An article appeared in today’s Wall Street Journal outlining some of the main points of the new Lead Paint Law, along with some of the attending issues this law creates.

This law affects building built before 1978, and not only involves painters, but various types of contractors who might need to cut into a wall, sand a piece of trim or basically modify anything in the building that has a painted surface.

Locally, I’ve been speaking to painters and most are aware of the law and are enrolling in classes to learn about best practices, and get certified.
