The new Lead Law effective in April 2010 is falling on clients like a lead balloon- hard. Matter of fact, since many firms, including us will need to raise our prices on average $300 or more per job, will be at a pricing disadvantage to those firms who choose not to follow the regulation. If we don’t follow the rules, we are fined $37,500 per day. That is almost more than the average American worker makes in a year!
