Gentry Remodeling
RRP Compliance Solutions
For the EPA Lead-Based Paint Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program Rule

 "We are the connecting piece."

As of April 22, 2010, a new Federal law requires that professionals who disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and schools, built before 1978 be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.

Gentry Remodeling has developed a new division specifically designed to help homeowners and fellow contractors manage the requirements, logistics and implementation of the new lead law during renovations. Let our solution for RRP compliance relieve you of these concerns. We are a certified renovation team with the tools, equipment, and knowledge to manage the administrative and labor headaches involved with following these necessary procedures.
* Lead is extremely harmful to adults and pregnant women. Children under 6 are especially at risk if exposed because of their developing brains and nervous systems. In adults, even low levels can pose dangers, such as; high blood pressure and hypertension. For this reason, the new law was created to protect everyone involved.

Why Is Lead Paint Dangerous?
Lead gets into the body when it is swallowed or inhaled. People, especially children, can swallow lead dust as they eat, play, and do other normal hand-to-mouth activities. People may also breathe in lead dust or fumes if they disturb lead-based paint. People who sand, scrape, burn, brush, blast or otherwise disturb lead-based paint risk unsafe exposure to lead.
