What Boise homeowners should know about bathroom remodeling
Census estimates put the median build year in Boise at 1986; about 10% of homes were built before 1950. 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.
The U.S. Department of Energy places Ada County in climate zone 5B (cool, dry). Cold winters make exterior walls matter. If walls are opened, ask whether insulation will be added before they are closed.
About 64% of homes in Boise are single-family houses, and about 63% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
