Certified Renovator

A Certified Renovator is a professional who has completed training and certification in safely renovating homes built before 1978, when lead-based paints were common. They are knowledgeable about the hazards of lead exposure, especially to children, and follow specific practices to contain and clean up lead dust during renovations. This ensures the safety of residents and workers by minimizing the risk of lead poisoning. Certification typically comes from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or similar regulatory bodies, emphasizing the importance of health and safety in renovation projects.
