Lead paint work across Montgomery County’s older housing.
The county’s housing runs from 1880s Victorians to houses finished the year of the ban, and the right treatment differs by era. Each area page below covers its own stock: what was built when, what fails inspection there, and what the fix costs. Rockville itself is covered on the home page, and the law itself on the county guide.
Lead paint inspection near me: how to tell who is accredited
A lead paint inspection near you in Montgomery County is only worth the fee if the person holding the XRF gun is accredited by the Maryland Department of the Environment, so check that before you check the price. MDE keeps a public list of accredited lead inspectors and contractors, and the accreditation number belongs on the quote. The inspector also has to be independent of the crew doing any correction; a company that tests its own work cannot issue the certificate a landlord needs. What the certificate types are and what inspectors publish for prices is on the lead certificate page, and the county inspection pages match you to an accredited inspector anywhere in the state.
Lead paint services: what we actually do on a visit
Lead paint services means four things on this site: dust wipe and XRF testing for a rental certificate or a purchase, risk reduction work on the surfaces a report flags, abatement when a buyer or a renovation needs the hazard gone, and the clearance test after the work. Every one of them is priced on the cost page before you call, and a pre-1978 house that tests clean gets told so and sent home with a report instead of a scope of work. Across the line, the Washington, DC page covers the DOEE rules, which do not match Maryland's.
