LEAD PAINT RESTORATION CONTRACTOR
It’s not just old paint—it’s a health risk.
If your home was built before 1978, there’s a good chance it contains lead-paint—especially on trim, doors, windows, and siding. When disturbed, lead dust and chips pose serious health risks, particularly to children. We are certified to safely remove lead paint hazards and restore your home to a clean, beautiful, and healthy state. No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just experienced, licensed professionals handling it the right way.
Why does restoring lead paint matter?
Even small amounts of lead dust can affect brain development in children and cause long-term health problems. That’s why federal and state regulations require lead-safe practices during restoration work on homes built before 1978.
Any time old paint is scraped, sanded, or cut, there’s a risk of releasing toxic lead dust. DIY solutions or non-certified contractors often miss the mark—putting families at risk and potentially violating state law.
We are an EPA-certified Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) contractor and an Oregon State Certified Lead Abatement Contractor. That means we follow the strictest containment, removal, and cleanup protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my home has lead paint?
Can I just scrape off the old paint myself?
We strongly advise against it. Improper scraping can release lead dust into the air, creating a serious health hazard. Certified contractors follow containment and cleanup rules that keep your home safe.
Is lead paint restoration included in my painting project?
If we suspect lead paint during your estimate, we’ll inform you and include certified restoration as part of the scope. We never proceed without your understanding and approval.
Are you certified to handle lead paint?
What’s the difference between lead paint renovation (restoration) and abatement?
Lead paint renovation (RRP) is often surface-level and voluntary. Abatement is a legal process requiring state-certified professionals, paperwork, and post-project clearance—typically when lead hazards pose significant health or legal risks.
Do I need abatement if I’m selling or renting my home?
If your property has known lead hazards and was built before 1978, abatement may be required—especially for rentals, HUD transactions, or homes occupied by children. We recommend you contact us first. We’ll provide solide advise before you make any decisions about whether to encapsulate the lead paint, or abatement it.
