How the call goes

3 surface rules tied to missing field definitions. Urgent first.

1

Ask if the home was built before 1978 — lead paint requires EPA RRP-certified work.

urgent

Do you know if the home was built before 1978? Pre-1978 homes may have lead paint, which requires special handling.

Field: Pre-1978 home (lead paint concern)

2

Clarify interior vs. exterior — different crews, prep, and weather dependencies.

important

Are you looking at interior painting, exterior, or both?

Field: Interior, exterior, or both

3

Ask about surface condition — peeling, cracking, or water damage drives prep work scope.

important

How's the current surface — is the paint in decent shape, or is there peeling, cracking, or water damage?

Field: Surface condition (peeling, cracking, water damage, clean)
