Lead Safety & Containment

Protecting the home and its occupants is my first priority during historic window restoration.

Before beginning work, I establish a containment barrier to separate the work area from the interior living space and prevent potentially hazardous paint chips and dust from spreading throughout the home.

I also install protective plastic sheeting around the exterior work area, creating a controlled environment before beginning window disassembly.

An essential part of my process is the regular use of a HEPA-filtered vacuum. HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filtration is designed to capture at least 99.97% of airborne particles measuring 0.3 microns, helping control fine dust generated during restoration.

Throughout the project, I use the HEPA vacuum frequently to collect dust and debris as work progresses.

Once the restoration is complete, I carefully remove the containment materials and thoroughly clean the work area, including the window surfaces and surrounding areas, using appropriate cleaning methods.

The goal is simple: restore the windows while protecting the home and the people who live in it.
