Before you hire for a bathroom remodel in Wood Dale
Census estimates put the median build year in Wood Dale at 1973; about 9% were built in 2000 or later. 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.
Permits and licenses in Wood Dale

In Wood Dale, permits come from the city's building department, or from DuPage County for addresses outside city limits. Ask the company who pulls the permit, and keep a copy of it.
