Before you hire in Oak Park
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Oak Park was built around 1958. 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
61% 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 Oak Park building department before work starts.
How to compare construction loans quotes
- Ask each lender whether it offers a one-time close.
- Compare how draws are requested, inspected and paid.
- Confirm how the rate is set for the permanent loan.
- Ask what contingency or reserves the lender requires.
- Check the lender on NMLS Consumer Access and the builder on the LARA license lookup.
