LEAD PAINT STABILIZATION
Lead-based paint was used because of its durability and fast drying — that was before we knew of its dangers. As lead paint ages and begins to deteriorate it can easily become chips and dust and can spread and contaminate your home, inside and out – and pose serious health risks to the home’s residents — especially children and pregnant women, and beloved pets.
Imhoff Fine Residential Painting is an EPA certified lead paint renovator. If your home has lead paint, we’ll professionally address the issue while preventing lead dust from contaminating your house and grounds. Proper precautions for making your home safe, protecting our workers from bringing it home to their families, and delivering a great experience along with a great quality paint or wood finish is the value you’ll get when you hire us to renovate your home.
MILLWORK RESURFACING AND REPAIR
Over the years, a home’s millwork begins to suffer wear and tear. Sand, salt, mops, cleaning machines, water damage, and other things scratch up and wear down the millwork. And if you’ve found yourself wondering if you should skim coat your ceiling,we’re here to help with that too.
At Imhoff Painting, we can breathe new life into your home by fixing up the millwork. We’ll resurface and repair any millwork in your home quickly and thoroughly with minimal disruption to your daily life.
wood & cabinet refinishing
Completely replacing your cabinets would work well to fix any broken or water damaged cabinetry and make your home’s interior look like new, but it would ruin the historic charm of the interior. Instead, we can refinish your cabinets to give them a refresh without losing the important historic character they possess — all for a lower cost than replacements.
Refinishing won’t just make your historic cabinets look brand new — it’ll also make them last longer. The coats on cabinets that are chipping can begin to degrade, which can cause the wood to warp or rot. But when we give your cabinets a refinish, you can maintain your cabinets for the long-term.
at imhoff painting, we can do that for you.

Our professional painters plan each painting project to preserve historic integrity while delivering a durable paint job. See our approach on Historic Home Restoration and browse completed projects in the Portfolio.
Historic house painting: How do you balance restoration and a fresh coat of new paint?
We start with careful prep work—addressing peeling and loose paint, cleaning dirt, and repairing plaster cracks—then specify compatible materials so the fresh coat adheres and the historical integrity is protected. For interiors, see Interior Painting; for the exterior envelope, visit Exterior Painting.

Assessment, documentation, and a written plan come first.

Historic preservation: How do you handle lead paint and fragile surfaces?
Many historical home surfaces include lead based paint. Our professional painters use containment, safe removal methods, and compatible primers to protect the property and occupants while we restore walls, trim, and exterior substrates. Learn about envelope care under Exterior Painting and interior substrate repair via Drywall Repair & Light Carpentry.
Door painting: Do you restore original doors and door hardware?
Yes—door painting often includes rehanging, surface patching, and finish restoration. Where possible we preserve original millwork and craft details; when components are beyond repair, we help match profiles sensitively. See related Interior Painting for whole-room coordination.
Historic restoration: Can you repair plaster cracks and prep original walls?
Absolutely. We stabilize substrate, address plaster cracks, fill losses, and prime to create a sound base before finish coats—essential prep work for a durable paint job. Explore our surface repair capabilities in Drywall Repair & Light Carpentry.
Historic home restoration: Do you work on windows and trim?
We routinely service original windows—including sash adjustments, glazing touch-ups, and weathered trim. We can also replace frayed or damaged screens and stabilize joinery prior to finishing to help maintain historic integrity. See our exterior scope on Exterior Painting.
Fresh coat: Which paint colors work best on a Victorian or early 20th-century house?
We help clients select historically appropriate palettes for victorian and period styles, or choose updated schemes that still respect the home’s history. Ask about color guidance with our Free Estimate, and see examples in the Portfolio.
Historic home painting: How do you prepare exteriors that have peeling or loose paint?
We remove loose paint, feather edges, spot-prime, and rebuild compromised areas using compatible materials. Depending on conditions, we may recommend sectional renovation to phase the job efficiently while protecting the house. Learn how this integrates with our Exterior Painting process.
Historic house: Can you coordinate interior updates with exterior preservation?
Yes—many projects combine interior refresh (ceilings, trim, and walls) with envelope preservation. We sequence tasks to reduce disruption and keep the project on time. See Interior Painting for room-by-room options and Ceiling Painting for full-room finishes.
