Recently, the presence of lead paint in homes built before 1978 has been found to be a health hazard. We were one of the first companies to become a Lead-Safe Certified Firm. Beginning on April 22 of 2010 all work done by contractors on homes built before 1978 must be EPA certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
