Lead Paint Disclosure Statement And Renovation AgreementLead Paint Disclosure Statement and Renovation Agreement • May 5th, 2016
Federal law requires contractors follow certain renovation practices when performing work which will disturb painted surfaces that contain lead. The existence of lead paint depends largely on when the project was built. Houses built before 1978 have a large chance of containing lead-based paint that may flake, contaminate soil or produce lead dust during the renovation process. The existence of lead paint, verified by a licensed inspector who has thoroughly tested the property, must be handled by a contractor certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
