firm’s certificate number, address, phone and expiry date, searchable by name, city or ZIP.

In short: every listing comes from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (DLI)’s own public list, copied as published, with the date we checked it. We do not rank anyone or take payment to be listed. Always confirm a certification with the state before you hire.

Who is on this list

The list below covers abatement contractors: firms certified to permanently remove or enclose lead hazards. DLI also publishes a separate list of certified individuals (workers, supervisors, project designers, inspectors and risk assessors) by name, city and certificate number, without contact details. To check an inspector or risk assessor you plan to hire, ask for their certificate number and look it up on DLI’s lead occupations page.

DLI updates its lists often; the revision date is shown under the table. A few firms on the list are based in neighboring states but certified to work in Pennsylvania.

Which professional do you need?

• To find out whether a home has lead-based paint: a certified lead inspector. See lead paint inspection vs risk assessment.
• To find out whether there are lead hazards now (dust, soil, peeling paint), for example after a child’s high blood lead result: a certified risk assessor.
• To remove or permanently enclose lead hazards: a certified abatement contractor. See lead abatement.
• For repairs, painting or remodeling in a pre-1978 home: a lead-safe certified renovation firm. See lead-safe renovation (RRP).

For renovation, repair and painting work in a pre-1978 home (as opposed to abatement), Pennsylvania uses EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) program, so the contractor should be an EPA Lead-Safe Certified firm. You can check a firm on EPA’s firm locator.

Before you hire

Ask for the certificate or license number and check it with the state; ask what the inspection or risk assessment includes, which lab will analyze the samples (it should be on EPA’s NLLAP lab list), and what the written report will contain. Our guide on how to choose a lead inspector has a full list of questions. If you would like help finding the right kind of professional, send us a request.

If a child in your home has a high blood lead level, your local health department may arrange or recommend a risk assessment. Health questions belong with your doctor; see lead poisoning for what the CDC says and who to call.
