More homes in Butler were built in the 1950s than in any other decade, 25% of them, followed by the 1970s at 19%. A kitchen put in when one of those houses was new is now about 71 years old, unless it has been redone since.
78% of homes here were built before 1980. In a home built before 1978, a remodel that disturbs painted cabinets, trim or walls has to be done by a firm certified for lead-safe work by Wisconsin’s own program, which EPA authorized. Ask for the certificate when you book the measure.
Detached houses are 43% of homes in Butler; the rest are townhomes, condos and apartments. In a condo or townhome the association may have to approve work on plumbing, walls or wiring, so ask for its rules before the measure.
