I am working on fixing up an apartment for rent that is one side of a very old two family house in a shore community. The old trim is fairly intricate. Both it and the window sashes and trim have several layers of old paint and unquestionably, some of it is likely leaded.
My question is ... what is the tradeoff between economics and ease of resolving the problem.
My thought is either to pull off the trim and replace OR encapsulate the lead paint with the specialized product that paint stores sell ( a recommendation here would be useful .. I have a regular account at B. Moore distributor).
The size comparison is that of a small house ... about 1,000 square ft or so. 6+doors and 14-16 windows, plus floor trim.
Thanks in Advance!
