What Minneapolis homeowners should know about bathroom remodeling
Census estimates put the median build year in Minneapolis at 1951; about 49% of homes were built before 1950. Opening walls in older homes can reveal outdated plumbing, wiring or rot. Ask each company how it handles surprises and get that in writing. 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 Hennepin 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. Cold winters make exterior walls matter. If walls are opened, ask whether insulation will be added before they are closed.
About 44% of homes in Minneapolis are in buildings with five or more units. Condo buildings often need approval before a remodel and may limit work hours. Only about 48% of occupied homes in Minneapolis are lived in by their owners, so many residents rent. Renters should check with the property owner or manager before hiring anyone for a bathroom remodel.
