 Older homes are a specialty. Check with homes near by and ask neighbors. If neighbors have have had a good experience often they will be willing to share a phone number.

 Be sure that the contractor you hire is certified to work with pre 1978 homes. The OSHA and EPA certifications or RRP guidelines (Restoration, Renovation, Paint standards)  must be followed to protect employees and the general public from the harmful effects of lead paint products. Good Luck!

Where is your historical home located?  Any reputable paint supplier should be able to recommend licensed, reputable painters.  We prefer Aboff's Paints or Sherwin Williams Paints.  If you are on Long Island check our out website www.lwwinslowpaintinging.com
