  • Disassembly and crating required
  • Rigging equipment, cranes and trucking

  • The age of the home: the typical Southgate home was built around 1963, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

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.
