If your home was built before 1978, you may have heard about things like lead paint or asbestos—and it can sound overwhelming fast. This is very common, very manageable, and handled safely every day by professionals.
At MLC Remodels, we work in older homes all the time. Our job is to make the process feel simple, safe, and completely under control—so you can focus on the exciting part: your renovation.
Homes built before 1978 may contain materials like lead-based paint or asbestos. That doesn’t mean your home is dangerous—it just means there are laws that we must follow when remodeling.
How MLC Remodels Handles Everything (So You Don’t Have To)
When you work with MLC, you’re not expected to figure any of this out on your own. We guide the entire process from start to finish.
We Assess Your Home First
We look at the age of your home and the scope of your project to determine if anything needs to be addressed before work begins.
We Handle Testing If Needed
If testing is recommended, we coordinate it with trusted professionals. In many cases, testing simply gives us clarity so we can move forward confidently.
We Follow All Proper Safety Practices
If your home requires specific procedures, we take care of it—completely behind the scenes.
That includes:
- Keeping work areas contained and clean
- Using proper tools and techniques
- Following all required safety guidelines
