Do you have any experience with the EPA RRP Lead Paint Rules & Regulations?

Asked by gorillapaws (30530points) November 5th, 2010

I’m house-hunting and many of the homes in the areas I’m interested in that fall in my price range are from the 50’s-60’s which makes them fall under the recently enacted EPA RRP Lead Paint Rules & Regulations.

I’m just wondering if anyone has any experience either doing work on your home while remaining in compliance with these regulations, or on the contractor side of things.

How big of a pain is it to be compliant? How much extra does this add to the cost of an otherwise simple repair? Would you buy a home built before 1978? How badly will this hurt re-sale, or the value of the home?
