SFW Painting Specializes in Lead Paint Removal
Wilsonville is a quaint town replete with charming and historic homes. However, if your home was built before 1978 there is a good possibility that it contains lead paint, which has been proven to be highly deleterious to human health. As the leading Wilsonville lead paint removal service, we’re here to make your lovely home a safer place to live.
Interior Painting
The interior painting process must be minimally disruptive to you and your family. As your Wilsonville 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.
Why You Should Have Your Home Checked for Lead Paint
In 1978 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the use of lead paint because it was learned that having such a toxic element as a lead in one’s home can be extremely dangerous. Children who ingest lead paint were seen to develop learning disabilities as well as an impaired nervous system and brain functions. Adults are at risk too because any amount of lead in one’s system can lead to significant health problems, including stomach pain and anemia.
Comprehensive Lead Paint Inspection & Removal Process
SFW Painting conducts a thorough evaluation of your home for lead paint. We look at all painted surfaces, the body, trim, eves, accents, and soffit on the exterior and interior of your Wilsonville home, and examine all layers of paint. Then we devise a lead paint removal plan that is affordable and effective for you.
SFW Painting specializes in professional lead paint removal and is accredited and licensed as a Lead-Safe Renovation Firm. We employ environmentally safe and effective lead paint removal techniques without the use of chemicals, including lead paint encapsulation, electric paint shaving, and UV Scraping, mixed with lots of good old-fashioned hand scraping.
