EPA Lead Paint Rule: Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule

Lead Safe Certified Firm Residential construction companies who work on single and multi-family properties built before 1978 must register and certify their company and designated employees with the EPA. The EPA RRP Rule will be in full effect on 4.22.10. Failure to comply can result in significant fines. $37,500 can be levied against any firm doing work on these homes without having the proper registration and certifications on file with the EPA. This rule applies to remodelers, general contractors, handymen, window contractors, siding contractors, painting contractors, electricians, hvac contractors, roofers, restoration firms, masons, interior designers who perform work, and any trade that disturbs areas known to have lead paint on the interior or exterior of a pre-1978 property.

Godfrey Remodeling is registered with the EPA as a Certified Renovator and has completed the necessary EPA sanctioned training to ensure full compliance with the new law. Although the rule will inevitably increase the cost of doing some jobs, the responsibility of protecting clients from the harmful effects of lead dust is one we take seriously.
