Bathroom Remodeling in Marengo: what the local homes and climate mean
The median home in Marengo was built in 1982, and about 39% were built before 1980. 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.
Ashland 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.
Only about 49% of occupied homes in Marengo are lived in by their owners, so many residents rent. Renters should check with the property owner or manager before hiring anyone for a bathroom remodel.
