Almost any work done in a home must be done by a properly certified person/firm. This may affect transactions after home inspections when repairs are requested... With few exceptions... anyone that swings a hammer, turns a wrench or runs a wire will need to be certified…. Partial list of affected parties from the EPA Site... • Building construction (NAICS code 236), e.g., single family housing construction, multi-family housing construction, residential remodelers. • Specialty trade contractors (NAICS code 238), e.g., plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors, painting and wall covering contractors, electrical contractors, finish carpentry contractors, drywall and insulation contractors, siding contractors, tile and terrazzo contractors, glass and glazing contractors. • Real estate (NAICS code 531), e.g., lessors of residential buildings and dwellings, residential property managers. • Child day care services (NAICS code 624410). • Elementary and secondary schools (NAICS code 611110), e.g., elementary schools with kindergarten classrooms. • Other technical and trade schools (NAICS code 611519), e.g., training providers. • Engineering services (NAICS code 541330) and building inspection services (NAICS code 541350), e.g., dust sampling technicians. This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this action. Other types of entities not listed in this unit could also be affected.
