Before you hire in ST Clair Shores
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in ST Clair Shores was built around 1957. 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
63% 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 ST Clair Shores building department before work starts.
How to compare railing installation quotes
- Ask each installer how newel posts and rails are anchored.
- Ask them to confirm the code requirements they will build to.
- Compare materials, fittings and finish.
- Ask about lead-safe practices for painted railings in pre-1978 homes.
- Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
