Lead paint testing in Goodyear, AZ
Goodyear began in 1917 as cotton land for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, but most of its homes went up after 1990, so lead paint testing in Goodyear is the exception rather than the rule.

When lead paint testing makes sense in Goodyear
The company bought 16,000 acres here to grow cotton for tire cords, and the farm community became a town in 1946. Today the city takes in large master-planned communities such as Estrella and Palm Valley.
Only about 4 percent of Goodyear homes were built before 1980, by Census Bureau estimates for 2020 to 2024, and nearly four in five date from 2000 or later. For most homeowners here, the house itself doesn’t need a lead test.
That leaves a short list: the older homes and rentals, soil next to older buildings, and paid work on a pre-1978 child care center or preschool, which the EPA’s RRP rule covers along with older homes.
What we test in Goodyear
For Goodyear properties built before 1978 we offer lead-based paint inspections, soil sampling where older buildings are being repainted or torn down, and dust wipe clearance once renovation or abatement is done. If your house is newer than that, we’ll say so and skip the test.
Lead Based Paint Inspections
A surface-by-surface investigation to determine the presence of lead-based paint, and a report explaining the results.
Limited Lead Testing
Testing narrowed down to the sections of a home that the homeowner or contractor specifies.
Soil Sampling
Soil sampling for lead contamination in the soil surrounding a house.
Dust Wipe Clearance
Dust wipe sampling to find out whether the dust in your home contains lead.
Goodyear questions
Does an older child care building in Goodyear need lead testing before a remodel?
Testing isn’t required, but the rules matter. A pre-1978 building counts as a child-occupied facility under the RRP rule when the same child under 6 is there on a regular schedule that meets the rule’s minimum hours, and paid work that disturbs paint there needs certified renovators and lead-safe work practices. An XRF inspection first shows which painted surfaces are lead-based paint.
Is soil testing worth it in Goodyear?
Mainly near older buildings. Weathered exterior paint from before 1978 can settle in the soil along a building’s drip line, so we sample play areas and garden beds next to older structures, especially around demolition or exterior work.
