Lead Safe Home
"We love Smith Home Improvements and can't say enough good things about them. We WILL be using Smith Home Improvements for all our future projects. And, we STRONGLY recommend them to everyone in need of a contractor, regardless of the size of the job or budget." -- Greg & Vivian |
Environmentally Conscious Building & Remodeling
The new Renovation, Repair, & Painting rule established by the Environmental Protection Agency and Kansas Department of Health & Environment require that as of April 9, 2010, all contractors who work on homes built before 1978 be licensed and certified renovators. Smith Home Improvements has achieved Certified Renovator Firm status and each of our employees are Certified Renovators with both the EPA and the KDHE.
You may view our EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm Certificate HERE. You may view our KDHE Licensed Renovation Firm Certification HERE.
If another contractor advises you he can give you a cheaper price by not being certified or following KDHE regulations, he is right - but he is breaking the law and potentially subjecting your family to unsafe lead levels in your home. If a contractor is attempting to perform work without following the RRP lead-safe work practice requirements, you may contact the KDHE Tip Line at 866-865-3233 or online at www.kshealthyhomes.org/complaint_form.htm
Whether you as a homeowner are doing the work on your project, or hiring someone to do it for you, it is important that you educate yourself on this issue. Additional Information about Lead Paint can be found below, |
