Cedar Park Lead Paint Removal handles exterior lead paint removal on Cedar Park homes built before 1978: fascia and soffits at the roof edge, wood trim around windows and doors, painted siding, and porch columns and railings. For each component the choice is whether to strip the paint, replace the piece or seal paint that is still sound, and the answer differs between a rotted fascia board and an intact window casing.
Outdoor work brings its own containment and weather questions, which we plan around before the first scraper comes out. We do exterior projects in Cedar Park, Leander and Lakeway.
The boards along the roof edge of a 1960s or 1970s house sit high, take afternoon sun and are hard to inspect from the ground. Chips falling from them land on roofs, in gutters and in the beds below, so the ground cover and the scaffold or lift are set up together. Where a fascia board has rotted, replacing it can make more sense than stripping it; the old board is wrapped and hauled away as lead-painted debris.
Painted wood trim and wood siding are where exterior lead paint can remain on a pre-1978 house, although homes of that era clad in brick or stone have less painted surface to deal with. Removal is wet scraping and hand work, with power sanding only through shrouded, contained equipment; open-flame burning is banned. Sound siding with light wear may suit encapsulation and a fresh topcoat instead.
Porch railings and steps get handled, leaned on and rubbed, so their paint can wear through sooner than a wall’s, and balusters have edges and turned profiles that need patient hand work. Keep children off the porch and out of the yard below until the work and the cleanup check are finished. Replacing a run of deteriorated balusters with new stock can be simpler than stripping each one.
A painted shed, garage or wood fence on an older lot may be as old as the house. These can be tested and treated with the same containment and cleanup as the home itself, with sheeting around the base and debris collected rather than left in the grass. Barns and agricultural buildings on larger tracts are outside our residential scope.
The nearest long-term weather normals come from Austin’s Camp Mabry station, roughly 15 miles from Cedar Park rather than in it. Its 1991–2020 normals show highs of 90°F or more on about 123 days a year, 29 of them at 100°F. For lead work that means crews in protective clothing starting early, plastic ground cover weighted against wind, and attention to the temperature limits that coating makers set for primers and encapsulants. In the cooler months, fewer working hours are lost to heat.
If the aim is to get the lead off the house for good, the exterior job is abatement: it takes a DSHS-certified abatement firm, which must notify DSHS at least seven working days before starting. If paint is being disturbed for another reason, such as repainting or replacing trim, EPA’s RRP rule applies instead, and exterior work disturbing 20 square feet or less is exempt as a minor repair. Under RRP, plastic or other impermeable sheeting covers the ground at least 10 feet beyond the surfaces being worked on, or farther if that is what it takes to catch falling debris, and a certified renovator checks the ground and sills for debris when the work is done.
Sound paint that does not need to come off can be sealed instead; see lead paint encapsulation and enclosure. If chips have already reached the yard or been tracked inside, lead dust cleanup and clearance testing deals with that. The full list of services is on the Cedar Park Lead Paint Removal home page.
List the surfaces involved (fascia, trim, siding, porch or outbuildings), their condition, roughly how high they are, and the year the house was built. Include the address. We'll get back to you soon with an estimate or any questions we have. Estimates are free and there's no obligation.
