What Garretson homeowners should know about walk-in tubs
Census estimates put the median build year in Garretson at 1973; about 25% of homes were built before 1950. Kitchens and bathrooms from this era often keep their original layout and plumbing. 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.

If walls are opened, ask whether insulation will be added before they are closed.
