Q: What is the best way to remove lead paint?

• <div><p>The best way to remove lead paint is by wet hand sanding and removing all dust and residue with a HEPA vacuum. Professionals may also strip and scrape lead-based paint with a paint scraper. In some cases, you may choose to have a pro encapsulate or enclose your lead-based paint surface by covering it with a sealant or a new material. You may also choose to replace the material altogether.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove all exterior paint before repainting?

• <div><p>There are times when you should remove all exterior paint before repainting. This includes when you need to get rid of lead-based paint (which should be done by a pro), or if you need to apply a different finish than what&rsquo;s already there. Your house may also have too many pre-existing layers of old paint, in which case you&rsquo;ll be better off getting rid of the old layers first.</p></div>

Q: Can paint thinner damage surfaces?

• <div><p>Yes, paint thinner can damage some surfaces. Specifically, it can cause a lot of damage to laminate flooring if applied incorrectly. </p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove all the old paint before repainting a deck?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it&rsquo;s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with. </p></div>

Q: Can I paint over lead paint?

• <div><p>You can paint over lead paint, or &ldquo;encapsulate&rdquo; it with a special paint that includes an ingredient called an encapsulant. 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>

"We loved working with EcoBlast! They painted our exposed basement ceiling matte black. Mike was really easy to communicate with; he replied quickly and worked with our scheduling needs. Cody and the other gentleman who came to do the work prepped the space well, were thorough in their work, and were polite and curteous. The next day we discovered a tricky duct that didnt take the paint well on the joints and they responded quickly to come and do a repair. Our ceiling looks fantastic; we are very pleased with the work."
