Before you hire in Southfield
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Southfield was built around 1969. 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 1969 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 Southfield building department before work starts.

Ice Dam Removal in Southfield: FAQ
Pulling snow off the lower roof with a roof rake from the ground is fine. Climbing on an icy roof or chipping ice is dangerous and can damage shingles.
Heat cables can keep a drainage path open in problem spots, but they do not fix the heat loss causing the dam. Air sealing and insulation address the cause.
Ask whether the crew uses low-pressure steam rather than chipping or pressure washing, whether they carry insurance for roof work, and check any roofing license on the LARA lookup.
