Before you hire in Southgate

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Southgate was built around 1963. 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

45% 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 Southgate building department before work starts.

Compare quotes

How to compare door hanging quotes

  • Tell each bidder the number of doors, style and whether trim is staying.
  • Ask whether they recommend slabs or prehung units and why.
  • Confirm hardware, painting and disposal are in the price.
  • Ask about lead-safe practices for painted doors and trim in pre-1978 homes.
  • Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.

Door Hanging in Southgate: FAQ

A slab reuses the existing frame and trim, which suits older homes with good casing. A prehung door comes with a new frame and is faster when the old jamb is damaged or out of square.
Wood swells with humidity and houses settle. Tightening hinges, adjusting the strike or planing the edge usually fixes it.
Often, but it means opening the wall and changing framing, which may need a permit. A carpenter can check for wiring or plumbing in the wall first.

It depends on the scope. Ask the Southgate building department, and expect a licensed contractor to pull any permit the job needs.
