Paint Removal

Bring your home back to its original design and luster with CertaPro Painters® of Newton’s paint removal services. Old homes are prevalent in New England, which means you could be living in a house with layers upon layers of paint on the exterior. Eventually, that paint will fail and chip. Additionally, if your home was built before 1978, lead paint could be present. Ensure your home is lead paint-free and in pristine condition with our professional deleading and paint removal services.

Our Paint Removal Process

Many homeowners attempt to scrape away old paint on their own with less than ideal results. Or they’ll simply paint over the home’s existing layers. This is just a band-aid solution. Eventually, the paint will continue chipping and failing no matter how much paint you put on top of it. At CertaPro Painters® of Newton, we provide you with reliable, long-term solutions.

Learn more about our paint removal process:

• Assess and demonstrate. When you contact CertaPro Painters® of Newton for your paint removal project in New England, we will come to your home and give you a free estimate. We’ll assess the condition of your exterior, looking for symptoms of failed paint. We can then demonstrate how our paint shaver works and show you a video of our deleading process.
• Meticulous preparation. Our main priority is safety — not just for our crews, your home, and your neighbors but also for the environment. We take the time to cover everything, including the plants and bushes surrounding your exterior, in plastic. If there’s lead paint present, we take extra precautions, so dust isn’t flying everywhere and causing harm. We use a HEPA vacuum, which takes all of the dust into the vacuum resulting in a very clean process. It’s our attention to detail and the desire to preserve your property that separates us from our competitors.
• Use of top of the line equipment. Instead of merely sanding and scraping, we use a paint shaver with a cutting edge that removes layers of old, stubborn paint getting right down to the original surface. This labor-intensive process requires crews of at least four people, which ensures job and environmental safety. Our professional painters undergo special training to make sure they know how to use the shaver properly.
• Remarkable results. The paint shaver provides optimal results as we can shave and vacuum the material down to the substrate. Once your exterior is as good as new, we can paint your home in whichever color your desire. Our process doesn’t just cover up old paint; it revives your home and enhances its visual appearance.

We take pride in our work from start to finish. Even though you may live in an old New England home, you’ll be amazed at how your exterior will look brand new.

Paint Removal from Wood

Our professional paint removal services are usually performed on wood siding substrates. Though this service can be done on both exterior and interior wood surfaces, we typically focus on the outside of the home since the paint shaver works best on a flat surface.

The paint shaving process is very mechanical and can be performed on any type of paint, including lead-based paint. When it comes to deleading, we make sure the process is environmentally-safe and isn’t jeopardizing you or your neighbors.

Additionally, we recommend scheduling paint removal projects in the spring and fall. During these seasons, the temperature is ideal, and our crews can work safely in their suits and masks.

Benefits of Paint Removal

Paint removal projects have several benefits, including:

• Lead removal. Lead-based paint can be a health hazard to humans. When you work with CertaPro Painters® of Newtown, your deleading will be handled in a safe manner that complies with regulation from the EPA.
• Home revival. When you invest in paint removal services, you’ll be proud of your home from the inside out. Paint removal isn’t just a regular painting project; it’s a revival and a restoration project that adds a lot of value to your home.
• Increased resale value. Make a lasting impression on potential buyers when the exterior of your home looks better than brand new. Having your exterior paint removed, sanded, and repainted will increase your resale value and boost your curb appeal. Though paint may not make or break a potential buyer’s purchase, it will save them from future headaches and ensures there is no lead-based paint on the property.
• Long-term solution. Once we perform our paint removal services, you won’t have to worry about your paint failing for a long time. A complete revival of the exterior lasts much longer than painting on top of what’s already there. Your house will be in excellent condition for years to come.

If you care about your home’s condition and the environment, then you should consider a paint removal project, especially if your home has layers of old paint flaking and chipping. Our attention to detail, thorough process and incredible results will make your home the talk of the neighborhood.
