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.

How to compare composite decking quotes

  • Compare quotes on the same board line, railing and deck size.

  • Confirm the joist spacing meets the decking manufacturer's spec.
  • Confirm who pulls the building permit and schedules inspections.
  • Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
