Homes built before 1980 may have lead-based paint, especially on trim, doors, and window frames. Professional painters test for lead before sanding or scraping, and use containment procedures if found. We follow Ontario safety guidelines and ensure proper preparation for a lasting, safe finish.

Plaster walls require different preparation than drywall — we fill cracks with flexible filler, skim-coat damaged areas, and use primers designed for plaster adhesion. Multiple thin coats of premium paint deliver the best results on these textured, character-rich surfaces.

Original wood trim in older homes — baseboards, crown molding, door casings — is often higher quality than modern replacements. Professional stripping, sanding, priming, and repainting preserves the character while refreshing the look. We only recommend replacement when wood is rotted or severely damaged.
