What Indiana homeowners should know about flooring

The median home in Indiana was built in 1976, and about 55% 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 49% of Indiana's counties are in climate zone 4A (mixed, 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 73% of homes in Indiana are single-family houses, and about 71% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.

Permits and contractor licensing in Indiana

Replacing floor coverings usually does not need a permit, but repairing or replacing the subfloor or joists can. In Indiana, 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.

Most contractor licensing is handled by cities and counties; the state Professional Licensing Agency licenses plumbers. Ask your city or county building department which license applies, and ask the company for its license or registration number.
