Lead-Safe Painting & Renovation in Southern New Hampshire
Painting an older home takes extra care. Poe's Painting is a locally owned residential and commercial painting company serving Southern New Hampshire, and we bring careful preparation, protection and cleanup to lead paint renovation and older home painting projects.
Understanding Lead-Based Paint
Lead-based paint was commonly used in homes built before 1978, when it was banned for residential use. If you own an older New Hampshire home, there may be lead paint under newer layers, on trim, windows, doors, porches and exterior siding.
Lead paint in good condition that is left alone is generally less of a concern. Peeling, chipping, cracking and deteriorating surfaces deserve special attention, because sanding, scraping and demolition can create dust and paint chips. That is why lead-safe painting practices matter on older properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is lead paint a concern in older homes?
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. When that paint is peeling, chipping or disturbed during sanding and scraping, it can create dust and chips. Using lead-safe work practices helps reduce that risk.
What is the difference between lead-safe renovation and lead abatement?
Lead-safe renovation uses work practices that limit dust and contain debris while painting or renovating. Lead abatement is a separate, specialized process aimed at permanently eliminating lead hazards. Poe's Painting provides painting and renovation services, not lead abatement.
Can you work on homes built before 1978?
Yes. We paint and renovate older homes throughout Southern New Hampshire. Tell us the age of your property when you reach out so we can plan the preparation, protection and cleanup that fit your project.
