What Lake Geneva homeowners should know about bathroom remodeling
Census estimates put the median build year in Lake Geneva at 1978; about 20% of homes were built before 1950. 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.
Walworth County is in IECC climate zone 5A, a cool, humid climate, on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map.
