Challenge

One of the many challenges that can come up when working on an older home is the exposure to lead paint, as it is dangerous to work with, especially during removal. Luckily, Pacific Exteriors is licensed to safely remove and dispose of lead paint and materials, which will save you time and money. It is recommended to test for lead-based paint on any home built prior to 1978, so our customer's 1940's home was definitely at risk. 

Solution

Fortunately, our team came in and tested the exterior of the home in a variety of spots and found no evidence of lead paint, which is a relief and allowed us to hit the ground running on this remodel. We were able to come in and remove all of the previous siding materials and install James Hardie Color Plus Statement Collection to the majority of the home's exterior. To upgrade the overall aesthetic of the home, we installed James Hardie Board and Batten to the top 3 feet of the property, covered with James Hardie Plank panel. The final project provided a beautiful new exterior that will protect the home and health of the family for years to come.
