  • Interior or exterior installation and access
  • Whether the structure is lifted

Before you hire in Grosse Pointe Woods

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Grosse Pointe Woods was built around 1953. 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

74% 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 Grosse Pointe Woods building department before work starts.
