Before you hire in Livonia
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Livonia was built around 1964. 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
41% 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 Livonia building department before work starts.
How to compare basement finishing quotes
- Ask each contractor what moisture signs they see and how they would address them.
- Get quotes on the same layout, including bathroom and egress if planned.
- Verify the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
- Confirm who pulls each permit and that inspections are in the schedule.
- Tie payments to completed stages and collect lien waivers at each one.
