We Eliminate Lead-Based Paint To Protect Families
Your home is one of the greatest investments you’ll ever make—so why not ensure that it is a healthy environment for all who enter? Lead paint in homes is a known source of illness for children and adults. A toxic heavy metal substance, lead was banned from paint in 1978 by the Environmental Protection Agency; however, many older and historic homes still contain lead paint.
SFW Painting can refurbish your home and make it a safe lead-free space through home lead paint inspection and lead paint removal.
Interior Painting
The interior painting process must be minimally disruptive to you and your family. As your Tacoma 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.”

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.
