Before you hire in Allen Park
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Allen Park was built around 1955. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.
Older plumbing and sewer lines
77% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.
Permits: check with the Allen Park building department before work starts.
How to compare driveway excavation quotes
- Ask how deep they will dig and how thick the stone base will be.
- Confirm whether fabric is included over soft clay.
- Ask who pulls the right-of-way permit for the approach.
- Confirm removal and disposal of the old drive is in the quote.
- Check the LARA license and ask for proof of insurance.
