What Georgia homeowners should know about flooring
Census estimates put the median build year in Georgia at 1992; about 35% were built in 2000 or later. In homes of this age, the main prep questions are usually subfloor flatness and moisture in concrete slabs. Ask the installer how both are checked. 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 26% of Georgia's counties are in climate zone 2A (hot, 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. Check your own county's zone, since conditions differ across the state.
About 66% of homes in Georgia are single-family houses, and about 66% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
Permits and contractor licensing in Georgia
Replacing floor coverings usually does not need a permit, but repairing or replacing the subfloor or joists can. In Georgia, 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.
The Georgia Secretary of State's contractor licensing board licenses residential and general contractors. Look the company up with the State Licensing Board for Residential and Commercial General Contractors before you sign.
