Before you hire in Hamtramck
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Hamtramck was built around 1938. 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
86% 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 Hamtramck building department before work starts.
How to compare structural repair quotes
- Ask each contractor what they believe caused the damage.
- Consider an independent engineer's evaluation for significant problems.
- Confirm the permit and any engineering are included in the quote.
- Verify the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
- Get the repair method and warranty in writing.
