Questions

Is lead paint a problem?

Older windows often have lead paint, so we assume they do and work in a way that keeps dust to a minimum. We also use extraction equipment rated for lead-based paint when removing old paint.

Is the price fixed?

Yes. The quote is a fixed price for the work set out, so it won’t go up if the job takes longer. The only exception is hidden rot that can’t be seen until the window is opened up. If we find any, we’ll stop, show you, and price the extra work before doing anything.
