"Is There Lead Paint in My Home?"
28% of Reading homes are pre-1940. Most contain lead paint. We're EPA Lead-Safe certified โ we test, contain, and remediate properly while other painters illegally scrape and sand without certification.

Reading's historic plaster and original woodwork needs specialized prep that most painters skip. We stabilize cracks, skim-coat damaged areas, and use flexible primers designed for historic plaster before any paint touches your walls.
