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.

Detroit and many suburbs have programs. Contact your water utility to see if and when your address is scheduled.
