“When we contacted SFW Construction what really impressed us was the enthusiasm they had for taking on the lead paint removal project as well as their knowledge and expertise with being able to remove the lead paint in an environmentally safe manner.”

—Tony Marick, Homeowner (1910 American Craftsman Home)

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.

Discovering Repairs During The Lead Paint Removal Process

During the lead paint removal process, it’s not uncommon to discover other repairs that need to be done on your home. If any of the issues listed below are discovered during a lead paint removal project, SFW Construction is here to seamlessly keep the project on track. No need for our clients to become general contractors, we can handle every contingency.

Certified Lead Safe Home Restorations

According to the EPA, lead paint removal projects should only be performed by Certified Lead Safe Restoration Contractors, like SFW Construction. We understand that Pacific Northwest homeowners care about the environment, safety, and their family’s health. Many paint contractors shy away from this work because of the difficulty, the regulations, and the stringent rules. We embrace lead paint removal projects with a passion. We do this to help preserve homes in Portland, and make them beautiful, and be environmentally safe.
