Franklin Painting LLC

We were specifically looking for an EPA-certified, lead-safe contractor to remove old lead paint from our house and repaint it. We asked for Franklin Painting's lead certification at the start of the job, which they emailed to us. The workers, however, left paint chips around our house and throughout our yard. They were not working in a way you would expect lead certified contractors to work, especially with clean-up at the end of each day. On the last day, as we were paying for the work, the painter gave us his business card and it was for another painting company. Franklin Painting subbed the job out without us knowing. When we followed up by email to ask them about it, they did not respond. We requested to see the lead certification for the company that actually painted our house and, of course, they did not respond. We tried to do this the right way and ended up with a lead hazard, feeling duped by a deceptive company. I would recommend staying away from them. It's frustrating how few contractors take lead issues seriously. We're looking at how we can report them to the EPA.
