Bathroom Remodeling in Clear Lake: what the local homes and climate mean
The median home in Clear Lake was built in 1977, and about 54% 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.
Polk County is in IECC climate zone 6A, a cold, humid climate, on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map. In a damp climate, a bathroom exhaust fan that vents outside (not into the attic) helps prevent mold. Cold winters make exterior walls matter. If walls are opened, ask whether insulation will be added before they are closed.
About 64% of homes in Clear Lake are single-family houses, and about 70% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
