Depends on the level of risk.

I haven't dealt with lead abatement but if they can just wear respirators and bag/clean the materials it shouldn't be too much

If it's a higher risk where they need to set up a containment etc it could be big $$$

Abatement work is really sketchy and kind of a scam, how companies deem "risk" and their procedures are all over the place, and even the government doesn't really set guidelines or procedures as to how to approach abatements, so it really leaves the home owner in a tough spot.

Ask them what's involved, how long it's going to take, what the clean up is, etc
