Red Lion is an old borough in the way that matters to a contractor. About half its homes were built before 1940, and attached houses such as twins and rowhomes outnumber detached ones. Most households own, so the person calling is usually the person paying. A smaller layer went up in the 1980s, and few homes have been built since 2000.

Old houses mean old systems behind the walls: wiring, pipes, chimneys and roofs that may have been patched more than once. On a twin or rowhome, roof, gutter and masonry work reaches the neighbor's side too, so it helps to settle who owns what before a crew arrives. Gas heats most homes, and the Red Lion Municipal Authority supplies water drawn mainly from Cabin Creek.

All building permits go through the Red Lion Borough Office, and the applicant picks one of three inspection agencies: Dependable Construction Code Services, Middle Department Inspection Agency or Pennsylvania Municipal Code Alliance. A Red Lion mailing address can sit outside the borough, so confirm which municipality the house is in before work starts.
