remodeling my home   Message List

Hello.

I am Jeni Lynn, and my family is heavy metal toxic. In an attempt
to rectify this tragedy, one of the things that my husband and I
intend to do is make our home "greener" as we remodel various rooms.

One of the projects that I would like to do is put new windows on
our house. A problem that I run into with this is that the trim
around the windows on the exterior of our home is painted with lead
paint. Here are my questions:

1) Is there a recommendation as far as the specfic windows are
concerned? Is there a specific brand that is non-toxic? Should I
look into "replacement" windows or "new construction" windows when
considering our lead predicament?

2) Is there a recommended company that I could contact to safely put
in the windows and that is experienced with keeping the lead from
contaminating my home during the project? We live in the Shenandoah
Valley of VA.

3) Does anyone know how I could go about finding such a company if
one is not already known?

TIA!
Jeni Lynn
