Before you hire for a walk-in tub installation in Washburn
Census estimates put the median build year in Washburn at 1972; about 35% 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.
Bayfield County is in IECC climate zone 6A, a cold, humid climate, on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map.
