Bathroom Remodeling in Crystal Lake: what the local homes and climate mean
Census estimates put the median build year in Crystal Lake at 1986; about 19% were built in 2000 or later. 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 McHenry 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 67% of homes in Crystal Lake are single-family houses, and about 78% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
