  • Number of alarms and levels in the home
  • Replacing existing hardwired units versus adding new locations
  • Hardwired interconnect versus wireless interconnect
  • Smoke only versus combination smoke and CO alarms
  • Plaster ceilings and attic access for new wiring
  • Whether the work is part of a larger permitted renovation
  • The age of the home: the typical Sterling Heights home was built around 1977, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Sterling Heights

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Sterling Heights was built around 1977. 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.

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1977 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Permits: check with the Sterling Heights building department before work starts.
