Homes built before 1978 require strict containment and wet-scraping methods under the federal lead-safe painting rule (RRP — Renovation, Repair and Painting) that applies to homes built before 1978. Using these lead-safe work practices prevents hazardous dust from contaminating the soil around Boston's dense residential multi-family neighborhoods.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Historic wood sash and trim restoration painting under architectural supervision. Neighborhoods like Back Bay and Beacon Hill require a historic-district board's sign-off on the exterior color and finish (a certificate of appropriateness) before any brush touches the wood. Professional crews restore these highly visible details using specialized waterborne-alkyd enamels that protect the traditional timber against freezing marine winds.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Interior plaster preservation and wall painting. Plaster-and-lath walls inside historic homes frequently crack due to seasonal shifting, requiring careful patching and structural reinforcement.

For any house built before 1978, the company must also hold a current Lead-Safe Renovation Contractor license issued by the Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards (DLS). Homeowners should confirm these credentials and check for comprehensive liability insurance to protect against accidental damage.
