What Ely homeowners should know about bathroom remodeling

Linn County is in IECC climate zone 5A, a cool, humid climate, 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. Cold winters make exterior walls matter. If walls are opened, ask whether insulation will be added before they are closed.
About 79% of homes in Ely are single-family houses, and about 82% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
