EPA-RRP – Renovation, Repair and Painting Certification and Refresher Courses

Are you complying with the law and keeping your customers safe from lead paint and other contaminants?
As of April 22, 2010, anyone doing repair or contract work to a home that was built pre-1978 is required to be an EPA-RRP Certified Professional.  That means painters, general contractors, renovation specialists, electricians, plumbers and even property managers fall under the requirements of this law.

PDCC has partnered with Contractors Business Centers to offer EPA-RRP Certified Renovator and EPA-RRP Refresher
courses at a SPECIAL 15% DISCOUNT to PDCC MEMBERS!
