Q: Do all homes that were built before 1978 contain lead paint?

• <div><p>While not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, enough do, so you&rsquo;ll still want to test to be on the safe side.

Q: Can I paint over lead paint?

The EPA approves encapsulation as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-options-do-i-have-remove-lead-paint.htm">lead paint removal method</a> as long as the paint remains undisturbed. Standard types of paint without an &ldquo;encapsulant&rdquo; from the big box stores or hardware stores do not meet EPA standards for remediation of lead-based paint.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to dispose of hazardous wastes?

• <div><p>Household products such as paints, cleaners, oils, and batteries are considered hazardous and should not be disposed of with regular household waste.

Q: Is it safe to remove old linoleum?

• <div><p>It is safe to remove old linoleum, but it may require the help of a specialist due to the risk of asbestos in the material.

The project was vinyl siding replacement and painting. This website would not let select that so I just picked one of the options. However, the service provided was fantastic. Done right the first time and done for the quoted price. They were professional and courteous. I highly recommend them.
