Before you hire in Northville
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Northville was built around 1968. 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
23% 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 Northville building department before work starts.
