Lead Paint Abatement
in Worcester, Massachusetts

Licensed Lead Paint Removal in Worcester

Worcester is the second-largest city in New England and has one of the highest concentrations of pre-1978 housing in Massachusetts. Neighborhoods including Main South, Piedmont, Green Island, Vernon Hill, and Grafton Hill contain thousands of triple-deckers and multi-family buildings with lead-based paint on interior and exterior surfaces.

Under Massachusetts law (105 CMR 460), property owners who rent to families with children under six are required to delead their properties. Failure to comply can result in fines, liability for lead poisoning, and difficulty selling or refinancing the property.
