  • Which permits your city or township requires
  • Need for a structural review or engineer letter
  • Zoning, historic district or HOA review
  • Interconnection level and utility review

Before you hire in Utica

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Utica was built around 1976. 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 1976 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 Utica building department before work starts.
