What Bensenville homeowners should know about bathroom remodeling
Census estimates put the median build year in Bensenville at 1970; about 14% 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 DuPage County 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.
About 41% of homes in Bensenville are in buildings with five or more units. Condo buildings often need approval before a remodel and may limit work hours.
Permits and licenses in Bensenville
