Prep work in DFW
Lead-Based Paint Testing in Dallas-Fort Worth
Homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint under the newer coats. Sanding or scraping that paint without precautions spreads lead dust. State 28 is lead-certified and tests before work on older surfaces, then recommends a lead-safe plan if lead is found.
TODO: Confirm which tests State 28 performs in-house (XRF, chip, dust wipe, soil) and the certification numbers. Risk assessments may require an EPA-certified risk assessor.

Reviews
Real feedback from State 28 customers
After another paint company cancelled at the last minute, State 28 responded the day I asked for a quote and came in and did the work within days. Good price and quickly finished. I'll never use another paint company again.
State 28 surpassed our expectations! Our home looks new & fresh. They took great care to protect floors & unpainted areas. Will use them again!
We had the entire house painted. The crew were professional, detail oriented and did a great job.
This is the best company I have ever done business and highly recommend them for all your painting needs. Connor and TJ are the most conscientious, knowledgeable, patient, thorough, trustworthy, communicative people I have ever worked with.

Questions, answered
Before your lead-based paint testing project.
Why test for lead-based paint?
Lead paint can be hazardous, especially in older homes. Testing shows where the risk is before anyone disturbs the paint.
How is the testing done?
We use EPA-recognized methods such as XRF analysis or paint chip sampling.
What happens if lead is found?
We recommend safe removal or encapsulation and follow lead-safe practices during the work.
