FAQ
How do I know if my home likely has lead paint?
Homes built before the 1990s have higher odds of lead paint. Start with a risk review before painting or repairs. Additionally, check windows, doors, stairs, and trim for brittle layers or chips. Clear information turns concern into an organized plan.
Is it safe to stay in the building during the project?
Safety depends on layout, schedules, and who uses the space. Plan around school hours, appointments, or tenant needs to reduce disruption. Additionally, staged work limits exposure and keeps routines possible. Good timing supports clean re-entry and steady peace of mind.
Do I need testing before starting renovations in an older property?
Testing turns guesswork into clear planning. Use targeted checks when buildings predate newer standards or show heavy wear. Additionally, results help set priorities by room and by timeline. Good information prevents delays and supports choices for families, tenants, and staff.
Which areas usually carry the highest risk inside a building?
Friction zones release particles as parts move. Focus on windows, doors, stairs, railings, and baseboards that take hits. Additionally, exterior trim near entries can shed dust people track inside. Early attention reduces spread, protects routines, and lowers anxiety for occupants.
How fast can scheduling move once I decide to proceed?
Timelines depend on access, scope, and the building calendar. Respond quickly with next steps and practical dates that fit reality. Additionally, coordinate with landlords, managers, and contractors. Clear communication locks plans, protects budgets, and keeps work on track without surprises.
