The task was to remove lead paint, prime and paint the siding, soffits, trims and front porch.
The process of removing lead paint is different than removing nonlead paint. The process consists of covering the floors and objects with plastic, wearing a suit, safety glasses and an N95 mask, spraying water on deteriorated paint before scraping, disposing the paint chips into contractors' bags and cleaning any paint chips left with an EPA-approved shop vac.
There was a lot of peeling paint on this one.
We went on to it, no corners were cut.
For the floor on the front porch, we used a Purdy extension pole and a Purdy scraper.
After the removal of the peeling paint, primer was applied.
Before the primer was applied we did make sure there were no paint chips or dust left.
Siliconized caulk was applied to the edges and open gaps. This one needed plenty of it.
Here are some photos of during the preparation process.

There was much more peeling paint to be scraped than what can be seen on the photos.
