What Merrillan homeowners should know about walk-in tubs
Census estimates put the median build year in Merrillan at 1961; about 39% 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.
