Bid On Hud Homes
Once a HUD home has been bought, all renovations must be performed
according to HUD rules. The house must be tested for lead based paint
(LBP) with an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved testing
kit. This inspection must be performed by an official LBP risk assessor.
A pamphlet must be handed out by contractors working on the HUD
renovation called the EPA / HUD Renovate Right: Important Lead Hazard
Information for Families, Child Care Providers and Schools. HUD
prohibits certain work practices when renovating; the use of heat guns
that may burn paint, dry sanding, scraping farther than 1 foot away
from electrical outlets, or the use of volatile paint stripper.
