Behind your walls
Postwar homes with small, closed kitchens
The typical home in Reading was built in 1956. 61% of homes here went up before 1960: capes, brick ranches and split levels.
The kitchen in these houses is small and walled off from the dining room. The most common change is taking that wall out. Many of them carry the roof or the floor above, so a beam and a permit come with it.
Wiring from this era is often two prong and undersized for a modern kitchen. Budget for new circuits even if you keep the layout.
Reading and the towns next to it
Reading is its own city. Some cities here run their own building office and some contract with Hamilton County, so the contractor confirms who issues the permit before your price is final. New circuits, moved plumbing or a wall coming out need one.
