What West Virginia homeowners should know about bathroom remodeling
Census estimates put the median build year in West Virginia at 1976; about 22% 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.
About 65% of West Virginia's counties are in climate zone 4A (mixed, humid), based 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. Check your own county's zone, since conditions differ across the state.
About 71% of homes in West Virginia are single-family houses, and about 75% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
