Washington moved its RRP program to the Department of Commerce, which now certifies firms doing lead-based paint renovation in pre-1978 Washington properties. The state credential replaces the federal EPA firm certification here.
Washington firm certification carries a low $25 state fee, is valid up to five years, and is filed by mail with copies of your renovator certificate(s). We assemble the packet, include the certificate copies, and mail it with the check on your behalf.
We file for Washington contractors statewide, including Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver.
We also file in all EPA-administered states. Read the full guide →
Washington runs its own EPA-authorized program through WA Dept of Commerce, so Washington firms certify with the state rather than through the federal EPA CDX system. We prepare your application and submit it to WA Commerce as your authorized agent.
$154 all in for Washington firms: our $129 service fee plus the WA Commerce filing fee, itemized at checkout and never marked up. Valid up to 5 years.
Any firm paid to disturb more than six square feet of interior paint, or more than twenty square feet of exterior paint, in Washington housing or child-occupied facilities built before 1978, including crews working from Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, and Vancouver. That covers general contractors, painters, plumbers, electricians, HVAC and window companies, and property managers.
Most Washington certificates are issued in ~2–3 weeks after we file. We track your Washington application to issuance and email your certificate plus your Lead-Safe Certified Firm logo. Washington also requires a certified renovator on staff, you provide their name, number, and certificate during the application.
