New feature: “Contractor’s Corner” guest posts
November 14, 2017
We’re starting a new thing … a “Contractor’s Corner” – a forum for the genuinely committed professionals and pioneers in the construction, renovation, rehab and remediation trades to discuss the evolving art and science of effective lead-hazard remediation / lead poisoning prevention measures.
This “Contractor’s Corner” is a place for EPA RRP certified contractors (and trainers) to write guest blog posts to share their proven strategies and tactics for addressing the formidable technical and practical challenges embodied in working on older homes while simultaneously scrupulously minimizing the generation of potentially hazardous dust and maximizing its containment; showcasing best practices, new technologies and products; exposing myths and examining techniques that have not lived up to their promise; sharing instructive “case histories” — both landmark achievements and perhaps noteworthy cautionary tales of ostensibly “effective” or “sufficient” practices that have not measured up to promised or expected results!
We’re going to offer the opportunity to participate in this to our long-time friends and our new #ContractorSponsors. We will share these important posts here (on this blog) as well as with our readers on Facebook, Twitter and in my weekly email bulletin.
Are you an experienced EPA RRP-certified professional interested in writing a guest post? Please be in touch with a proposed topic and check out our sponsorship options here [we’re just getting started with this new idea, but once we have our first guest posts in the Contractor’s Corner we will also create an index of topics covered with easy/ quick links!]
Thank you

Yay! Exciting! Great idea!
Hi again! How do you know if a home for a play date or family get-together is safe? I have a family member who lives in an older pre-1976 house. About one year ago, they remodeled parts of it. The fam would like me to head out there for a visit with my seven year old. I haven’t gone because I am too afraid of toxic dust . . . Are all old homes simply unsafe for kids? How do I know if it’s ok to spend a day there? I’m taking some heat for not having visited already so any insight would greatly be appreciated
