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 roof ventilation quotes
- Ask each roofer to explain your current intake and exhaust and what they would change.
- Ask whether soffit intake will be opened or added, not just exhaust.
- Confirm bath fans will vent outside, not into the attic or soffit.
- Check the license on the LARA lookup.
- Get the ventilation plan in writing with the vent count and type.

Roof Ventilation in Oak Park: FAQ
Signs include ice dams, frost or dark stains on the underside of the roof boards, a very hot attic in summer, and curling shingles. A roofer can check from the attic.
Unbalanced ventilation is the usual issue. Mixing ridge vents with gable or powered vents can pull air from the wrong place and leave parts of the attic stagnant.
Vents added during a re-roof fall under that permit. Standalone vent work and fan rerouting may have separate local rules, so confirm with BSEED in Detroit or your local building department.
