Questions
Painting in Hopkins: common questions.

How far is Hopkins from your shop?
Our shop is on W Lake Street in Minneapolis, a short drive east of Hopkins.
My home was built before 1978. Does that change anything?
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Federal EPA rules require lead-safe work practices when painted surfaces in these homes are disturbed, so we discuss the age of the home before any scraping or sanding begins.
