Avision Windows and Doors earns EPA lead-safe renovation certification

Avision Windows and Doors has earned U.S. EPA certification to perform qualifying renovation, repair and painting work in homes and child-occupied facilities where lead-based paint may be present. The credential expands the Meridian-based company’s ability to handle window, door and structural projects in older properties across Idaho.

Why it matters: - The EPA certification gives Avision Windows and Doors added qualification for projects in older homes and other covered properties where lead-based paint may be disturbed. - The certification matters for renovation work that can create lead-contaminated dust during window, door and structural changes. - The credential can help Avision take on more complex residential projects while meeting federal lead-safety requirements.

What happened: - Avision Windows and Doors earned certification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to perform qualifying Renovation, Repair and Painting work in homes and child-occupied facilities. - The company is based in Meridian, Idaho, and serves the Treasure Valley and Idaho mountain communities. - Avision said its projects often involve more than a simple window or door swap and can include changing opening sizes, creating new openings and completing surrounding structural and finish work.

The details: - Avision specializes in replacement windows, new-construction windows, entry doors, patio doors, large moving glass walls and structural openings. - The company also provides siding, decks and related remodeling services. - Its work can require evaluation of framing, headers, siding, drywall, trim and other painted or finished surfaces before a project begins. - The EPA certification applies to qualifying work in target housing and child-occupied facilities under Section 402 of the Toxic Substances Control Act. - The federal Renovation, Repair and Painting requirements are designed to reduce exposure to lead-contaminated dust created when renovation work disturbs lead-based paint. - Avision serves homeowners and builders, including custom-home builders, new-home builders, spec-home builders and builders completing pre-sold homes. - The company’s service area includes Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Star, Garden City, Kuna, Nampa, Caldwell, Middleton, Emmett, Horseshoe Bend, Garden Valley, Crouch, Cascade, Donnelly and McCall, plus select surrounding communities. - Avision said it is in its fifth year of business. - The company says its approach is built around integrity, transparency, continual improvement, strong relationships and pride in its work. - Avision says it backs completed projects with a two-year workmanship guarantee. - Homeowners and builders can contact Avision to discuss whether EPA lead-safe requirements may apply to an upcoming window, door, structural opening or remodeling project. - More information is available at Avision Windows and Doors.

Between the lines: - The certification fits Avision’s core work because window and door replacement often intersects with older building materials and painted surfaces. - For a company that also handles structural openings and remodeling, the EPA credential broadens the range of jobs Avision can pursue in older homes. - The announcement positions compliance as part of the company’s service offering, not just a back-office requirement.

What's next: - Avision can now market itself for qualifying lead-safe renovation work alongside its existing window, door and remodeling services. - Homeowners and builders may need to assess lead-safe rules before starting projects in older properties. - The company is likely to use the certification when bidding or scoping projects that could disturb painted surfaces in covered housing.
