Exterior paint in Palm Bay
The Palm Bay metro has an odd housing record: the 1960s built more homes here than the 1970s did. About 40,000 homes date from the '60s, 31,000 from the '70s and nearly 18,000 from the '50s. Most of those predate 1978, when the federal government banned lead-based paint for homes.
That changes how old paint comes off. Under EPA's rule, a paid painter working on a pre-1978 home must be certified and trained in lead-safe work, which means more setup and more cleanup than a quick scrape. On a mid-century house where the trim has been painted over many times, that's real time.
Out on the barrier island, salt spray adds its own wear to trim, railings and anything made of metal, so beachside houses deserve a closer look at those parts before the bid is written.
The metro's busiest building decade came later. The 1980s added about 73,000 homes, all built after the ban, so on those, lead-safe rules aren't part of the job.
