Lead Safety

We are happy to let you know that we can offer you lead-safe painting. In order to be certified, we had to go through training and then get licensed through the EPA. If you have lead on your home, make sure that you are only using a lead-safe certified contractor. Not only can the contractor be fined $37,000, but it puts your family in harm's way. There are special measures that we need to take in order to keep your family safe. This includes putting down 6 mil. plastic around your home, putting caution perimeters around the work area and wearing respirators and special protective clothing. In other words, it's serious! If you suspect that you may have lead on your home or notice an alligator-like cracking on the surface, please call us. We will be happy to offer you a lead test for a small fee. 

Renovate Right Brochure
