Daly City is in San Mateo County, just south of San Francisco. Many of its homes are decades old, and some were built before 1978, which is the key date for lead-based paint in housing.
The usual checks apply: look at the build year, then at the condition of paint on windows, doors, trim and porches. If paint is peeling, keep children and pets away from it and wet-wipe instead of dry sweeping.
Check the contractor's license at cslb.ca.gov and ask which CDPH lead certification applies. Send a request and we will refer you to a CSLB-licensed pro who works in Daly City.
Local tips
- Check the build year in county records.
