Hawaii Lead-Safe Firm Certification

Hawaii’s pre-1978 housing stock means most renovation, repair, and painting firms operating here are subject to the EPA’s RRP Rule. Hawaii is EPA-administered, so firm certification is granted by the U.S. EPA and recognized throughout Hawaii.

We file the Hawaii firm certification for $429 all in and return a five-year certificate plus your Lead-Safe Certified Firm logo. The $300 portion is the government fee, paid directly to the EPA at filing, never marked up.
