Michigan is an EPA-administered state, which means lead-safe firm certification for Michigan contractors is issued directly by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Any Michigan firm paid to disturb paint in pre-1978 housing or child-occupied facilities must hold this certification before advertising for or performing the work.
Because Michigan does not run its own program, we prepare and submit your application in EPA’s CDX for you. The all-in cost in Michigan is $429: our $129 service fee plus the EPA’s $300 filing fee, and the certificate is valid for five years.
We file for Michigan contractors statewide, including Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, Ann Arbor.
We also file in all EPA-administered states. Read the full guide →

Valid 5 years. We send a renewal reminder before it lapses.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issues it. Michigan is EPA-administered, so there is no separate Michigan state program; the application goes through EPA's CDX system.
Any firm paid to disturb more than six square feet of interior paint, or more than twenty square feet of exterior paint, in Michigan housing or child-occupied facilities built before 1978, including crews working from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, and Ann Arbor. That covers general contractors, painters, plumbers, electricians, HVAC and window companies, and property managers.
Processing time is set by U.S. EPA; not guaranteed. We track your Michigan application to issuance and email your certificate plus your Lead-Safe Certified Firm logo.
A firm certification is issued per program, so crews that cross a state line into a state-run program need that state’s credential too. See the fee for every state we file → · EPA Lead-Safe certification guide →
