The Strata Lead-Safe Process
Everything You Need to Know About Lead–Safe Painting
-
If your home was built before 1978, there’s a high chance it contains lead-based paint. The only way to confirm is through professional testing or by working with an EPA Lead-Safe Certified painting company in Seattle like Strata Coating. We help homeowners throughout Washington identify risks and plan safe solutions.
-
We follow strict EPA-certified lead-safe painting procedures:
Containment to prevent dust from spreading
Specialized sanding and removal techniques
HEPA-filtered vacuums and cleaning methods
Safe disposal of all debris
This ensures your family, pets, and home remain fully protected during the project.
-
In some cases, especially with large-scale interior painting, we may recommend temporary relocation from the work area. For exterior projects, containment keeps your environment safe, and you can often stay home. We’ll guide you through the safest option for your specific Seattle-area project.
-
Lead-safe projects involve additional preparation, cleanup, and certified equipment. While this may slightly increase cost, the investment protects your family’s health, ensures EPA compliance, and safeguards your property’s long-term value. Cutting corners with uncertified contractors often leads to higher risks, unexpected costs, or even fines.
-
Hiring uncertified painters can result in unsafe exposure to toxic dust, damage to your home, and violations of federal lead regulations. With Strata Coating, you get full compliance, documented processes, and peace of mind knowing your project is safe and legal in Washington State.
-
Many historic neighborhoods in Seattle—such as Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, Ballard, and Beacon Hill—are filled with homes built before 1978. These properties often contain layers of lead-based paint hidden beneath newer coats. Without EPA Lead-Safe Certified practices, sanding or scraping can release toxic dust that puts families, children, and pets at risk. Strata Coating specializes in lead-safe painting for older Seattle homes, preserving your property’s charm while ensuring complete safety and compliance.
