Q: How do you safely remove lead paint?

• <div><p>The safest way to remove lead-based paint is by letting a professional take over. For most people, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-cost-removing-lead-paint.htm">lead paint removal costs</a> an average of $3,400. You should never attempt to dry sand old lead-based paint surfaces by hand. Most professionals use a paint stripper to do the job followed by wet scraping, but if you don&rsquo;t want to remove lead paint, another option is to paint over it. Only consider this option if the old lead paint finish isn&rsquo;t flaking or cracked.</p></div>

Q: How should I get rid of hazardous waste?

• <div><p>The best disposal method for hazardous waste is to take it to a professional dumping facility that specializes in and accepts hazardous materials. These facilities will dispose of the materials in a way that is safe for both humans and the environment. If you don&rsquo;t have access to a nearby facility, the best way to get rid of hazardous waste is to call a professional garbage removal company who handles disposing of hazardous materials .</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>

Q: Do I have to remove lead-based paint?

• <div><p>If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.</p></div>

Q: How long does lead dust stay in the air?

• <div><p>When a surface that contains lead dust is disturbed, the dust can float about in the air for roughly an hour before settling again. Since you cannot see the dust, it is important always to wear protective gear when working with any materials that may contain lead paint and to keep children, pets, and others away from the area for as long as possible</p></div>

The removal went very well. Safely completed and no damage to the property other than minor damage to the grass when limbs were lowered to the ground. Cleanup was completed on the same day. I highly recommend Green Thumb Tree Care for your removal and trimming needs.
