What North Carolina homeowners should know about flooring
Census estimates put the median build year in North Carolina at 1991; 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 79% of North Carolina's counties are in climate zone 3A (warm, 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 65% of homes in North Carolina are single-family houses, and about 67% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
