EPA Certified Renovator

Applied Contracting Services, Inc. is an EPA Certified Renovator. Currently we are one of very few EPA Certified Renovators in the state of Florida. By April 22, 2010, all home improvement contractor firms that you hire to work on your pre-1978 home, must be able to show proof of a valid Renovation, Repair and Painting – Initial or Refresher (RRP) certificate.

Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children. To protect against this risk, on April 22, 2008, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the rule, beginning in April 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
