Bathroom Remodeling in Ames: what the local homes and climate mean
The median home in Ames was built in 1973, and about 75% were built before 1980. 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 Major 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 95% of homes in Ames are single-family houses, and about 90% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
