Why a roofing job can be a lead job
Lead-based paint was banned for residential use in 1978. Portland's older neighborhoods, and towns up and down the Willamette Valley and the coast, are full of homes from before that date. On those houses the roofing itself is rarely painted — the wood around it often is. A re-roof routinely disturbs:
- Fascia and rake boards — painted wood that is often removed or replaced at the roof edge.
- Soffits and eave trim — disturbed when drip edge, gutters or ventilation change.
- Dormer siding and trim — cut back where new roofing meets the dormer walls.
- Painted trim at chimneys and sidewalls — disturbed when step and counter flashing is replaced.
In Oregon, renovation that disturbs more than 20 square feet of exterior paint on a home built before 1978, or on a child-occupied facility, is covered. The CCB issues the Lead-Based Paint Renovation license to CCB-licensed contractors; the Oregon Health Authority accredits the training individual renovators take.
What lead-safe work looks like on your roof
Oregon's program is EPA-authorized, which means it must be at least as protective as the federal rule. On a covered exterior job, that baseline is:
Before work starts
You receive EPA's Renovate Right pamphlet no more than 60 days before work begins, and warning signs go up around the work area (40 CFR 745.84 and 745.85).
A certified renovator on every job
A certified renovator is assigned to each covered job, and everyone disturbing paint is a certified renovator or trained by one (40 CFR 745.89(d)).
Containment
Doors and windows within 20 feet are closed, and the ground is covered with disposable plastic sheeting extending 10 feet beyond the work area — further if debris could travel farther (40 CFR 745.85(a)(2)(ii)).
Prohibited practices
No open-flame burning or torching of painted surfaces; no high-speed sanding or grinding without a shroud and HEPA vacuum; heat guns only below 1,100 °F (40 CFR 745.85(a)(3)).
Cleanup and records
Debris is contained and removed, a certified renovator visually checks the work area and the ground before the signs come down, and records are kept for three years (40 CFR 745.85(b), 745.86).
Which credential applies where
Oregon and Washington both run their own EPA-authorized programs, so each state's credential — not an EPA certificate — is the one that applies there.
Lead-safe roofing questions, answered
Do I need a lead-licensed contractor to re-roof my Oregon home?
If the house was built before 1978 and the job disturbs more than 20 square feet of exterior paint, yes. The Oregon Construction Contractors Board says only contractors licensed for Lead-Based Paint Renovation can bid or work on pre-1978 homes. Ours is held under CCB #130826.
Is an EPA lead certificate enough in Oregon?
Oregon runs its own program — EPA authorized the CCB and the Oregon Health Authority to administer it in 2010 — and the CCB requires its own Lead-Based Paint Renovation license on top of the contractor's CCB license. Ask any contractor for the Oregon license, not just an EPA card.
How can I verify your Oregon lead license?
Use the CCB's Lead Safe Contractor search and enter 130826. Interlock Metal Roofing (PNW) Inc. shows as Active.
What about work in Washington?
Washington also runs its own program, through the Department of Commerce under chapter 365-230 WAC. For Washington jobs, the company holds RRP firm certification R7896.
