Bathroom Remodeling across Washington: homes and climate

Census estimates put the median build year in Washington at 1985; about 14% of homes were built before 1950. Many homes of this age still have their first kitchen or bathroom. 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 36% of Washington's counties are in climate zone 4C (mixed, marine), based on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map. Cold winters make exterior walls matter. If walls are opened, ask whether insulation will be added before they are closed. Check your own county's zone, since conditions differ across the state.

About 62% of homes in Washington are single-family houses, and about 64% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
