Factors That Change Your Quote

Hamilton's older housing stock (many homes pre-1960) often has lead-based paint. If your home was built before 1978, discuss lead paint protocols with your painter before any sanding or stripping. Proper containment and HEPA vacuuming are required — not optional. Popcorn ceilings in pre-1980 homes may also contain asbestos and should be tested before disturbance.
