Exterior paint in Greensboro
North Carolina runs its own lead program for paid painting work, and that changes the paperwork on an older Greensboro house. The state requires certification and permits for paid renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in housing built before 1978. The Health Hazards Control Unit in the state health department certifies the people and firms who do that work. Full lead removal, called abatement, takes a separate certification.
So before a crew starts scraping, ask whether they hold North Carolina certification and whether your job needs a state permit. Plenty of houses here are old enough for it; four in ten across the metro are from before 1980.
The weather gives you long shoulder seasons. Frost at Piedmont Triad International usually wraps up by the end of March and stays away until early November, which leaves weeks of mild spring and fall days. Morning dew is the thing to watch then. After a cool, clear night, siding can stay wet well into the morning, and paint brushed over damp wood won't hold.
