  • Square footage of walls and ceilings
  • Surface condition and repairs needed first
  • Number of coats to flatten texture
  • Lead-safe practices in a pre-1978 home

  • The age of the home: the typical Oregon Township home was built around 1976, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Oregon Township

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Oregon Township was built around 1976. 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.

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1976 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Permits: check with the Oregon Township building department before work starts.
