[Highland Park] Contractors
by Rick Nitkiewicz 23 May '12

23 May '12

FYI: If you hire a "contractor" or a "handyman" they have to be EPA Certified and you MUST have a copy or the actual certification on site. If the "person/contractor/handyman" is NOT certified You AND THE "person/contractor/handyman" will be fined so that money you so wanted to save could cost you a years wages! Any "person/contractor/handyman" that is not certified will be turned in and checked on as soon as complaint is received. These un-certified "people" that give you that "cheap" price are putting you and your family at risk by spreading Lead & Asbestos dust/particles etc for you and your family to take in and are "killing" the industry and you for the companies that are COMPLETELY Certified that can't give the "scab-non-certified" prices. The trainings, the standards, the materials that ensure that you will be safe cost money which are not cheap. I hope this will enlighten those of you to what the standards are out there and being enforced. So, when you are looking for a $100.00 paint job it might cost you $1000's in the end and possibly your health.
