Professional Lead-Based Paint Removal
Lead paint is an unfortunate artifact of the past that causes significant health problems in the present. Lead paint was not banned until 1978, so if your home was built before that date it may contain lead. And exposure to lead paint is known to cause lead poisoning. Fortunately, there is a solution in professional lead paint inspection and lead paint removal, processes which safeguard your health and update your home to a new level of safety.
Interior Painting
The interior painting process must be minimally disruptive to you and your family. As your Renton 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.”

The Importance of Removing Toxic Lead from Your Home
The Environmental Protection Agency banned lead paint in 1978 because it was determined to cause developmental disabilities and behavioral problems in children as well as seizures, brain and nervous system impairments, and internal organ damage in adults. Removing the lead paint from your home ensures that you won’t expose yourself or your family to the possibility of lead poisoning.
