First and foremost if you home was built before 1978 make sure your contractor has the paint tested for lead. Second make sure your contractor is licensed to work on homes with lead paint, also know as RRP license.
All loose paint should be scraped, damage wood repaired or replaced, and all joints and holes filled with caulking. All new wood, exposed wood from scraping, and fill material need to be primed with a good primer. Peel bond is a great way to seal an entire home and is does a good job of filling small imperfections as it is a thick material.
Most contractors spray and back roll for consistent coverage. We recomend a minimum of 2 coats of a good house paint after proper perp work has been done.

Another day in the life of a contractor
I got up around 5:30 and worked on a bid that i had to get done today. I then went and installed grab bars in a tile shower for a great customer. Lunch time followed by two meetings with prospective customers. I really enjoy my job because I never know what I will be doing from one day to the next.

The Process
In my business I find it's tough wearing so many hats. One minute I am tearing out walls and the next minute I am sitting with customers working on custom design work. This is part of what I love about my job, there are new challenges daily along with new products and processes.
I am committed to continue learning and growing as a professional in my field. It is tough explaining how different companies are when some customers only wants to see the price. If I decided I would have no problem under cutting other bidders with many of he deceptive practices I see. However, t I have faith there are enough customers who understand the difference what we do and what others do to keep me in business.
