Introduction to My Blog

I am an attorney who represents both home contractors and homeowners when disputes arise between them. People tend to call me after problems have developed when it no longer seems possible for them to resolve the issues themselves. Unfortunately, I am presented with many situations that could have been avoided with careful planning, or improved communication. The purpose of this blog is to provide a guide for both homeowners and contractors to help them prevent disputes, avoid collection difficulties and make for satisfying stress-free projects.

Homeowners who are considering doing a renovation must know that if their homes were built prior to 1978, their contractors are required to follow certain procedures if they are going to disturb more than 6 interior square feet of paint or 20 exterior square feet of paint.  This law requires that the general contractor must become certified with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and that the contractor himself take an eight-hour class in order to become a certified renovator and learn lead-safe practices that contain lead dust. Although the EPA claims that it will be doing a publicity campaign to inform homeowners about the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule), I have heard very little about it outside of construction circles.  So, I feel that it is important for me as a construction lawyer to educate the public about this rule.
