Lead Paint Mitigation in Fremont, CA
Authority Painting offers lead paint mitigation for properties in Fremont, Alameda County, and the East Bay. If your home or building may have older paint, the first step is a conversation about which surfaces could be affected and how the project should be approached.
Why older paint matters
Paint applied in many older buildings may contain lead. Lead-based paint that is intact can still become a concern when it is sanded, scraped, or otherwise disturbed during painting or repair work.
Start with a conversation
When you request an estimate, share the age of the property and which surfaces you want worked on. Windows, doors, trim, and exterior surfaces in older homes are common areas to discuss.
Professional assessment
Whether paint contains lead should be determined by an appropriate professional assessment. If you have results from a previous assessment, have them available for the estimate.
Please do not disturb suspect paint yourself
If you suspect older paint may contain lead, avoid sanding, scraping, or removing it yourself, and contact a qualified professional to discuss next steps.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my paint contains lead?
An appropriate professional assessment is the way to find out. The age of a property is an indicator but not a confirmation.
Should I scrape old paint myself before you arrive?
No. If the paint may contain lead, please do not sand, scrape, or remove it yourself. Discuss it during the estimate instead.
What should I mention when I request an estimate?
Share the property's age, the surfaces you want worked on, and any previous assessment results.
