Bathroom Remodeling across New Jersey: homes and climate

Census estimates put the median build year in New Jersey at 1970; about 24% 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.

About 62% of New Jersey's counties are in climate zone 4A (mixed, humid), based 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. Check your own county's zone, since conditions differ across the state.

Permits and contractor licensing in New Jersey

Moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits or changing walls usually needs a permit; swapping fixtures in place usually does not. In New Jersey, building permits are issued by cities and counties, so the rules depend on where the home is. Ask the company who pulls the permit, and keep a copy of it.

Home improvement contractors must register with the Division of Consumer Affairs. Look up the company's license or registration before you sign.
