— LEAD PAINT STABILIZATION
Careful Preparation for Older Painted Surfaces
Older homes and buildings can have layers of aged paint that require careful handling before applying a new finish. Peeling, chipping, or deteriorated coatings require appropriate methods to control dust and debris while protecting the surrounding property.
