On a house built before 1978, replacing more than 20 square feet of painted fascia or trim falls under the EPA’s lead-safe rule, so ask whether the crew is certified.
82% of households own their home, and 56% of homes are detached houses, 23% townhouses. If an association maintains the exterior, the gutters may be its job rather than yours; check before calling.
