Safe and Healthy Puyallup Home
The health risks of lead paint have been scientifically established by the US Federal Government. Exposure to lead paint can cause lead poisoning which may result in serious health hazards to children and adults. SFW Painting provides lead paint inspection and removal services that enable you to maintain a lead-free home that is safe and healthy.
Interior Painting
The interior painting process must be minimally disruptive to you and your family. As your Puyallup house painter, we will accommodate your busy schedule all year round—including the winter months.
Lead Paint Stabilization
Any home constructed before 1978 may have lead paint. In 1991 the EPA stated that lead-based paint is considered the “number one environmental threat to children’s health in the United States.”
Historic Home Restoration Contractor
Working on historical and vintage homes is a specialized skill set. Understanding the construction methods and materials used for these periods is crucial to these restorations. SFW Painting Contractor specializes in historical home restoration in Portland, Vancouver, and Seattle.
Qualified Lead Paint Inspection
If your home was built before 1978, it might contain lead. Homes built after this date likely do not have lead because the Environmental Protection Agency banned lead paint in 1978. To ensure that your home does not contain lead, SFW Painting performs a thorough lead paint inspection process, examining and analyzing all layers of paint on the interior and exterior surfaces of your home. If lead paint is found, we formulate a strategic plan to remove it.

SFW Painting uses established techniques for Puyallup lead paint removal, such as electric paint shaving, UV scraping, lead paint encapsulation, and hand scraping. We are a certified Lead Safe Renovation Firm with many years of professional experience in effective and reliable lead paint removal.

HEPA filters are based on United States Department of Energy standards and are the top-rated air filtration systems, providing total extraction of lead paint particulates from your home.
Signs & Symptoms of Lead Poisoning
Lead poisoning from lead paint exposure has been shown to cause developmental delays, learning disabilities and behavioral problems in children. It adults it can cause seizures, brain and nervous system impairments, internal organ damage and, in high doses, death. Lead is commonly ingested through breathing in lead paint dust particulates that are emitted from doors and windows painted with lead paint.
