Before you hire in Ray Township
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Ray Township 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
19% 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 Ray Township building department before work starts.
