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.

Mulching in Sterling Heights: FAQ

It depends on bed area, depth, mulch type, whether it is blown in or spread by hand, and how much weeding and edging comes first.
An even layer of about two to three inches is common for beds. Measure bed area and ask your landscaper to calculate cubic yards.
Spring after cleanup is most common. A light fall topdressing can help insulate perennials.
