Remodeling Tips and Useful Information
Lead Exposure in Old Homes
If your home was built before 1978, it is more likely to have lead-based paint. In 1978, the federal government banned consumer uses of lead-based paint, but some states banned it even earlier. Lead from paint, dust and soil in and around your home can be dangerous if not managed properly. Learn more from the EPA.
Hand Made Home is licensed to renovate homes with lead paint and surfaces through the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting Program. We have extensive experience in safely and efficiently renovating homes while mitigating the risk of exposure to lead-based paint.
Mold in Old and New Homes
Did you know that even new homes are susceptible to mold infestation? In fact, because they are constructed to be more air-tight than their older counterparts, new homes can sometimes be hotbeds of mold growth. Learn more about mold, mold allergies, and moisture control from the EPA. Our team has extensive experience with mold detection and safe removal.
Concerns About Asbestos
Asbestos has also been used in a wide range of manufactured goods, mostly in building materials such as roofing shingles, ceiling and floor tiles, paper products, and asbestos cement products. Asbestos fibers may be released into the air by the disturbance of asbestos-containing material during product use, demolition work, building or home maintenance, repair, and remodeling.
We sometimes find asbestos materials when remodeling older homes, and when we do, we take every precaution to limit exposure and we immediately contact asbestos abatement experts to manage the removal and cleanup of asbestos materials. Find out how to protect yourself and your family with guidance from the EPA.
