EPA Lead Certified Professionals Ensuring Safe Renovations in Minnesota
Homeowners, are you aware of the safety of your home’s paintwork? If your property predates the late 1960s (and even as late as the 1980s), lead-rich paints were commonly used, especially for doors, windows, and other woodwork and metals.
Choosing EPA Lead Certified contractors for renovations in homes built before 1978 is crucial. Our EPA Lead Certified team at BLUE Painting ensures that your home project is handled safely and in compliance with regulations, safeguarding your property and its occupants.

Upon completion of our work, we promptly dispose of any lead-based debris, prioritizing your family’s health and safety. Before engaging any paint company or contractor, always inquire about their EPA Lead RRP certification number. Trust BLUE Painting for responsible and secure renovations.
