The median home in Altamont was built in 1988, and about 41% were built before 1980. 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.

Cold winters make exterior walls matter. If walls are opened, ask whether insulation will be added before they are closed.
