Reply to comment by civex in Bought house and old paint comes off with barely a scratch. How to prep for a new paint? by Cychotical

1981 house in the US. I did check several layers of paint for lead in a different room and no issues. But I can check the specific rooms with this issue later.

If it’s 1981 you’re probably good and it’s actually pretty evident whether it’s lead by cracking patterns (I’ve done a lot of abatement projects).

That being said, trust but verify and always check places like basements, etc.

Cheaper to get it done whilst you have your contractor there already
