Lead Paint & Renovations

Federal law requires contractors that disturb painted surfaces in homes, childcare facilities and schools built before 1978 to be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. Always ask to see your contractor’s certification.
Federal law requires that individuals receive certain information before renovating more than six square feet of painted surfaces in a room for interior projects or more than twenty square feet of painted surfaces for exterior projects or window replacement or demolition in housing, child care facilities and schools built before 1978.
Homeowners and tenants: renovators must give you a pamphlet entitled “RENOVATE RIGHT” before starting work.
Child care facilities, including preschools and kindergarten classrooms, and the families of children under six years of age that attend those facilities: renovators must provide a copy of this pamphlet to child care facilities and general renovation information to families whose children attend those facilities.
For Do-It-Yourselfers, it is highly recommended that they obtain and study the EPA’s brochure, “The Lead-Safe Certified Guide to Renovate Right.”

Customer Testimonials

“Getting through a renovation project with a construction group (or contractor) can be a tiring and disappointing experience. That’s what I’ve heard, but I wouldn’t know because we found Baxter Group, Inc. It was like meeting a caring second mother and new big brothers I didn’t know I had, right when I needed them the most. They anticipated problems beforehand and avoided them. Truly a great working relationship that we could not have been happier about. Thanks again Baxter Group, Inc.!”

“I was at a job site late this morning, returned a half-hour or so ago, and was greeted with the Risk Assessment report. And a good report it is, with respect to content, format and, of course, the testing results. Having the report in-hand 24 business hours after the field work took place isn’t too shabby either.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is asbestos dangerous?

The inhalation of asbestos fibers is a serious health risk. The fibers embed in the lung tissue and over time may cause lung diseases, including malignant lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Asbestos fibers may also become embedded in the skin and cause diseases such as asbestos warts, pleural plaques, and diffuse pleural thickening. Disease symptoms may take several years to develop following exposure.
