EPA RRP Compliance for Detroit Contractors
From the Boston-Edison Historic District and Indian Village to East English Village and West Village, Detroit's pre-1978 housing inventory is enormous — much of it brick foursquares, bungalows, and Tudor revivals with original lead paint under decades of repaints. RRP is functionally mandatory on any Detroit renovation touching painted surfaces; documented containment and training are how renovators ship work without inviting EPA penalty exposure.
Notable areas: Boston-Edison · Indian Village · East English Village · West Village · Corktown · Palmer Woods
What we do on every job in Detroit
Same flat rate, same flow, every job — whether it's a Detroit window replacement or a kitchen demo across town.
Containment, pre-set
We arrive before your crew and have the lead-safe containment built — interior 6 ft / exterior 10 ft, sealed openings, signage. Your crew loses zero hours to RRP setup and starts work 90 minutes to 2 hours faster than they would have without us.
15-minute toolbox training
On-site Lead-Safe RRP toolbox training for the GC's crew before work begins. Toolbox training is the construction-industry term for a brief pre-shift safety briefing; ours covers EPA-required practices and satisfies the on-the-job training requirement for non-certified workers under 40 CFR 745.90(b). Each attendee signs an acknowledgment that becomes part of the compliance packet.
On-site monitoring
We stay on-site through the work, monitor for lead disturbance, and re-set containment if needed. Lead never becomes the GC's problem.
End-of-job cleanup
We tear down the lead containment — HEPA pass, wet wipe, fold-and-bag the protective sheeting, run the cleaning verification card test. Your crew packs up the larger jobsite while we handle the lead-impact zone.
24-hour compliance packet
Within 24 hours of job completion we email you a single PDF packet containing the occupant RRP acknowledgment, signed toolbox-training verifications, containment photos, cleaning verification photos, and a Drive link to the full job folder valid for 39 months — three years of EPA-required retention plus a 90-day grace window to pull your copy.

More of Wayne County
We work across the county. Other markets we serve in Wayne County:
Dearborn's pre-1978 housing is concentrated in the East Dearborn neighborhoods south of Michigan Avenue — modest wood-frame and brick homes built around the Ford plants between 1920 and 1960. Window replacements, siding work, and kitchen renovations on this stock routinely trip RRP thresholds.
LivoniaLivonia is overwhelmingly post-war ranch and tri-level, mostly built between 1950 and 1975. That's prime RRP territory — homes old enough to have lead paint, but new enough that owners are deep in their second or third remodel cycle.
WestlandWestland's housing stock is dense post-war ranches and bi-levels from the Nankin Township era — almost entirely 1950s-1970s construction, almost entirely RRP-eligible. Typical jobs here are window replacement, siding, and partial-gut kitchens.
PlymouthOld Village Plymouth and the streets around Kellogg Park are a deep pre-1978 inventory — many homes pre-1940 with multiple repaint layers. Renovators working historic-aware homeowners here treat RRP documentation as a selling point, not a tax.
NorthvilleNorthville's downtown core and surrounding pre-WWII neighborhoods have a high concentration of vintage homes with original architectural details. Renovation here is high-touch; clients expect documentation and craft. RRP fits naturally into that quality story.
