Q: Do you have to remove lead paint?

• <div><p>You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it&rsquo;s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.</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>

Q: Why is lead removal necessary for older homes?

• <div><p>Lead removal is crucial in older homes to eliminate risks of lead poisoning, which can severely affect health, particularly in children, by impacting development and cognitive functions.</p></div>

Q: Are old roof shingles toxic?

• <div><p>If your roof was constructed between 1930 and 1970, there&rsquo;s a possibility that the shingles contain asbestos. If that&rsquo;s the case, you should hire a professional for repairs and replacement, as they&rsquo;ll have the necessary equipment to stay safe from such a hazardous and cancer-causing substance. If your home was constructed after this period, it&rsquo;s unlikely that the shingles in place are toxic. In most cases, asbestos shingles are not recyclable, while standard asphalt shingles are recyclable.</p></div>

Q: Is exterior paint toxic after it dries?

• <div><p>Exterior paint contains a higher level of VOCs, which can be dangerous if you&rsquo;re exposed to it for a long period of time. The good news is that paint&rsquo;s toxicity reduces significantly once fully dried and cured. Do not keep open exterior paint cans in your home, basement, or garage, exposing your household to harmful chemicals over time.</p></div>
