This is how I handle it for my business and with my contractors:- All my contractors know that I only want bids on the labor.

I'm a commerical contractor so I feel decent about my repair estimates.

Some states require a certified contractor to handle it, and provide correct disposal papers.

How about all the small investors out there who have sold properties on land contract or via owner financing.

From what I gather, I will be required to hire a state licensed lead abatement contractor to dig up all the dirt around the property and property dispose of it.

That was a good one, everyone could see them, parked in between them, but if I did not have a fresh coat of reflective line paint on before the reinspect, I would have to get permits from the city and have a contractor with a license and bond with the county apply them.

Make sure you get accurate estimates for the repairs via contractors before proceeding.
