It is with pride and anticipation that Wright Kingdom Real Estate marks its 35th year providing service in Boulder County real estate on April 1, 2011. I recall that my first listing in 1970 was a 3 bedroom house in Martin Park for $15,000. Now inflation would raise the price of that house to around $350,000. The last four decades tell a story about growth in and around Boulder.

Thinking about remodeling? Read this first.
Posted On October 5th, 2010 by Grace | Comments ClosedEarlier this year in April, a federal law became effective requiring contractors performing renovation, repairs and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. If lead paint is found in the work area, the contractor is required to use lead-safe practices, which include using specialized clothing, equipment, procedures and clearance testing procedures. A contractor who takes your project must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and only EPA Certified Renovators are allowed to do the work. There are some exemptions and exclusions for certain homes built before 1978. Your contractor will be able to tell you if your project qualifies. Make sure to get signed copies of everything from your contractor- exemption forms, paint sample results, and a certificate proving that lead-safe practices were followed. Also request a liability insurance certificate from the contractor to confirm that they’re insured to do lead paint testing and renovation.
