Lead Paint in North Carolina Homes — What You Need to Know
North Carolina has hundreds of thousands of homes built before 1978 — the year the federal government banned lead-based paint in residential properties. If your NC home was built before that date, it almost certainly contains lead paint somewhere: walls, trim, windows, doors, porches, or under layers of newer paint.
Lead paint is not dangerous when it is intact and undisturbed. But the moment you sand, scrape, cut, or disturb it during a renovation — it becomes a serious health hazard. Lead dust is invisible, odorless, and extremely toxic, especially for children under 6 and pregnant women.
That is why the EPA requires all contractors working in pre-1978 homes to be EPA Lead Paint Certified and follow the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule. American Renovation is fully certified and serves all of North Carolina.
