EPA Lead Safe Practices

Effective April 22, 2010 a new EPA law went into effect.  This law specifies that contractors must be certified and follow EPA Lead-Safe practices on homes built prior to 1978.  Following EPA Lead-Safe practices increases the installation cost.  The EPA Lead-Safe practices do not have to be followed if your home does not test positive for lead.   Although the testing requirement cutoff is 1978, most homes built after 1960 do not contain lead paint.
