Before you hire in Richmond
Pre-war construction
25% 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.
Mid-century and newer systems
Most homes here date from 1980 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 Richmond building department before work starts.
