Before you hire in Dearborn Heights
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Dearborn Heights was built around 1958. 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
61% 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 Dearborn Heights building department before work starts.

If they are older, usually yes. The flashing is being replaced anyway, and it avoids tearing into new shingles later.
It is a small reflective tube that brings daylight into a room from a roof dome. It suits hallways and bathrooms with no attic room for a shaft.
