Thought it wouldn’t hurt to begin talking on the 2011 RRP changes that will most likely take place. In general, the changes are ...
1. Certified renovators will get a new way to test for lead based paint. This would be paint chip sampling.
2. On exterior work, put up vertical containment if work will affect surfaces within 10 feet of the property line. Assumption is “neighbors†property line.
3. Dust Sampling test by Lead Inspector, Assessor or Dust Sampling Technician after use of heat gun at below 1,100 degrees … removal or replacement of door or window frames … scraping 60 square feet of a painted surface and removing more than 40 square feet of trim/molding/cabinets (or other fixtures).
4. Clearance testing by the same folks mentioned in number 3. This will be required after demolition of 6 square feet of plaster and lath … using machines to remove paint (sanding, grinding, power planning, needle gun & abrasive blasting).
Good reason to begin talk, is that your contracts may need to be changed. You may also have to add cost into estimates of jobs coming up in late summer and you may want to consider becoming a dust sampling technician.
Note: Not all states allow dust sampling technicians.
