Exterior scraping and painting question.

Aug 17, 2004 1 Replies

I'm getting bids for scraping and painting an older building with lead paint. Seems like the scraping should be done before pressure washing so that the bulk of the paint chips can be caught on a tarp or swept up, but the folks who bid on the job want to pressure wash first. Seesm like that would make a huge mess. Comments? Henry



pretend you are the painter. go out with a little scraper and start taking paint off. now get the hose and start spraying paint off. which do you want to do?
