Before you hire in Lake Orion
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Lake Orion was built around 1959. 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
51% 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 Lake Orion building department before work starts.
How to compare block walls quotes
- Ask for a written scope showing footing size, block size, rebar and grout spacing.
- Confirm who pulls the building permit and who calls MISS DIG 811.
- Check the license number on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
- Ask how the wall will drain and what goes behind it if it holds back soil.
- Compare warranty terms on cracking and settlement, and what is excluded.
