Safe and Healthy Living Environment
Your home should be a welcoming place where you feel safe and comfortable—and SFW Painting is committed to making your home environment as healthy as possible. If you have an older or historic home built before 1978, it may contain lead paint, which is known to present health hazards. SFW Painting provides professional Newcastle lead paint inspection and lead paint removal that enables you to rest at ease, knowing that your home is safe and lead-free.
Lead Paint Inspection for Peace of Mind
In 1978 the Environmental Protection Agency banned the use of lead paint because it was shown to cause developmental disorders, learning disabilities and behavioral problems in children, as well as seizures, internal organ damage, anemia, and brain and nervous system impairments in adults. If your home was built before 1978, it’s a wise idea to have it inspected. SFW Painting provides a comprehensive Newcastle lead paint inspection, examining all layers of paint on the interior and exterior portions of your home, including the body and trim, eves and soffit and accent areas.

To ensure a 100% clean working environment in your home, we utilize HEPA-rated technologies—sanders, shavers and dust extractor systems that remove all lead paint particulates from your home while we work and when we leave!
How Lead Paint is Ingested
You may think that it’s safe to live in a home with lead paint because, after all, it’s just on the walls. However, there are a number of ways lead paint can be inadvertently ingested. Firstly, as paint ages, it peels, cracks and crumbles to the floor where it can be easily chewed and swallowed by children and animals. It can also settle on household surfaces and be involuntarily ingested. Most commonly, lead paint on windows and doors is emitted into the atmosphere and breathed in unknowingly. Any of these forms of ingestion can lead to lead poisoning.
Great experience, from initial contact through to final invoice payment. Painters (Wendy & Max) were careful, considerate, thorough, and professional. The estimate and work in progress accounting was fair, transparent, and responsive. Highly recommended.
SFW from start to finish on my two decks were exemplary. Alex and Bryan supervised their team and were kind, professional and kept me in the loop every step. They were also very clean and timely. I highly recommend this company for any of your construction needs.
Greg and team did a great job of managing the project. Work was done in a timely and efficient manner and communications were clear and professional. Any follow up items were quickly addressed and I am very pleased with the paint work that was done.
