Lead paint rules for Crossroads rentals
If you rent out a home built before 1978, Washington's lead-safe rules apply to your remodel. The homeowner exemption covers only work in your own primary residence.
The Washington Department of Commerce RRP page says, "If you rent or flip your home, the RRP rules apply to your project(s)." Firms must be certified by Commerce and use certified renovators. Ask for both before you sign. Read lead paint and kitchen remodels for the full guide.
Finishes that last in a rental or busy kitchen
For a rental or a hard-working family kitchen, pick finishes that resist stains, water and scratches. Quartz counters, solid-wood or plywood cabinet boxes and water-resistant flooring hold up well.
Counters
Quartz needs no sealing and resists stains.
Cabinets
Shaker doors in a mid-tone or white hide wear better than high-gloss slab doors.
Flooring
Choose a water-resistant floor rated for kitchens.
Hardware
Pulls in a common size are easy to replace.
Appliances
Standard sizes make future swaps simple.

FAQ
Crossroads kitchen FAQs
Do I need a certified firm to remodel my Crossroads rental kitchen?
Yes, if the home was built before 1978 and the work disturbs paint. Washington's RRP rules apply to rentals and flips.
How fast can you turn over a rental kitchen?
A same-layout rental refresh moves fastest when cabinets are stock or in stock. Order cabinets and counters before the tenant leaves, so the unit sits empty for less time.
Do you remodel condo kitchens in Crossroads?
Yes. We plan around HOA approval, work hours and delivery access. See our small condo kitchen remodel page.
Should I remodel my Crossroads home before selling?
A minor refresh is usually the better bet. In the Pacific region, it recouped 129.1% of its cost in 2025, compared with 57.2% for a midrange major remodel.
