I often have conversations with buyers about buying a "fixer upper" and remodeling when talking about homes for sale in Indiana. Of course, if you are going to buy Indianapolis land and build...you don't have to worry about this topic! But...for everyone else...who owns a home built prior to 1978 or is considering remodeling one, you need to know about the new law that went into effect in April. Even older Geist waterfront homes can have peeling paint issues that now beckons professional attention! As of April 22, 2010, contractors and professionals have an obligation to follow new federal guidelines to protect all occupants, but in particular...children. Find these new guidelines and information at 2010leadlaw.com.. The impact of this law is far reaching for contractors, paints, and individuals in the renovation industry as they must be specially trained and this will like cause increased costs for the consumer. What is important to note is that it doesn't matter if paint is involved or not...this new law applies to all renovations on homes/buildings built prior to 1978. Contractors can face stiff fines if they do not adhere to the new law! Take a look now so that you can take this into consideration as you watch late night HGTV and dream about your home projects!
