What bathroom projects in Buffalo actually take
Buffalo's Northeast winters push humidity into wall cavities, so ventilation sized to the actual room and vented fully outside is the difference between a bath that lasts and one that grows mold behind the tile. Where plumbing runs through exterior walls, Buffalo's Northeast winters make freeze protection part of the design from the first drawing.
