Protecting What Matters Most: Your Family, Your Home, and Your Health
At Insulation Hub, we believe every upgrade to your home should make it safer—not riskier. That’s why we’re excited to share that our very own Nathan Conklin has earned his Lead Renovator Initial Certification through the Environmental Management Institute at Ivy Tech Community College, as of July 14, 2025.
This EPA-recognized certification equips Nathan to safely perform renovation work in homes and buildings where lead-based paint may be present. It’s a critical step in ensuring your home improvements don’t unintentionally expose your family to hazardous materials.
Why This Certification Matters
Lead-based paint, which was commonly used in homes built before 1978, can release dangerous dust or chips during remodeling projects. Even small amounts of lead exposure—especially in children—can lead to serious health problems, including developmental issues and nervous system damage.
The Lead Renovator Certification ensures our team is trained in:
- Recognizing and managing lead paint hazards
- Following EPA and HUD work practices
- Safely containing and cleaning up renovation debris
- Protecting occupants, workers, and the environment during renovation
Who Needs a Lead-Safe Renovator?
If your home was built before 1978, any renovation that disturbs painted surfaces (like walls, windows, or trim) may fall under EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule. Hiring a certified contractor isn’t just smart—it’s often required by law.
