About Lead Safe Painting Projects
The crew will wear protective gear in the preparation phase of the project that includes a full body suit, foot overs, gloves, and eye and breathing protection.
Heavy mil plastic is placed on the ground and taped against the house to capture all dust and debris that come off in preparation.
The surfaces of the home will be scraped and possibly sanded to remove and flaking or loose paint, then the exterior surfaces will be hand washed and dried.
Once prep is completed the exterior surfaces are repainted. Sometimes a primer step is done prior to painting.

Was Your Home Built Before 1978?
According to the EPA, most buildings built prior to 1978 will likely contain lead-based paint, a heavy mercury-like substance that is a health hazard to humans. Fortunately, now that the dangers of latent lead-based paint have become public knowledge, the EPA is actively involved in creating stringent regulations that govern the renovation of older homes containing this substance.
While lead-safe work practices require an EPA lead-safe contractor, additional labor, and materials, certified contractors will ensure that lead-based paint debris is removed and handled in a way that is safe to your home and family, as well as themselves. Always ask any contractor for their EPA Lead RRP certification number.
