HOMEOWNERS – if your home was built before 1978…
Arielliana on Mar 17th 2010
BEFORE YOU START TO RENOVATE – BE SURE YOUR CONTACTOR IS “LEAD CERTIFIED” it’s Federal law!
As of April 2010 Federal law requires that homeowners receive an EPA lead pamphlet before renovating six square feet or more of painted surfaces in a room for interior projects or more than twenty square feet of painted surfaces for exterior projects in your home, if it was built before 1978.
Ask your contractor for a copy of his “Lead Certification” certificate prior your home renovation. AND, be sure to have your contractor give you the brochure on Lead safe practices.
