Before you hire in Lapeer
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Lapeer was built around 1976. 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.
Pre-war construction
17% 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.
Permits: check with the Lapeer building department before work starts.
How to compare bowing wall repair quotes
- Consider an independent structural engineer evaluation before choosing a method.
- Ask each contractor to record the current wall deflection in the quote.
- Compare quotes that use the same method, or ask why each recommends a different one.
- Verify the Residential Builder license on the LARA lookup and ask for insurance certificates.
- Confirm who pulls the permit and whether engineering is included.
