Bathroom Remodeling across Alabama: homes and climate

The median home in Alabama was built in 1986, and about 42% were built before 1980. Many homes of this age still have their first kitchen or bathroom. Decide early whether you want to move fixtures, since that changes the permit and the scope. Federal EPA rules require firms that disturb painted surfaces in homes built before 1978 to follow lead-safe work practices. Ask whether the company is EPA lead-safe certified.

About 13% of Alabama's counties are in climate zone 2A (hot, humid), based on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map. In a damp climate, a bathroom exhaust fan that vents outside (not into the attic) helps prevent mold. Check your own county's zone, since conditions differ across the state.

About 69% of homes in Alabama are single-family houses, and about 70% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
