EPA Lead paint regulations

The new lead paint laws are set to go into affect Apr 22. The EPA has determined the year 1978 to be significant, because, prior to that date, paint manufactures were using lead additives in the pigment of their paints. While the lead paint additive presented no heath risk in its application at the time, in present day, it has posed a potential heath risk, particularly in the remodeling business. H.A. construction has all the EPA certification and training required to test for lead paint and safely remove and dispose of it. Give me a call if you have any questions about the new regulation or if you are considering a remodeling project!
