ATLANTA, GA, March 31, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Maintenance Free Windows, a leading provider of Atlanta replacement windows, announces that they are a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Lead-Safe Certified firm. This certification is in accordance with the EPA's new renovation, repair, and painting lead law that will go into effect April 22, 2010.
Maintenance Free Windows supports this new federal law and the potential it has to significantly reduce childhood lead poisoning.
The new law requires contractors, property managers, and others paid to replace windows or renovate residential homes, apartments, and child-occupied facilities built before 1978 to be certified by the EPA. The primary goal of this law is to protect children from lead dust that may result from disturbing lead-based paint. According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the body. Lead poisoning can cause health problems including decreased I.Q., learning disabilities, kidney disease, high blood pressure, miscarriages, and birth defects.
The Atlanta windows company specializes in vinyl replacement windows and vinyl patio doors. They offer top quality products that make homes more energy efficient. Being a Lead-Safe Certified firm insures that Maintenance Free Windows is working to protect Americans from one of the most serious environmental hazards to children and pregnant women.
Greg Cassidy, General Manager of Maintenance Free Windows explains, "We are working in compliance with the new Federal law to help combat childhood lead poisoning. The firm is certified in lead-safe work practices and training provided by the EPA." The EPA Lead-Safe Certificate is a comprehensive certification program. Firms must become certified for lead-based paint activities to conduct abatements, inspections, and risk assessments. Firms are also required to become certified under the renovation, repair, and painting rule to conduct renovations and post-renovation dust samplings.
The leading Atlanta replacement windows provider strives to provide customers with quality, reliability, and excellence in everything they do. Maintenance Free Windows will provide relaxed, informative assessments of the homeowner's current situation and offer outstanding installation craftsmanship.
