The reason for this is that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the use of lead paint in 1978 because it was recognized to present health hazards – including anemia and impairment to the brain and nervous system in adults as well as developmental and behavioral disorders in children.
Homeowners are required to hire a contractor that is licensed and has documentation to conduct the inspection of the home for lead paint and provide lead-safe renovation. SFW Painting has accredited lead-safe renovators who adhere to the EPA and OSHA guidelines on safe lead paint removal procedures. Removing lead paint from an old home is a large and comprehensive task requiring significant execution of lead-safe removal strategies.
