Stabilize deteriorated exterior paint on a pre-1978 home on the 2400 block of Carnes Ave, Orange Mound

Peeling, chalking exterior paint on this block's older housing predates 1978 lead-paint rules; EPA RRP-certified stabilization contains and removes the hazard the safe way, not the dusty way. Standard: EPA RRP-certified renovator hands-on lead-safe paint stabilization (containment, wet methods, HEPA-vacuum cleanup, clearance verification) on a pre-1978 home's deteriorated painted surfaces, per 40 CFR Part 745 Subpart E. Proof: Before photo of the deteriorated painted surface; Containment setup photo (plastic sheeting, wet methods); Clearance verification result + after photo Method (EPA RRP-certified renovator hands-on lead-safe paint stabilization (containment, wet methods, HEPA-vacuum cleanup, clearance verification) on a pre-1978 home's deteriorated painted surfaces, per 40 CFR Part 745 Subpart E, ~120-240 min): 1. ASSESS: confirm the certified-firm/renovator credential and the pre-work lead-hazard-document-survey findings (which surfaces, which planned disturbance); set up RRP-compliant containment (plastic sheeting, warning signs, occupant/child exclusion from the work area) before any disturbance. 2. Stabilize the deteriorated paint using RRP-compliant wet methods only (wet scraping/wet sanding, or a HEPA-shrouded tool) — never dry sanding, dry scraping or open-flame burning. 3. Prime and finish-coat the stabilized surface with the agreed paint/finish; keep containment in place until cleanup is complete. 4. Perform RRP cleanup: HEPA-vacuum all surfaces and the containment area, wet-wipe, and verify with the post-work cleaning verification / clearance dust-wipe method. 5. Remove containment only after clearance passes; photograph the finished surface and file the RRP compliance record (firm certification, work practices used, cleanup verification) with the household. Equipment: EPA Lead-Safe Certified firm credentials + RRP-compliant containment sheeting, wet-sanding/wet-scraping tools (no dry sanding/scraping, no open-flame burning), HEPA vacuum + HEPA-filtered respirator/PPE per the RRP work-practice standards, post-work clearance dust-wipe test kit Done when: Certified-firm/renovator credential and containment set up and photographed before any disturbance; Only RRP-compliant wet work practices used (photographed) — no dry sanding/scraping/open-flame; HEPA-vacuum cleanup + clearance/cleaning verification passed and documented; Finished surface photographed + RRP compliance record filed with the household

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before photo of the deteriorated painted surface; Containment setup photo (plastic sheeting, wet methods); Clearance verification result + after photo

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 120–240 minutes. Method of record: EPA RRP-certified renovator hands-on lead-safe paint stabilization (containment, wet methods, HEPA-vacuum cleanup, clearance verification) on a pre-1978 home's deteriorated painted surfaces, per 40 CFR Part 745 Subpart E

Bring

• EPA Lead-Safe Certified firm credentials + RRP-compliant containment sheeting
• wet-sanding/wet-scraping tools (no dry sanding/scraping, no open-flame burning)
• HEPA vacuum + HEPA-filtered respirator/PPE per the RRP work-practice standards
• post-work clearance dust-wipe test kit

Steps

1. 1. ASSESS: confirm the certified-firm/renovator credential and the pre-work lead-hazard-document-survey findings (which surfaces, which planned disturbance); set up RRP-compliant containment (plastic sheeting, warning signs, occupant/child exclusion from the work area) before any disturbance.
2. 2. Stabilize the deteriorated paint using RRP-compliant wet methods only (wet scraping/wet sanding, or a HEPA-shrouded tool) — never dry sanding, dry scraping or open-flame burning.
3. 3. Prime and finish-coat the stabilized surface with the agreed paint/finish; keep containment in place until cleanup is complete.
4. 4. Perform RRP cleanup: HEPA-vacuum all surfaces and the containment area, wet-wipe, and verify with the post-work cleaning verification / clearance dust-wipe method.
5. 5. Remove containment only after clearance passes; photograph the finished surface and file the RRP compliance record (firm certification, work practices used, cleanup verification) with the household.

If it does not match the plan

• Any planned dry sanding, dry scraping or open-flame paint removal -> STOP, RRP-compliant wet/HEPA methods only.
• Post-cleanup clearance/cleaning verification fails -> re-clean and re-test before removing containment; never leave a failed-clearance area open to the household.
• Any occupant/child not excluded from the contained work area during disturbance -> STOP work until they are clear.

What counts as done

• Certified-firm/renovator credential and containment set up and photographed before any disturbance
• Only RRP-compliant wet work practices used (photographed) — no dry sanding/scraping/open-flame
• HEPA-vacuum cleanup + clearance/cleaning verification passed and documented
• Finished surface photographed + RRP compliance record filed with the household

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
