What Keene homeowners should know about flooring
Census estimates put the median build year in Keene at 1985; about 22% 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.
Johnson County is in IECC climate zone 2A, a hot, humid climate, 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.
