Chad Dole, 42, sits on his Claremont, N.H. porch near the cracking evidence of lead paint on a window frame Friday, May 6, 2016. Dole has been working as a painter since age 16 and just started his own painting business in 2015. He took a renovation, repair and painting certification course for handling lead based paintslast summer and says he subscribes strictly to EPA rules. "It is kind of tedious," he said of requirements like changing his plastic drop cloths daily and changing his clothes in a plastic curtained booth before leaving a job site. "Following the law can cost you a lot of money, but if you don't follow it, you can end up spending a lot more," he said of potential fines and negative health effects. (Valley News - James M.
