🛠️ Planning a home renovation?
If your home was built before 1978, it’s important to take a few extra steps to keep your household safe.
Before you start, ask yourself:
✔️ Will this project disturb paint?
✔️ Could that paint contain lead?
✔️ Is my contractor EPA-certified to work with lead-based paint?
Lead exposure from paint is preventable with awareness and the right precautions. Whether you’re hiring a contractor or doing the work yourself, planning ahead and using approved methods makes all the difference.
