Before you hire in Ferndale
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Ferndale was built around 1945. 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
76% 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 Ferndale building department before work starts.
How to compare staircase construction quotes
- Ask each builder to measure and explain the stair layout.
- Confirm who pulls the permit and schedules inspection.
- Compare materials for treads, risers, stringers and railings.
- Ask how they will handle headroom or landing changes.
- Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
