• Projects that disturb painted surfaces can create dust and endanger you and your family. Don’t let this happen to you!

Protecting you from lead — its the law!

In 2008, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a new rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act regarding “lead-based paint hazards created by renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb lead-based paint in housing and child-occupied facilities.” The rule, which has an effective date of April 2010, directly affects general and specialty contractors by requiring them to be certified if they are performing work on a targeted facility and to provide warnings to let people know of the hazards. The EPA has been warning of fines up to $32,000 per day for using contractors not certified in lead renovation.
