Keep Your Concord Home Lead-Safe and Law Compliant
Concord is a town steeped in American history, known for its beautiful Colonial architecture, Revolutionary War landmarks, and a rich literary legacy. However, many of Concord’s charming homes and multi-family properties were built before 1978, leaving hidden lead-based paint hazards that can threaten the health of children under 6 and pregnant individuals.
MKC Associates offers licensed lead inspections in Concord, helping homeowners, landlords, and property managers detect hidden hazards, comply with Massachusetts Lead Law, and protect the health of families and tenants.

Concord Spotlight: Local Lead Risks
Concord’s neighborhoods, like Concord Center, West Concord, and Barrett’s Mill, feature stunning homes from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. Many properties still retain original woodwork, plaster walls, windows, and painted finishes that may conceal lead beneath newer paint layers.
In a community committed to historic preservation, renovations must often be handled delicately—and even careful work can disturb lead hazards. A licensed lead inspection is essential for families with young children, landlords preparing rental properties, or anyone purchasing in Concord’s sought-after housing market.
