What the Piqua housing stock means for bathroom remodeling
| Median year built | 1953 |
|---|---|
| Homes built before 1980 | 77% |
| Homes built in 2000 or later | 8% |
| Median home value | $138,600 |
| Owner-occupied homes | 65% |
About 77% of Piqua's 9,311 housing units, roughly 7,180 homes, were built before 1980, when lead paint and cast iron drains were still common. That share is the 3rd highest of the 12 communities we serve. Bathrooms in houses this age often have cast iron or galvanized lines, tile set over old mortar beds and floors that have softened around the tub or toilet. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint, and federal rules require lead-safe work practices when a certified firm disturbs painted surfaces in those homes. Plan for subfloor repair, a new drain and vent path, and an exhaust fan vented outside, and keep an allowance for the repairs that only show once the tile is out.
Housing figures: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates, retrieved October 25, 2026. Statements about what homes of an age typically contain are general and must be confirmed on site.
Permits, fees and inspections for bathroom remodeling in Piqua
- Miami County's customer portal lets Piqua applicants view invoices, request inspections and submit e-plans, and inspections must be requested 24 hours in advance.
- Rough electric is normally inspected with framing, and new electric service after the meter socket is wired to the main disconnect and prepared for the power company.

What changes for this bathroom remodeling project in Piqua
Piqua's residential development application covers remodeling and requests a site plan, elevation drawing and historic-resource information.
Miami County says alterations to sewer or plumbing lines need that separate plumbing approval, which covers a bathroom that changes a drain, a vent or the water supply.
Plumbing approval source: Miami County permit guidance (plumbing approvals through Public Health). Checked October 25, 2026.

Treat waterproofing and rough-ins as the core scope in Piqua
A bathroom scope should identify the shower or tub system, waterproofing method, drain and supply changes, ventilation, electrical protection, storage, tile layout and the way new work meets existing floors and walls. The visible finishes are only one part of the work that determines durability.
Protect the schedule around inspections and lead times for a Piqua project
The sequence usually runs through demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, inspection checkpoints, waterproofing, tile, fixtures and finish work. Confirm fixture sizes, tile availability and household access early because one missing component can leave a small room unusable for longer than expected.
Planning in Piqua
Before a bathroom remodeling proposal
The finish is what you see, but waterproofing, drainage, ventilation and the rough-in plan protect the room underneath it.
02
Manufacturer warranty record
When a product includes a manufacturer warranty, keep its product information, registration details and terms. Manufacturer coverage belongs to the product; any workmanship responsibility should be stated separately in the project agreement.
03
Protection and documented changes
We protect access areas, document changes and carry insurance for the work we perform. If property is damaged, the issue is documented and handled under the project agreement and applicable coverage.
04
Closeout you can use
At handover, keep the final scope, approved changes, inspection records, product information, care instructions and the right contact for any follow-up.
Questions to take into your Piqua project conversation
Confirm first
- Shower or tub layout, drain location, valve, niche and glass requirements
- Waterproofing system, shower pan, wall preparation and ventilation path
- Fixture sizes, vanity storage, lighting, mirror and accessibility needs
- How long the bathroom will be unavailable and what happens if framing is damaged
What moves the number
- Keeping or moving the drain, supply lines and electrical
- Shower complexity, waterproofing, tile pattern and glass
- Fixtures, vanity, countertop, lighting and finish selections
- Moisture, framing or subfloor repairs found after demolition
Planning ranges are starting points, not quotes. Final scope, selections, property conditions, approvals and written assumptions control the real project price.

Product warranty record

Bathroom Remodeling questions we get asked
What Piqua review matters if a bathroom changes an exterior wall?
Piqua's residential application asks for site and elevation information and historic-resource status. Confirm whether the new window, vent or exterior alteration requires zoning or historic review, in addition to the interior trade scope.
Does the age of homes in Piqua change bathroom remodeling?
Yes. About 77% of Piqua's 9,311 housing units, roughly 7,180 homes, were built before 1980, when lead paint and cast iron drains were still common. That share is the 3rd highest of the 12 communities we serve. Reserve an allowance for subfloor and drain repair, and ask how lead-safe work practices are handled in a house built before 1978.
