Question 1

Are you licensed and insured, and can you provide a certificate of insurance?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. BCI Painting is fully insured and carries general liability plus workers’ compensation coverage. We can show you a current certificate of insurance before work begins. We also maintain the required Georgia business licenses and hold EPA Lead-Safe certification for extra safety and peace of mind.

We carry comprehensive general liability, workers’ compensation, and commercial auto coverage, so your home, tenants, or business are protected from day one. Many HOAs and property managers ask for documentation, and we’ll gladly send a certificate of insurance (COI) directly from our carrier at signing or earlier, so you never have to chase paperwork.

Licensing: Georgia doesn’t require a state painting license, but BCI Painting maintains active county occupational licenses and is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm. That means our crews follow federal dust-containment rules when renovating homes built before 1978, keeping your family and pets safe.

Why it matters: Insurance and certification back our two-year material and workmanship warranty, giving you true “done right the first time” confidence whether you hire us for interior painting, exterior house painting, or a commercial repaint.

Next steps: Tell us during your free estimate visit if you’d like the COI, and we’ll forward it the same day. Call or request a quote online to get started with the best painting contractor in Northeast Georgia.

Question 2

My home was built before 1978—are your painters EPA Lead-Safe Certified and compliant with the RRP Rule?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BCI Painting is fully EPA Lead-Safe Certified and follows every requirement of the federal Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule when working on pre-1978 homes. Our trained, insured crews use approved containment, HEPA dust collection, lead-safe cleanup, and documentation to protect your family and meet legal standards.

Lead paint was banned in 1978, but many Athens-area homes still have it under newer coats. BCI Painting is one of the few Northeast Georgia painters that is EPA Lead-Safe Certified and fully compliant with the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule. Before we sand or scrape, we test suspect surfaces and give you written results. If lead is present, our crew sets up plastic containment, seals vents, and uses HEPA-filtered vacuums and dustless sanders to capture chips. Workers wear proper PPE, follow daily checklists, and log every step in the required RRP paperwork.

These practices protect your children, pets, and landscaping from harmful lead dust while keeping you on the right side of federal law. They also speed final cleanup, so your family can get back to normal faster. Like every project we take on (such as interior painting, exterior house painting in Athens, cabinet refinishing, or deck staining) we back lead-safe jobs with our two-year material and workmanship warranty and carry full liability and workers’-comp insurance for added peace of mind.

If your home was built before 1978, let us handle the lead risk the correct way. Call or request your free painting estimate today and see why homeowners across Clarke, Oconee, Jackson, and beyond rate us the best painting contractor in Northeast Georgia.
