Deleading - Price Gouging (Massachusetts)

[Owen D.]

Hey BP, 

I had a lead inspection done on a property I own (Massachusetts) which turned up very little lead paint according to my review of the inspection report and by multiple contractors that I have received estimates from; however, their estimates have been incredibly high to address the small amount of lead paint.

Does anyone else feel like the lead abatement process is a scam and that these contractors are totally price gouging because they feel like they can? 

If anyone has a referral for an honest contractor who is licensed in Massachusetts for deleading and/or a company that does vinyl siding and is certified "lead safe" I would really appreciate if you could pass that long.
