Local factors in Chicago
Older housing stock in Chicago makes pre-renovation testing especially important before walls, ceilings, or floors are disturbed.
Radon potential varies across Illinois; testing is the only way to know the level in a specific home.
If your Chicago home has peeling paint or old pipe insulation, handle it carefully until it has been assessed.
Illinois licensing varies by trade and municipality, and local permits are common. Ask the contractor which license and permits apply to your project.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an asbestos test before remodeling?
If the home was built before the 1980s and the project will disturb suspect materials, testing is a sensible first step. Local regulations may require it.
Can lead paint be painted over?
Encapsulation or paint can sometimes manage lead paint, but the surface must be prepared correctly and the dust controlled. A lead-safe assessment is important.
What radon level is too high?
Radon is measured in picocuries per liter. The U.S. EPA recommends considering mitigation at or above 4 pCi/L. A professional can explain the results.
Is abatement always required?
Not always. Sometimes the material can be managed in place if it is intact and not disturbed. Testing and a professional assessment will determine the options.
