Isleton FAQ

Do I need a lead-safe contractor?

Yes if your home was built before 1978 and you are disturbing more than 6 square feet of painted surface interior.

Does Isleton have a lot of pre-1978 housing?

Yes. The historic Main Street district and much of the surrounding residential stock predates 1978, so lead-paint rules apply frequently.

Rancho Cordova FAQ

Does this apply if I DIY my own paint job?

Homeowners doing their own work in their own residence are exempt from RRP contractor rules but still subject to substandard housing rules and should follow lead-safe practices.

How do I know if my home has lead paint?

Any home built before 1978 should be presumed to contain lead paint unless testing by a certified inspector shows otherwise.
