Exterior paint in Stockton
Thinking about painting your Stockton house yourself? The lead rules treat you differently when you do. EPA says its renovation, repair and painting rule generally doesn't apply to homeowners working on their own pre-1978 home. It does apply if you rent out all or part of the house, or if you're buying, fixing and selling homes for profit.
The exemption doesn't make old paint any safer. EPA still urges do-it-yourselfers to use lead-safe work practices to protect their families. Plenty of local houses are old enough for that to matter: one home in five here goes back before 1960, and about 42% before 1980.
The other side of town is new. About three in ten homes were built after 1999, well clear of the 1978 line, so on those the lead rules don't come into it.
Weather is easy to plan around. Nearly all of the year's rain, roughly 14 inches, falls from October through April, and July highs run about 94°F. A spring or early-fall job avoids both the wet months and the hottest weeks.
If you take on an older house yourself, give the dust the same respect a certified crew would.
