Safety with Professional Paint Chip Sampling
Laboratory-confirmed lead results
Paint chip sampling removes a small sample of every paint layer down to the substrate and sends it to an accredited laboratory for analysis. It is used to confirm inconclusive XRF readings, test surfaces an XRF analyzer cannot read reliably (such as curved or small components), and provide laboratory documentation when an owner, buyer or agency requests it. Exit Lead collects samples carefully, patches sample locations, and delivers lab results with a clear explanation.
Standards we work under: EPA and HUD lead-based paint testing guidance, NYC HPD lead-based paint rules, and analysis by laboratories accredited under the EPA National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP).

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about paint chip sampling in NYC.
When is paint chip sampling better than XRF?
When XRF results are inconclusive, when a surface is hard to read with an XRF analyzer, or when laboratory documentation is specifically required.
Does paint chip sampling damage the wall?
It removes a small area of paint at each sample location. We clean up and stabilize the spot after sampling.
How long do lab results take?
Typically a few business days, depending on the laboratory and turnaround requested.
Can you test just one surface?
Yes. We can sample a single component or an entire unit.
