Posted on January 3, 2024
In today’s housing market, the safety of home improvement practices is just as important as the aesthetic outcomes. For homeowners, particularly those in SW Jefferson County, understanding how painting contractors handle older homes can significantly impact your choice in hiring professionals.
CertaPro Painters of SW Jefferson County stands committed to ensuring both the beauty and safety of your home, but we do NOT perform paint scraping or lead mitigation services on homes built before 1978.
It’s crucial for homeowners to recognize that homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, which, when disturbed, can pose serious health risks. Exposure to lead paint dust can lead to a range of health issues, from cognitive impairments in children to cardiovascular effects in adults. Given these risks, CertaPro Painters of SW Jefferson County adheres strictly to safety regulations by choosing not to scrape paint on these older homes. We prioritize the health of our clients and their families, and as such, we steer clear of any procedures that could potentially release lead contaminants into your environment.
Understanding that some homeowners may be disappointed by our policy of not working with lead paint, it’s important to emphasize the reasons behind this choice. This decision aligns with our commitment to safety and compliance with environmental and public health guidelines. When dealing with homes that have the potential for lead-based paint, professional lead abatement services are the recommended course of action. These specialized services are equipped to safely handle and mitigate lead risks, ensuring that any renovation or painting project is done safely and effectively.

Selecting the right colors and finishes can transform your living space, not only by reflecting your personal style but also by potentially increasing your home’s market value. Our team offers color consultation services to help you make choices that complement your home’s architecture and interior design.
Furthermore, for those living in homes built before 1978 who may need lead paint management, we can provide guidance on how to proceed safely.
