EPA & Lead Based Paint Regulations for Window & Door Contractors
IS YOUR CONTRACTOR CERTIFIED??? Important regulations that affect ALL remodelers and something you should know about! Effective on April 22, 2010 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requiring all remodelers that conduct Lead-based paint activities and/or renovations to become certified. This includes window and door contractors. Classes and training is required for any contractor that will or has potential to disturb lead based paint in pre-1978 housing. This also includes child-occupied facitlities (where children are under 6 years old) and including pregnant women who are present on a regular basis in the home.
What does this mean for YOU? Make sure any contractor you hire to replace your windows & doors are certified. Our installers and Tom have all taken the required courses and can answer any questions you may have.
