For some homebuyers, older houses hold a certain attraction. The architecture is appealing; there are details that often cannot be found in newer homes; and they just have that “welcome home” feeling. Unfortunately, they also might have lead-based paint. Lead paint is most commonly found in homes that were built or remodeled prior to 1978. If that’s your home and you are about to repaint, then you’ll need to make sure the painting job is done by one of the painting companies in your area that is certified to remove and/or repaint lead paint. Platinum Painting has this certification. Read on to find out about the hazards of lead paint and how interior painting can be accomplished safely.
