What Kentucky homeowners should know about kitchen remodeling
Census estimates put the median build year in Kentucky at 1982; about 13% of homes were built before 1950. Many homes of this age still have their first kitchen or bathroom. Decide early whether you want to move fixtures, since that changes the permit and the scope. 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 100% of Kentucky's counties are in climate zone 4A (mixed, humid), based on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map. In a damp climate, a range hood that vents outside helps keep moisture and cooking odors out of the house.
About 68% of homes in Kentucky are single-family houses, and about 68% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
Permits and contractor licensing in Kentucky
Moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits or changing walls usually needs a permit; swapping fixtures in place usually does not. In Kentucky, 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.
Kentucky has no statewide general contractor license; the state licenses electricians, plumbers and HVAC contractors. For other trades, ask your city or county building department which license applies, and ask the company for its license number.
