How do I deal with LEAD PAINT?

[Dakota Ochoa]

Hello! I’m looking for some insight on lead paint. From what I understand, as long as it’s not peeling, you can just paint over it. I just want to verify that this statement is correct with people who have encountered it. And if it is peeling, about how much does it usually costs to scrape and repaint the entire interior of a 1000-1500 sq ft home? I know how serious lead paint is and that it’s really expensive to deal with, so I’ll probably only go into a situation with possible lead paint if nothing is peeling. (That is if the statement I made above is true) Thank you in advance for any insight on this!

@Dakota Ochoa You might try Peel Stop primer if painting potentially lbp. You have signed a disclosure saying you recived a gov. pamphlet entitled “ “your family and lead based paint.” It is on the Internet. Read it. Basically do not sand or disturb interior lbp. Seal and paint over. Above all do not get the dust in your hvac vents and breath it daily for years.
