Unfortunately young children are attracted to pealing lead paint because is has a sweet taste.  But once ingested, there is nothing sweet about the side effects of overdose.  The Center of Disease Control (CDC) and the US EPA are great sources of information regarding the hazards of lead.

On June 1, 1999, EPA's final rule took effect that provides consumers with information about lead-based paint hazards during renovation or remodeling activities.  This rule requires renovators to give homeowners and tenants a pamphlet containing information on how to protect their families from lead hazards before beginning renovation activities which disturb more than two square feet of paint in pre-1978 housing.  It is estimated that 80 percent of all residential dwellings built before 1978 contain some lead-based paint.

Our staff is trained in Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards, which is the accepted method and protocol utilized when dealing with lead based paint inspections.  We have state of Michigan certified inspectors and risk assessors to complete your lead projects.

We provide lead services for the Federal and local governments including the US Department of Navy and the USDA: home remodelers and lending institutions also hire us for lead paint services.
