Commercial Building Painted in Orinda, CA
We recently painted this commercial building in downtown Orinda. The property owner’s motivation was to have his property protected and to freshen up the overall look. At Signature Painting, we specialize in painting commercial buildings, HOAs, and apartment complexes so we understand the communication that is necessary to deliver a quality job with as little disruption to the tenants as possible. In order to accomplish this we performed some of the work on the weekend while the Mechanics Bank and office buildings were closed. We also made sure all of the tenants were notified prior to working on their units. In the end the property is protected and will look great for the years to come.

Apartment Complex Recently Painted in Lafayette, CA
1011 Brown Ave in Lafayette, CA
We recently painted this apartment complex located at 1011 Brown Ave in Lafayette, CA. This property was recently purchased by an investor located on the East Coast, and his goal with the property was to make the necessary improvements to give his tenants a great place to live. All of the stucco and wood surfaces were prepped as necessary to prepare the areas for painting. We also built a new perimeter fence that ended up looking really good. New modern colors were chosen, and all together the place looks great!

We Love Victorians!
Alameda, California is well known for its maritime history, a history which has produced some of the most beautiful old homes imaginable. The island in the Bay is full of century old wooden homes, built by master craftsmen, many of whom were also ship builders. Being a painting contractor in the Bay Area allows Signature Painting to take on projects that many contractors in other places dream of. The restoration we are currently doing on this 1892 Victorian home is a major undertaking, but just the type of project that we really enjoy doing. A project like this takes meticulous preparation to ready the aging wood surfaces for paint, we’re looking forward to keeping you posted on our progress. Check back next week to see the progress Signature Painting has made on this beautiful Alameda Victorian home.

New Lead Regulations, Beware!!!
Living in the Bay Area, lead paint on older homes is a common issue for many homeowners and contractors. Recently the EPA released new guidelines for lead abatement which increase the paramaters as well as the fines, for dealing with lead paint abatement. The new lead laws went into effect on April 22nd, 2010, so make sure you are dealing with a contractor who is certified by the EPA under the new codes. Some of the guidelines for dealing with lead paint include:
- Work must be completed by a contractor who has been certified by an accredited program under new EPA lead laws, which went in to effect on 4/22/2010.
- All surfaces not being worked on must be covered with 6 mil plastic every morning, this includes floors, walls, partition walls, doorways, windows and any other applicable surfaces. Plastic must be removed at the end of each workday and taken to a certified Haz-Mat dump.
- Workers must wear full body Haz-Mat suits, gloves, booties and respirators. Suits, gloves, booties and respirator filters must be contained and properly disposed of at the end of each work day (taken to Haz-Mat dump with plastic mentioned above)
- All surfaces must be cleaned with HEPA vacuum followed by a thorough mopping to remove all dust that may contain lead particles. This must be done on a daily basis whenever scraping or sanding is done.
For a full outline of the new regulations, visit the EPA website, and next time you hire a painting contractor, be sure they are certified under the new laws. Signature Painting is the Bay Area’s premier residential and commercial painting company and is certified and in compliance with all current EPA regulations.
