What Delaware homeowners should know about bathroom remodeling
The median home in Delaware was built in 1987, 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 100% of Delaware's counties are in climate zone 4A (mixed, 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.
Permits and contractor licensing in Delaware
Moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits or changing walls usually needs a permit; swapping fixtures in place usually does not. In Delaware, building permits are issued by cities and counties, so the rules depend on where the home is. Ask the company who pulls the permit, and keep a copy of it.
Delaware has no statewide general contractor license; the Division of Professional Regulation licenses plumbers, HVACR contractors and electricians. For other trades, ask your city or county building department which license applies, and ask the company for its license number.
