  • Footing count and digging conditions in clay or rubble fill

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.

Construction for a typical backyard deck often takes several days to a couple of weeks. Permit review, inspections, weather and material orders add time, so plan ahead of summer.
Spring through fall is easiest for digging footings and pouring concrete. Booking in winter or early spring gets you on schedules before the summer rush.
