With all the recent
publicity about lead contamination its no surprise that many homeowners are
concerned about potential contamination in their own homes. And for good reason: exposure to airborne
lead or touching of lead particle residue, particularly by children and pets,
can have serious consequences.
When it comes to
preventing lead exposure within your household the most important steps you can
take are to maintain your home by periodically examining it for deteriorating
paint and water damage, and removing shoes when entering the house as lead can
be tracked in from outdoor soil.
Lead contamination
can also be an issue when completing exterior home improvement projects. Lead is most often a concern at a home that
was painted before lead based paints were phased out. Projects such as window or gutter
replacement, which may require soffit or fascia repair or replacement, are likely
to dislodge paint causing a potential lead contamination concern.

we have addressed this issue by becoming Lead Safe Certified by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Our staff is trained to properly identify and
notify you of any potential problems with lead paint during exterior work on
your home thereby avoiding unwanted exposure to you, your children and pets. Our
experts want to keep you and your family safe!
