Are You Renovating a Home Built 1978 or Older?

If the area of the home to be renovated is “greater than 6 sq. ft. interior and 20 sq. ft. exterior” and was built in 1978 or earlier, a certified EPA contractor must be used if compensation is received by the renovator.,

There are new rules from EPA.

“EPA requires that firms performing renovation, repair, andpainting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools be certified by EPA and that they use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices.”
