Home / Deleading & Renovations

Deleading vs. Renovations

The major difference between deleading and renovation is the intent of the work.

What is the difference?

Deleading work is performed to remove lead hazards in a home so that it gains a Letter of Full Deleading Compliance. This letter protects owners from strict liability under the Massachusetts Lead Law, and makes the home safer for children and adults. Deleading jobs are also eligible for up to $1,500 in tax credit per unit deleaded.

Renovation work is done to improve the quality of the home or repair problems. With lead paint laws affecting renovation work, some jobs may seem to serve the same function as deleading, but the difference lies in the intent of the work.
