Before you hire Mason Lodge

Ask Mason Lodge for its license number and check that it is active and in the business's name on the board's website. Look up the license

• The typical home in Mason was built in 1978.
• With 54% of Mason'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.
