EPA Lead-Safe RRP Compliance Record

Any window, siding, roofing or remodeling work that disturbs paint in a home built before 1978 falls under the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting rule. The firm must be certified, a certified renovator must be assigned, and the Renovate Right pamphlet must be delivered and acknowledged before work starts.

Who uses it

Window, siding, roofing and remodeling contractors working on pre-1978 housing — common across Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Illinois.
