EPA Lead-Safe Certified Painting for Pre-1978 Homes

Pre-1978 homes legally require a Lead-Safe certified firm whenever work disturbs old paint. We are EPA Lead-Safe and RRP certified, and we do it right: tested, contained, and cleaned up to federal standard.

EPA Lead-Safe certified painting at a glance

Hedlund Painting is EPA Lead-Safe and RRP certified to renovate, repair, and paint pre-1978 homes across the Greater Seattle area. Federal law requires a Lead-Safe certified firm whenever work disturbs lead paint in older homes. We test, contain the work area, control dust, and clean up to EPA standards, protecting your family and home. Free written estimates, licensed, bonded, and insured.

The Credential

EPA Lead-Safe Certified. Not a claim, a federal credential.

This is the page the rest of our site points to, because it is the difference between a painter who says they are careful and a firm the federal government has actually certified. Hedlund Painting is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified firm and RRP certified (Renovation, Repair, and Painting). That means our company is registered with the EPA and our crews are trained in the lead-safe work practices the law requires on older homes. We carry the certification, we follow the practices, and we back the finished work with a 10-year workmanship warranty.

EPA Lead-Safe Certified

Safe, RRP-compliant practices for homes built before 1978, registered with the EPA.

10-Year Workmanship Warranty

We back the finished work with a 10-year workmanship warranty on every older-home project.

Lead Paint Testing

How to tell if your older home has lead paint.

If your home was built before 1978, assume it has lead-based paint until a test says otherwise. Lead paint was used in millions of American homes until the federal ban took effect that year, and it is often hiding under newer coats where you cannot see it. The risk is not the intact paint on the wall. The risk is the dust created when that paint is sanded, scraped, or disturbed during a repaint or repair.

Windows

Window sashes, sills, and jambs, high-friction surfaces that shed dust.

Doors & trim

Door frames, doors, and trim throughout an older home.

Exterior siding

Exterior siding, soffits, and fascia on pre-1978 homes.

Stairs & porches

Stair railings, banisters, and porches that see heavy use.

Baseboards & woodwork

Baseboards and original interior woodwork hold older coats of paint.

Confirmed by testing

A certified test confirms whether lead is present before any work disturbs the paint.

A certified test confirms whether lead is present. On pre-1978 homes, we assess lead risk as part of the estimate and follow certified testing and containment practices before any work disturbs the paint. You do not have to figure this out on your own. That is what the certification is for.

The Law

Federal law requires a Lead-Safe certified firm. Here is why it matters.

The EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rule is a federal regulation. It requires that any firm performing work that disturbs paint in pre-1978 housing, child-care facilities, and schools be EPA Lead-Safe certified and follow lead-safe work practices. This is not optional and it is not a formality.

Hire the credential, not the low bid.

A painter who is not certified, or who skips the containment steps to save time, is breaking federal law and putting lead dust into the home where your family lives. The fines are real. The health risk to children is worse.

We are certified, our crews are trained, and we follow the practices on every older-home project. That is the entire point of this page.

Painting Over Lead Paint

Can you paint over lead paint? Often yes, the right way.

You do not always have to remove lead paint. In many cases the safest and most practical approach is to encapsulate it, sealing sound, intact lead paint under new coatings so it is no longer exposed or shedding. Done with proper prep and containment, this is a recognized, accepted method.

When painting over is the right call

The existing lead paint is sound and well-adhered, not flaking or peeling. The surface can be cleaned and prepped without aggressive sanding, and a quality coating system can be applied and maintained over it.

What we never do

Dry-sand or open-scrape lead paint without certified containment, disturb lead paint and leave dust behind, or cut corners on prep or cleanup to hit a lower price.

If the paint is failing and removal is the right answer, we do that under certified controls too. The method follows the surface and the situation, not a shortcut.

Our Process

How we contain lead dust, step by step.

Our full project process runs 14 steps from first contact to final walkthrough. On pre-1978 homes, the lead-safe controls below are built into that process, not added as an afterthought. Our superintendents (Alan Donnelly, Vincent Doolittle, and Micah Boots) and project managers (Greg Simonson and Rusty Jones) own the work on site.

Get a free estimate
1

Assess and test

On older homes we assess lead risk during the estimate and follow certified testing practices before disturbing any paint.

2

Isolate the work area

We contain the area so dust cannot travel into the rest of your home or your yard.

3

Control and capture dust

We use lead-safe work practices to keep dust generation down and capture what is created.

4

HEPA cleanup

We clean the work area to EPA standards using HEPA methods, not a broom and a shop vac.

5

Verify before we finish

We confirm the area is clean before the project closes, protecting your family, pets, and home.

6

Walk it with you

A superintendent walks the finished project with you for final quality control and approval, the same as every Hedlund job.

Where This Applies

Older-home work where Lead-Safe certification matters.

View all services

Lead-safe practices apply across our services any time we work on a pre-1978 home. If you own an older home in the Seattle area, this credential protects you on every one of these, including interior painting, exterior siding and trim, residential repaints, and carpentry and wood repair.

FAQ

Lead paint and certification questions.

Still have a question about your project? We are happy to help, just reach out.

Contact us
How do I know if my house has lead paint?
Homes built before 1978 likely contain lead-based paint, often under newer coats. A certified test confirms it. On older homes, we assess lead risk as part of the estimate and follow certified practices before any work disturbs the paint.
Do I legally need a Lead-Safe certified painter?
Yes. The EPA RRP rule requires a Lead-Safe certified firm to perform work that disturbs paint in pre-1978 homes, child-care facilities, and schools. Hedlund Painting is an EPA Lead-Safe and RRP certified firm.
Is it safe to paint over lead paint?
Often, yes. Encapsulating sound, intact lead paint under new coatings is a recognized method when done with proper prep and containment. We never sand or disturb lead paint without certified controls in place.
What is the EPA RRP rule?
The Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule is a federal regulation requiring certified firms and lead-safe work practices when renovating, repairing, or painting pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities. It is the law older-home owners need their painter to follow.
How do you contain lead dust?
We isolate the work area, control and capture dust, clean with HEPA methods, and verify the area is clean before we finish. The goal is to protect your family, pets, and home to EPA standards throughout the project.
What does EPA Lead-Safe Certified mean?
It means our firm is EPA-certified and our crews are trained in the lead-safe work practices federal law requires on older homes. It is a legal and safety standard, not a marketing label.
Can you test my home for lead paint?
We assess lead risk on pre-1978 homes during the estimate and follow certified testing and containment practices for any work that disturbs paint, so the right controls are in place before we begin.
