Certified Lead Removal Contractors in Boston Prevent Toxic Lead Exposure During Home Improvements

Posted on Apr 09, 2010 in News

Exposure to lead has been proven to cause physical and mental retardation in children and nerve damage in adults. Those with a high risk of toxic exposure are families living in homes build before 1978 which most likely used lead-based paint during construction.

To protect children and adults from these health hazards, the Environmental Protection Agency will make the Renovation, Repair, & Painting (RRP) Lead Law effective on April 22, 1010. As such, only EPA certified lead removal renovation, repair, and painting contractors should be hired for any home improvements.

Despite the fact that lead removal home improvement contractors in Boston may be hard to find, it is essential to find one in the area rather than risk the health of your family. Home remodeling and repairs need not risk the health of the family if we are vigilant in looking for those with the knowledge and expertise in lead removal.

MasterCraft is one of a very few EPA certifed lead removal companies for safely containing lead during renovations to properties in the Boston and South Shore MA area.
