Presto Painting -LSR Lead Certified Paint Contractor

Presto Painting: Leading the Way in Safe and Certified Lead Paint HandlingPresto Painting has established itself as a premier painting contractor since 1988, with a strong commitment to safety and quality. One of their most significant credentials is their status as an LSR Lead Certified Paint Contractor, demonstrating their dedication to protecting clients and the environment from the hazards of lead-based paint.

Understanding Lead-Safe Renovation (LSR) Certification

LSR certification is a crucial qualification for painting contractors working on homes built before 1978, when lead-based paint was commonly used. This certification, mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ensures that contractors are trained to handle lead-based paint safely and effectively.

Why LSR Certification Matters

1. Health Protection: Lead exposure can cause serious health issues, especially in children and pregnant women.
2. Legal Compliance: It’s illegal for non-certified contractors to work on pre-1978 homes where lead paint may be present.
3. Environmental Safety: Proper handling of lead paint prevents environmental contamination.

Presto Painting’s Approach to Lead-Safe Practices

As an LSR Lead Certified Paint Contractor, Presto Painting employs several key strategies:

1. Thorough Inspection and Testing

Before beginning any project on older homes, Presto Painting conducts comprehensive inspections to identify potential lead hazards. They use EPA-approved testing methods to detect the presence of lead-based paint.

When working with lead paint, Presto Painting implements strict containment protocols:

• Sealing off work areas with plastic sheeting
• Using HEPA vacuums to capture dust and debris

Lead-contaminated materials are disposed of according to EPA guidelines, ensuring that hazardous waste doesn’t enter the regular waste stream.
