Before you hire in Ortonville

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Ortonville was built around 1972. 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

26% 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 Ortonville building department before work starts.

How to compare duct leakage testing quotes

  • Ask which test they perform and what the result will be compared to.
  • Ask whether they will point out where leaks are, not just the number.
  • Confirm the report format your builder, inspector or program needs.
  • Ask about BPI or RESNET credentials.
  • If an HVAC company tests its own work, ask for the raw results.
