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