Lead lined drywall installation in Tempe, AZ
Tempe is the retrofit capital of our service area. The building stock is older than Gilbert’s or Queen Creek’s, and clinics serving the ASU population and the Broadway curve employment base keep moving into spaces that were retail, office or restaurant a decade ago. Converting those to urgent care or dental use means adding shielding to walls never framed for it.
Around Tempe St. Luke’s and along Southern Avenue, the typical call is a single radiographic room in an occupied clinic. That work runs evenings: containment up, wall open, lead lined board and battens in, penetrations backed, closed and ready for patients by morning. Two or three nights covers most single rooms.
Student-adjacent practices also run lean budgets, which is where published pricing earns its keep. You can read our ranges, run the estimator, and know before calling whether the project pencils.
When the old block wall works in your favor
Mid-century block-and-frame buildings common in Tempe often mix masonry and stud walls in the same room. Masonry itself provides some shielding value the physicist can credit, sometimes cutting the lead lined drywall scope in half. We flag that before quoting, because it can save a Tempe clinic thousands.

Tempe clinic questions
Can you convert a former retail space in Tempe into an x-ray capable clinic?
Yes, that is classic Tempe work. The shielding scope depends on what surrounds the room and what is above it, which the physicist report resolves. Budget from the single-room range of $6,000 to $15,000.
Our Tempe urgent care cannot close during the day. How disruptive is a retrofit?
Most single rooms shield over two to three overnight phases with containment, and the clinic opens each morning. Noise-heavy steps are done first each night.
Does an existing masonry wall count toward shielding?
Often, yes. A qualified expert can credit concrete block toward the required barrier, reducing or eliminating added lead on that wall. Bring the wall construction up when the report is being written.
Do you serve the ASU area practices?
Yes, everything from Mill Avenue to the Broadway curve. Evening and weekend scheduling fits the student-hours clinics there.
