My company installs new or replacement seamless gutters. We install the gutters using self-tapping screws and the cumulative size of the total number of holes is only a couple of square inches.

Does the minor maintenance exception mean that if I drill one-inch holes in a painted surface to blow insulation into an enclosed wall cavity, I could drill 864 holes in the interior or 2,880 holes on the exterior before I had to comply with the RRP Rule? Or does it mean that the work is covered by the RRP Rule once I insulate more than six square feet of interior wall area (basically one hole) or more than 20 square feet of exterior wall area?
The exception is based on the area of paint disrupted, which in this example is based on the combined areas of the holes drilled in the wall. Question Number: 23002-15677 Find a printable PDF copy of all frequent questions pertaining to lead .

When a home or an apartment unit is repainted in preparation for a new tenant, is the painting activity always considered a “renovation” for purposes of the pre-renovation education requirements even if no surface preparation activity is performed prior to painting?
Answer: No. The primary determinant of whether a given activity constitutes a “renovation” under the RRP Rule is whether that activity disturbs a painted surface.
