Textured paints
Lead-based paint in building materials is another focus of the EPD (Environmental Protection Division, a division of Georgia Department of Natural Resources). Environment and health concerns with lead-based paint in the building industry have lead the EPD to regulations involving renovation and/or demolition of residential and commercial structures. All public and/or commercial structures must be tested for lead-based paint prior to any disturbance of the structure. Jim Sims Contracting will provide for the testing for lead-based paint, submit the necessary notifications to the EPD, and perform abatement of all lead-based paint from the structure prior to demolition.
Jim Sims Contracting provides for environmentally safe removal of asbestos and lead-based paint prior to performing a demolition, thus keeping in compliance with the regulations regarding handling of hazardous materials as specified by the EPD.
