Safe and Healthy Living Environment
Having a beautiful home that you work so hard for should equate with having a safe and healthy living environment. While older and historic homes are charming, many were built with lead paint, which means they may contain hidden health hazards. Inadvertent lead poisoning from lead paint is something you want to avoid at all cost. SFW Painting provides a professional and affordable Everett lead paint removal process that begins with an inspection of your home for lead paint.

Why You Should Have Lead Paint Removed From Your Home
Lead paint was legally banned from use in residential painting in 1978. However, many homes built before then implemented lead-based paint—and the older your home is, the more likely it was built with lead paint. Lead is a highly volatile and toxic heavy metal unfit for human consumption. However, lead paint can be inadvertently ingested in a few ways. As homes age, the paint peels, cracks and falls to the floor where it can be easily ingested by children and animals. And lead paint particulates are emitted into the air through opening and closing of windows and doors, where they can be ingested via breathing.
