I just saw that your lead info is a little incomplete so here is a bit
more:

Taking a swipe and testing it works but it doesn't tell you about
whether your paint contains lead or not.  Typically, lead paint was used
on woodwork, in bathrooms and in kitchens.

DDJ Lead testing (I don't have their number) uses a method that can
search through multiple layers of paint and wallpaper.  I forget the
name of the method but when I was looking into having our house tested,
my research showed that this was the best method out there.  They
charged $150 for the whole house which took close to 4 hours and they
came back to retest some questionable areas.  They were nice to work
with and were very good about addressing my concerns.
