Working With an EPA Certified Contractor

When it comes to hiring a contractor for a remodeling project, it’s important to make sure they’re EPA Certified, especially if your home was built before 1978. Many older houses in the United States contain lead-based paint and other harmful chemicals, so you should work with a certified contractor who knows how to safely handle and dispose of these materials.

An EPA Certified contractor can also suggest energy-saving improvements like replacing your old windows with double-pane windows or installing spray foam insulation, both of which will keep your indoor environment more comfortable and save you money on energy costs.
