  • Number of alarms and levels in the home
  • Replacing existing hardwired units versus adding new locations
  • Hardwired interconnect versus wireless interconnect
  • Smoke only versus combination smoke and CO alarms
  • Plaster ceilings and attic access for new wiring
  • Whether the work is part of a larger permitted renovation
  • The age of the home: the typical Ferndale home was built around 1945, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

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.
