Safety Guidelines
Follow EPA guidelines for lead paint removal and use appropriate PPE including respirator, gloves, and protective clothing. Contain work areas and dispose of paint debris responsibly. Speedheater's lower-temperature infrared technology helps reduce lead dust and fume risks when proper protocols are followed.
Best Practices for Quality Results
- Surface Preparation: After stripping to bare wood, sand and prime with quality products for optimal paint adhesion
- Address Issues First: Repair rotting wood, failing caulk, or drainage problems before finishing work
- Wood Conditioning: Oil-based primer on bare, older wood ensures proper bonding and moisture protection
- Application Method: Brush application works paint into wood grain for enhanced longevity

I've owned a 1910 Craftsman for six years and always struggled to find products that actually worked on old materials. My Old House Fix changed that. Everything here is sourced with historic homes in mind — not repurposed hardware store stuff. The Speed Heater alone saved my original windows. And the community? I've gotten better advice here than from any contractor I've hired.
