You are planning a renovation. Maybe you want to open up a wall, refinish some floors, update the kitchen cabinets, or finally gut that old bathroom. It is exciting until someone mentions lead paint. If your Vancouver home was built before 1990, there is a very real chance it contains lead-based paint somewhere inside it. And disturbing lead paint without the right precautions does not just mess up your renovation it can create a serious, lasting health hazard for your family
