Before you hire for a bathroom remodel in Chattanooga
The median home in Chattanooga was built in 1976, and about 55% 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 Hamilton County in climate zone 3A (warm, humid). In a damp climate, a bathroom exhaust fan that vents outside (not into the attic) helps prevent mold.
Permits and licenses in Chattanooga
Moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits or changing walls usually needs a permit; swapping fixtures in place usually does not. In Chattanooga, permits come from the city's building department, or from Hamilton County for addresses outside city limits. Ask the company who pulls the permit, and keep a copy of it.
The Board for Licensing Contractors licenses contractors and, in some counties, home improvement contractors. Look up the company's license or registration before you sign.
