A federal program page about lead-safe work practices when renovating homes built before 1978, which can apply to siding and trim work.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, known as EPA, runs the Renovation, Repair and Painting program, which sets lead-safe work practices for certain renovation work in older homes. Older paint on siding, trim and soffits may contain lead, and work that disturbs it needs care. Owners of older homes in Nashville can read the page to understand why contractors may test, contain dust and clean carefully.
We are a private company and are not part of EPA. We ask about the age of your home, discuss lead-safe practices when siding, trim or other painted surfaces will be disturbed and plan containment and cleanup accordingly. The rules are detailed, so we encourage you to read the official page and ask any contractor how they handle older homes. We are glad to explain what we do on siding and trim projects.
