Before you hire for a bathroom remodel in Sheldon
Census estimates put the median build year in Sheldon at 1970; about 17% 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 O'Brien County in climate zone 6A (cold, humid). In a damp climate, a bathroom exhaust fan that vents outside (not into the attic) helps prevent mold.
