More homes in Cedar City were built in the 2000s than in any other decade, 22% of them, followed by the 1990s at 21%. A kitchen put in when one of those houses was new is now about 21 years old, unless it has been redone since.
23% 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 Utah’s own program, which EPA authorized. Ask for the certificate when you book the measure.
