Lead Paint Removal & Repaint in Franklin, TN

In June 2023, our team at CertaPro Painters of Nashville undertook a critical lead paint mitigation project in Franklin, TN. The focus was on a residential property over a century old, which presented unique challenges due to its age and the condition of its existing paint. The project spanned just one week from start to finish, showcasing our ability to handle complex tasks efficiently.

Initial Condition of the Home

Upon beginning the work, it was clear that the home had suffered from neglect concerning its exterior paintwork. There was significant peeling of lead-based paint on both the siding and trim. This not only detracted from the home’s appearance but also posed severe health risks due to the toxic nature of lead.

Special Challenges

Dealing with lead-based paint requires more than just good painting skills; it demands a rigorous approach to safety and adherence to specific regulatory requirements. One of the challenges we frequently encounter is ensuring that all safety protocols are followed meticulously by every crew member. Continuous training and supervision are key to our success in these projects.

Equipment and Techniques Used

To ensure safety and thorough coverage, our team used ladders to access the entire exterior of the home. This approach ensured no areas were missed during the containment and painting process. Initially, it was evident that the home’s exterior had been neglected, with significant peeling of toxic lead-based paint on the siding and trim, which compromised both appearance and health safety.

Steps Taken in the Project

Our main objective was to tackle the lead paint issue safely for both our crew and the homeowners, strictly following the EPA’s lead paint containment guidelines. Here’s how we did it:

Safety Measures: Every team member wore essential safety gear, including respirators, Tyvek suits, and gloves, prioritizing safety with hazardous materials like lead-based paint.
Containment: We used thick plastic sheeting to enclose work zones, preventing lead paint chips and dust from escaping and ensuring no lead exposure.
Surface Preparation: We repaired the damaged wood on siding and trim to prepare surfaces for new paint, ensuring it would adhere well and last long.
Priming and Painting: We cleaned thoroughly, then applied primer and durable exterior paint, updating the home’s appearance and ensuring a lead-free exterior.
