What East Hartford homeowners should know about bathroom remodeling
Census estimates put the median build year in East Hartford at 1961; about 24% of homes were built before 1950. Kitchens and bathrooms from this era often keep their original layout and plumbing. 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.
The U.S. Department of Energy places Capitol Planning Region in climate zone 5A (cool, humid). In a damp climate, a bathroom exhaust fan that vents outside (not into the attic) helps prevent mold. Cold winters make exterior walls matter. If walls are opened, ask whether insulation will be added before they are closed.
Permits and licenses in East Hartford
Moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits or changing walls usually needs a permit; swapping fixtures in place usually does not. In East Hartford, permits come from the city's building department, or from Capitol Planning Region for addresses outside city limits. Ask the company who pulls the permit, and keep a copy of it.
Home improvement contractors must register with the Department of Consumer Protection. Look up the company's license or registration before you sign.
