RRP Update

The new RRP Rule went into effect on April 22nd, 2010, are you concerned about whether it applies to you? Let us help you avoid a $37,500 fine! If you are performing even common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition on a pre-1978 home, you will need to either treat all areas as if they contain lead-based paint and dispose of it accordingly or have an inspection to determine if lead exists.

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

The only way to know if you are going disturb lead-based paint it to have it tested, request a quote today!
