Lead Paint Abatement
in Rutland, Vermont

Licensed Lead Paint Removal in Rutland

Rutland is one of Vermont's largest cities and has a significant stock of older housing. The downtown core, West Rutland, Center Street, Grove Street, and the neighborhoods surrounding Merchants Row contain many 19th-century and early 20th-century homes and multi-family buildings that are likely to contain lead-based paint on windows, doors, trim, and walls.

Vermont's lead paint law (18 V.S.A. Chapter 38) requires landlords to perform Essential Maintenance Practices and address lead hazards in rental properties. Rutland County has seen ongoing concerns about childhood lead exposure linked to deteriorating paint in older rental housing. AAA Abatement LC brings experienced crews and consistent first-attempt clearance results at the strict 5 µg/ft² EPA standard.
