Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Improper sanding or removal can release harmful dust particles into the air. Using trained professionals helps reduce health and environmental risks during painting and renovation work.

If your home was built before 1978, we can discuss potential lead paint concerns and recommend the safest approach for preparation and repainting.
