Do You Handle Lead-Based Paint?

We have been certified to handle lead-based paint projects for over 10 years. There are some things to keep in mind when recoating over lead-based paint. First, and foremost, the EPA is very strict when it comes to its regulations of Lead particles allowed in the atmosphere. If we are working within any residential areas, particularly where children are staying, the EPA has specific regulations against exposure to lead and lead dust. When we are working in these environments, great care must be taken to ensure residents are not exposed to excessive lead particles. This means we must take extra precautions when preparing these surfaces for painting.

Generally speaking, handling lead-based paints will almost double the normal amount of prep time that would be originally estimated. There are many contractors that will handle lead based paint without the proper training and precautions, but our position is that despite the additional cost, we will do all we can to retain a safe environment for everyone involved, our customers and our employees.
