Huntington Beach FAQ

Can I renovate my pre-1978 home myself?

Owner-occupants can perform work in their primary residence without RRP certification, but rental, child-occupied, or contracted work must use a certified firm with lead-safe practices.

How do I test my home for lead paint?

Hire a California-licensed lead inspector or risk assessor. OC HCA maintains a referral list and offers free testing for qualifying families with children under six.
