More homes in Orange were built in the 1960s 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 61 years old, unless it has been redone since.

64% 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 EPA. Ask for the certificate when you book the measure.
