FHA Lead Based Paint Concerns ?

[ZZGAMAZZ]

Do the standards apply to chipped/peeling exterior stucco as well as wood surfaces. I'm somewhat familiar with the way that colors are added to stucco in today's market because the stucco is sprayed on to the exterior, but I don't know if lead might affect a 1964-built SFR that displays mucho chipped materials from the exterior. Thanks peers.

only if there was previous old lead paint on it. if not sure, depending on how large an area, chipped paint is not attractive look. stucco has no paint in it, they just add a color. but i do see stucco painted. wood is always painted. but newer treated wood with chipped non lead paint doesn't need painting. pine does, or it will dry rot from the rain.

i was doing an appraisal, and it was pouring rain. i have a big golf umbrella to keep me dry when outside. unfortunately, the umbrella and rain made me miss the peeling paint on the patio cover. but a year later the HUD reviewer caught it. had to take a class. and also had to change my pants after getting the certified letter from HUD. i also think they use magnifying glass on photos.

1978 is your threshold. So yes it needs fixed on 1974.

the peeling paint i missed was after 1978, but i missed writing my innocent statement by not seeing it in the rain. and never argue with a HUD reviewer, their stick is bigger than your stick.

I received a similar HUD letter last year that cited four problems with a report. Two that were totally bogus because they apparently pertained to a differet subject property were immediately removed by HUD in response to my rebuttal. The remaining two: incorrect verbiage on the Intended User statement, and one of nine comp photos was an internet download. The follow-up call from HUD was one of the most invigorating and helpful conversation I have experienced in a decade--wonderful, engaging, knowledgeable fellow whose supportive perspective enhanced my career in my humble opinion.

Don't play with it on 1978 or earlier. You don't know how many layers of paint are on there. When I go back, I don't want paint chips all around the house on the ground either.

I have had to do 2 finals before because all the paint chips were laying around the house.

home owner painting will leave paint chips. a while ago real painters had to be lead certified, to avoid the mess after done. but, we know that a handyman ain't lead certified.
and you can tell how many paint layers are on newer wood. also, newer pine has a diifferent look than old pine. most paint issues here are the exterior wood trim on windows. the infamous dark green color means realage. when i was a kid, there was very limited color choice.

I think this one is stucco. It doesn't matter though. I would recommend professional contractor inspect the stucco too. The paint would be required. The professional contractor on Stucco would be recommended. The appraisal would be "subject to" on the paint. I have grandkids very young. They may think this looks good. I'll eat it.
