Updating A Home With History
Older homes have character, and often decades of paint. Lead-based coats hide beneath later repaints, concentrated on trim, window frames, doors, and stairwells. Restoration work, stripping trim, replacing windows, opening walls, is exactly what disturbs them.
We help owners of heritage and older homes handle lead paint the right way: testing where needed, containing the work area, and removing or sealing lead surfaces safely so the home stays true to its era without the risk.
Why Older Homes
Why Older Homes Need Special Care
Layers Of History
Decades of repainting mean lead coats are often buried under newer paint, out of sight until they're disturbed.
Restoration Disturbs It
Stripping trim, swapping windows, and opening walls release lead dust, exactly the work older homes tend to need.
Preserve The Character
Safe removal lets you keep an older home's charm and detail while making it safe for today's household.

We identify and, where needed, test the painted surfaces in your renovation zone to confirm where lead is present.
Contain The Area
The work space is sealed with proper controls so lead dust doesn't spread through the rest of the home.
Remove Or Seal
We safely remove lead paint, or seal intact surfaces where that's the better option, with thorough cleanup.
Renovation Ready
With lead handled, your restoration or reno can proceed safely on the surfaces you're updating.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my older home has lead paint?
Homes built before 1980 are the most likely to contain lead-based paint, often under newer coats. You can’t confirm it by looking, so testing the surfaces you plan to disturb is the reliable way to know.
Can I keep my home's original trim and features?
Often, yes. Depending on condition, lead paint can be removed from original features or the surface sealed, letting you preserve the home’s character safely. We’ll advise on the best approach per feature.
Do I need to move out during the work?
Because the work area is contained, you can often stay in other parts of the home. For larger jobs we may recommend keeping the area clear, and we’ll advise based on your situation.
