  • Total rise and number of landings
  • Indoor or outdoor rated unit
  • Concrete pad, railing or structural work

Before you hire in Melvindale

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Melvindale was built around 1950. 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

66% 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 Melvindale building department before work starts.
