Price

What drives the cost of childproofing in Clarkston

  • Gate style, including angled or banister kits
  • Whether you supply products or the pro sources them

Before you hire in Clarkston

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Clarkston was built around 1957. 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

55% 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 Clarkston building department before work starts.
