We Get The Lead Out
The Environmental Protection Agency stated in 1991 that lead-based paint was considered the “number one environmental threat to the health of children in the United States.” We are always careful to follow strict EPA guidelines when remodeling or painting in areas where lead-based paint might be a concern. Even the possibility of these toxic paints only serves to reinforce our already strict preparations and procedures when it comes to removing lead-based paint.
Who Is At Risk?
Homes and commercial properties built as recently as 1978 contain varying degrees of lead paint. Some older homes may even have heavily leaded paint—paint that was manufactured before we knew just how bad lead paint can be. But don’t worry, if the paint is removed properly, with all protective coverings and clean up procedures in place, the threat can be completely eliminated from your home.

During the lead paint removal process, it’s not uncommon to discover other repairs that need to be done on your home.
