What Henniker homeowners should know about bathroom remodeling
Census estimates put the median build year in Henniker at 1972; about 35% 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.
Merrimack County is in IECC climate zone 5A, a cool, humid climate, on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map. 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.
Only about 47% of occupied homes in Henniker 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.
