Was Your Home Built Before 1978?

Fortunately, now that the dangers of latent lead-based paint have become public knowledge, the government is actively involved in creating stringent regulations that govern the renovation of older homes containing this substance.

While lead-safe work practices require an lead-safe contractor, additional labor, and materials, certified contractors will ensure that lead-based paint debris is removed and handled in a way that is safe to your home and family, as well as themselves.
