FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is it important to eliminate lead-based paints in my home?
Exposure to lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances requires the use of proper protective equipment, such as properly fitted respirator (NIOSH-approved) and proper containment and cleanup.
Are water based paints durable?
Water-based paints, which are also called latex paints, consist of a pigment and binder with water used as a carrier. They are the most common and environmentally responsible paint option. They provide great color retention over time, dry faster than alternatives, and produce fewer odors. And lastly, water-based paints can typically be used over existing oil-based paints—the reverse isn’t true.
Since water-based paints hold their color longer than alternatives, we recommend them for exterior walls that are exposed to the elements and interior walls that experience a lot of moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and mudrooms. Water-based paints come in a range of finishes.
