Education
Staying up to date in the industry
As Liberty Hill Construction continues to grow and take on new projects, Greg continues to educate himself on the latest industry trends. He annually attends The Journal of Light Construction, Residential Trade Show in Providence, Rhode Island. This conference has enabled Greg to be kept aware of the latest building materials and techniques in addition to acquiring valuable business management skills.
In 2008, Greg became one of the first Certified Green Professionals in the state. The Certified Green Professional (CGP) designation identifies Greg as a contractor with knowledge of the best strategies for incorporating green building principles into homes. The CGP program is administered by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) University of Housing and sponsored locally by the Home Builders and Remodeler's Association of New Hampshire.
As the company continues to grow, complete more projects and expand, it has been important to recognize customer needs and meet them. Early in 2006, Liberty Hill Construction purchased a Kubota L-39 back hoe. This machinery purchase has provided the company with the ability to complete much of the foundation site work, drainage and landscaping required for your project.
 Most recently Greg completed the requirements to become a Certified Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) contractor by the EPA. Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children.
To protect against this risk, on April 22, 2008, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the rule, beginning April 22, 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
EPA requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools be certified by EPA and that they use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices. Individuals can become certified renovators by taking an eight-hour training course from an EPA-approved training provider.
Liberty Hill Construction, LLC looks forward to working with you on your project and continuing to build a solid foundation for company growth.
