Price

What drives the cost of fire damage restoration in Ferndale

  • Extent of structural damage and the number of rooms affected
  • Smoke spread through ducts, attic and wall cavities
  • Water damage from firefighting
  • Wiring, plumbing and HVAC that must be replaced
  • Code upgrades triggered by the rebuild

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.
