We Eliminate Lead-Based Paint
Let’s face it, lead paint is a problem. The use of lead paint was outlawed by the federal government in 1978 because it was found to pose serious health risks in children and adults. If you live in an older or historic home, it’s a good idea to have it inspected for lead paint and safeguard your health. SFW Painting is a certified Lead Safe Renovation Firm that has provided effective Sammamish lead paint removal for over a decade, and can help you protect your health while updating and beautifying your home.
Interior Painting
The interior painting process must be minimally disruptive to you and your family. As your Sammamish 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.
Lead Paint Is Toxic And Can Cause Lead Poisoning
The problem with lead paint is that it contains lead! And exposure to lead can cause lead poisoning, which leads to developmental disabilities and behavioral problems in children as well as seizures, anemia, internal organ damage, and brain and nervous system impairments in adults. The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that no amount of lead ingestion is safe. So if you live in a home that contains lead paint, you may be exposing yourself to long-term health problems.
Professional Lead Paint Inspection
If you suspect your home may contain lead paint you should have a professional Sammamish lead paint inspection. SFW Painting conducts a thorough examination and analysis of all layers of paint in the interior and exterior portions of your home. Then we provide you with a conclusive report on whether your home has lead paint. When lead paint is found, we develop a strategic and cost-effective plan to remove it.
Top Notch Lead Paint Removal
SFW Painting provides reliable Sammamish lead paint removal using effective and environmentally sustainable techniques, including UV scraping, electric paint shaving, and hand scraping.
