What drives the cost of title clearing in Clarkston

  • Number and type of defects
  • Whether lienholders can be located and respond
  • Corrective documents to prepare and record
  • Estate, probate or heir issues

  • The age of the home: the typical Clarkston home was built around 1957, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

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.
