What do you need painted?

Lead paint safety and cabinet painting

Fairfax County has thousands of pre-1978 homes — Falls Church, Vienna, Annandale, older Fairfax. Their kitchens may carry lead paint under the newer coats. Sanding it dry spreads lead dust. We do not do that.

What lead-safe looks like

Containment. The work zone gets sealed with plastic. Dust stays in the zone.

Wet methods and HEPA. No dry scraping. Dust gets captured, not spread.

Verified cleanup. The zone gets cleaned and checked before the plastic comes down.

This is standard practice on pre-1978 jobs. Not an upcharge. Not optional.

The bottom line

Lead paint does not mean you cannot paint your cabinets. It means the crew has to know what they are doing. We do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Could my old cabinets have lead paint?

If your home was built before 1978, possibly. Lead paint was common. We treat pre-1978 kitchens as presumed positive until tested.

Do you test for lead?

We assess the age and history on the visit. When lead is likely, we follow lead-safe work practices as standard.

What are lead-safe practices?

Sealed work areas. No dry scraping or open sanding. HEPA dust control. Careful cleanup, verified at the end.

Is it safe to live in the house during the work?

Yes, with proper containment. The work zone is sealed from living areas. We explain the setup before we start.
