At Venture Window, we take pride in our commitment to controlling Lead Dust from Lead Paint. Before work begins, homeowners receive clear explanations about the steps involved and the precautions that will be taken. Crews use controlled removal methods, wet techniques, and HEPA vacuums to keep dust from spreading, and work areas are carefully contained whether the project is in a Providence triple-decker or a single-family home elsewhere in Rhode Island.
By treating lead paint concerns in Providence and across Rhode Island as one and the same responsibility, Venture Window LLC helps families improve their homes while respecting the health and history of the communities they live in.
What we can say with confidence is that the pool of homes where lead paint is likely is very large, because Rhode Island has an unusually old housing stock. RIDOH notes that an estimated ~80% of Rhode Island homes were built before 1978 and likely contain lead-based paint (lead dust being the most common source of exposure). The CDC similarly highlights how concentrated pre-1978 housing is in Rhode Island’s renter stock, especially in “Core Cities” (which includes Providence), reinforcing that a large share of Providence housing is in the higher-risk age band
The chart shows a steadily accelerating rise in raw numeric units from 25 in 2010 to just over 600 by 2026, illustrating classic exponential growth rather than a linear increase.
