Before you hire for a bathroom remodel in West Salem
Census estimates put the median build year in West Salem at 1970; about 41% 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 Wayne County in climate zone 5A (cool, humid). In a damp climate, a bathroom exhaust fan that vents outside (not into the attic) helps prevent mold.
