Lead Paint Law in Effect for Replacement Window Projects
You may be hearing a lot of buzz lately about the EPA’s Lead Paint Rule. That’s because its requirements, defined in 2008, became effective just last month and that means a change in the way many remodeling companies are doing business. Almost any contractor can disturb lead-based paint during a repair or renovation, creating hazardous dust and debris.
We at Mr. Rogers Windows take the dangers and health risks of lead paint very seriously. Our sales consultants and installers have undergone rigorous EPA training, as well as most of our support team. We will provide clients with our EPA Certification, and remain in full compliance with all Lead Safe Work Practices.
If your home or building was built before 1978 you should know that we are actively engaged in the regulations, and up to date with federal and state compliance requirements in order to assure the safety and health of your home and family.

EPA requires individuals conducting lead-based paint activities (abatement, inspection, and risk assessment) in target housing and child-occupied facilities to be trained and certified. The trainers are accredited to ensure quality, and certified individuals must follow specific work practices.
