  • Asbestos test results for textured ceilings

Before you hire in Howell

Pre-war construction

16% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1979 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Permits: check with the Howell building department before work starts.
