Harmony Painting earns EPA lead-safe certification in Denver

Harmony Painting has been certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to perform lead-safe renovation, repair and painting work in pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities.

Why it matters: - The EPA certification lets Harmony Painting perform renovation, repair and painting work in homes built before 1978 and in child-occupied facilities that may contain lead-based paint. - The credential matters in Denver because many homes in the metro area were built before the federal ban on consumer lead-based paint. - Lead-safe work practices are designed to reduce the chance that renovation dust spreads hazardous lead to children and adults.
