What Michigan homeowners should know about flooring
Census estimates put the median build year in Michigan at 1972; about 22% of homes were built before 1950. 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 2% of Michigan's counties are in climate zone 7 (very cold), based on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map. Cold winters bring very dry indoor air, and wood floors can shrink and open gaps. Ask about expansion space and indoor humidity. Check your own county's zone, since conditions differ across the state.
About 72% of homes in Michigan are single-family houses, and about 73% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
Permits and contractor licensing in Michigan
Replacing floor coverings usually does not need a permit, but repairing or replacing the subfloor or joists can. In Michigan, 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.
