Because our local brick rowhouses are prone to trapping moisture behind their walls, ensure the company understands coatings that allow water vapor to escape (vapor-permeable coatings) to prevent freeze-thaw masonry damage. If your house predates 1978, always confirm that they carry active firm certification under the federal lead-safe painting rule (RRP—Renovation, Repair and Painting) administered directly in Pennsylvania by the EPA Region 3 office.
