What Connecticut homeowners should know about flooring

The median home in Connecticut was built in 1967, and about 67% were built before 1980. Vinyl floor tiles and adhesives from before the 1980s can contain asbestos. Do not sand or scrape an old floor until it has been tested. 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 100% of Connecticut's counties are in climate zone 5A (cool, humid), based on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map. Humidity makes wood floors swell and shrink. Ask how long the flooring will acclimate and whether concrete slabs get a moisture test.

Permits and contractor licensing in Connecticut

Replacing floor coverings usually does not need a permit, but repairing or replacing the subfloor or joists can. In Connecticut, building permits are issued by cities and counties, so the rules depend on where the home is. Ask the company who pulls the permit, and keep a copy of it.

Home improvement contractors must register with the Department of Consumer Protection. Look up the company's license or registration before you sign.
