What drives the cost of porch construction in Inkster

  • Repair versus full rebuild
  • Material: wood, composite, concrete or masonry
  • Porch roof repair or replacement
  • Column and railing style
  • Number of steps and landings
  • Historic district requirements
  • Lead paint handling on older porches
  • The age of the home: the typical Inkster home was built around 1957, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Inkster

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Inkster was built around 1957. 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

60% 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 Inkster building department before work starts.
