What Wilmerding homeowners should know about bathroom remodeling
The median home in Wilmerding was built in 1961, and about 80% 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.
Allegheny County is in IECC climate zone 5A, a cool, humid climate, on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map.

If walls are opened, ask whether insulation will be added before they are closed.
