Before you hire for a bathroom remodel in Independence
Census estimates put the median build year in Independence at 1967; about 20% 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 Jackson County in climate zone 4A (mixed, humid). In a damp climate, a bathroom exhaust fan that vents outside (not into the attic) helps prevent mold.
About 71% of homes in Independence are single-family houses, and about 61% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
