Lead paint is common in older homes. When it starts to chip and peel, particles of lead can enter the air in and around your home. That dust can cause dangerous respiratory symptoms, and long-term exposure is even more dangerous. If you think your home's interior or exterior paint has lead, find a local lead paint removal company that can help.
Professionals know how to safely remove lead paint. They use comprehensive methods like chemical stripping, HEPA vacuums, and abrasive blasting or, in the case that the paint cannot be removed, they use professional-grade compounds to cover it. They can use the best method to efficiently strip away the dangerous paint while leaving the rest of your home undamaged. Local companies can be onsite faster. They are also more familiar with local ordinances that regulate paint disposal.
If you think your home's surfaces have traces of lead paint, don't cover or remove the paint yourself. Type in your zip code and HomeAdvisor will find lead paint removal companies in your area.
