  • Access: gates, fences, slopes and backyard distance

Before you hire in Pontiac

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Pontiac was built around 1961. 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

49% 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 Pontiac building department before work starts.

Stump Grinding in Pontiac: FAQ

It depends on stump diameter, number of stumps, wood type, grinding depth, surface roots, access, and whether chips are hauled away and the lawn restored.
Grinding leaves the roots to rot in place and is faster with less yard damage. Full removal pulls the root ball and is used when building directly over the spot.
Some species, such as silver maple and tree of heaven, can send up sprouts from roots. Deeper grinding and cutting sprouts as they appear usually ends it.
