  • Drive type and speed
  • New hoistway versus fitting into an existing building
  • Cab finishes and door type
  • Controller brand and whether it is proprietary

  • Scope of related building, electrical and fire alarm work
  • The age of the home: the typical Dearborn home was built around 1952, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Dearborn

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Dearborn was built around 1952. 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

71% 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 building department before work starts.
