Before you hire
What should you check before hiring a painter in Ottawa?
Health Canada states that a home built before 1960 probably contains lead based paint, and that sanders and heat guns must not be used on it. That makes the age of the house a question worth settling before any preparation work starts. Ottawa Service Directory is a listings site, not a regulator: we publish what a business reports about itself, so confirm what applies to your job with the source below and with Cleary Grace Painting before work starts.
Source: Health Canada: lead-based paint. Checked 2026-08-24. Rules and thresholds change, so confirm before work starts.
