Beware Of Your Home Having Lead Based Paint!
If your home was built before 1978 and you're having any exterior renovations completed that could lead to paint chip residue, you must have your home tested to see if your paint is lead-based! Your contractor can test the paint and if there IS lead, he/she has to follow a very strict lead-removal process (if caught by the EPA doing it incorrectly, he/she could be charged $32,500!)
