2. Who will be completing the work needed? Will all aspects be completed by in-house crews?
a. Some companies will hire out the work to be done by Others. You cannot guarantee who will be in your home or business, or of their level of quality. Entrusting a company that you are unfamiliar with is a dangerous game to play. Legal responsibility, customer service and accountability are just a few of the issues that could arise with a company sub-contracts their contracts out. Choose wisely and know who will be completing the work.

Tips & Safety Measures of Lead Paint
Does my home have lead paint? What are the concerns?
“Over 80% of all housing in the U.S. built before 1978 contains some lead-based paint on the interior or exterior.”, as noted by the EPA.
 |
Todd Whittaker Drywall Inc. is a Certified Lead Professional. If your home or business was built prior to 1978, lead-based paint should be a topic of concern. Prior to any type of paint work or remodeling, a risk assessment report should be done. The state of Arizona mandates that any contractor working on a home with possible lead paint be a certified lead professional due to the health hazards and procedures that are involved when working with lead exposure. |
