Services
Boise's full-scope
environmental consultant.
SAGE Environmental Services is Boise's full-scope environmental consultant. We focus on what your property needs: most require a Phase I ESA, fewer need Phase II, and only some need remediation planning. We ensure you're not paying for unnecessary services.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
Property-history research, regulatory records search, site reconnaissance, and recognized environmental condition identification for commercial transactions. Our primary deliverable — and the one lenders, developers, and CRE agents request first.

Phase II Subsurface Investigation

- Soil & groundwater collection

- Data report + recommendations
Phase III Environmental Remediation
Project-based cleanup and corrective-action planning for confirmed environmental hazards on commercial and industrial properties — scoped, sequenced, and coordinated with state regulators.
- Remediation planning
- Regulator coordination
- Contractor oversight
- Closure documentation
Lead-Based Paint Sampling
Lead-based paint inspections and XRF testing for pre-1978 structures — sized for commercial and multifamily due diligence and delivered on the same timeline as your Phase I.
- Pre-1978 building inspection
- XRF lead-paint testing
- Lab confirmation sampling
- Inspection report
Radon Screening
Short-term radon measurement for commercial and multifamily acquisitions — canister placement, lab analysis, and a documented result you can put in front of a lender or buyer.
- Short-term radon canisters

About SAGE
A small firm built around
one signature — and one standard.
SAGE Environmental Services is a Boise-based environmental consultancy specializing in commercial-transaction due diligence. We were founded to solve a specific problem: CRE closings kept stalling on late, under-scoped, or over-priced Phase I reports from national franchise consultancies.
Today the firm is owner-operated, highly credentialed, and relentlessly focused on clean deliverables for commercial real estate agents, developers, lenders, and investors. We read the standard, we walk the site, and we write the report. No outsourcing, no hand-offs, no boilerplate.
Boise-based and working the full Intermountain region — Idaho, Northern Utah, Eastern Oregon, and Western Montana. We know the historic land uses that matter here: rail spurs, dry cleaners, ag chemical storage, mining legacy. Our work is BBB Accredited; you can also find us on LinkedIn.

Economical and thorough. I’m so glad I worked with this company. Brenda was transparent every step of the way. I felt comfortable to ask questions and very satisfied with the end report. Brenda was knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.
Incredible company. Brenda goes over and beyond as an environmental consultant. Highly recommend.
I have worked with Brenda on multiple projects. Sage Environmental has been extremely professional, efficient, communicative, and her work was worth every penny. Highly recommend.
