Before you hire Michigan Carpenters Council Health & Welfare Fund

• The typical home in Lansing was built in 1959.
• With 79% of Lansing's homes built before 1980, many are covered by federal lead rules: any home built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, and under the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule, contractors who disturb painted surfaces in those homes must be lead-safe certified by the EPA or an authorized state program. Ask to see the firm's certification.
• Heavy snow (about 51 inches a year) means roofs, decks and additions must be framed for the snow load set by the local building department.
