Lynnette, Thanks for your quick reply. I figured I would be waiting 'til next never to talk to anyone from the state board. As far as my township goes, we have no restrictions or codes that I know of, but I will definately check that before we begin. Thanks for the info! Lisa

Before you do any renovations, check with your borough/township to be sure you are up to code with them. Your bathroom may need to b ADA compliant, as well as your doorways and parking. -- Unless it was already a commercial business. I had our boro inspector tell me that my new powder room had to be ADA. I fought it because this was already an existing business. Putting an ADA powder room made no sense because the entrance was not even accessible by wheelchair. (NO common sense or brains with most of those people) Anyway, since you are starting from scratch, get their info first. The PA state board will be pretty lenient with the depth as long as you have the square footage. As for them to get back to you-- good luck. They never reply to anything I e-mail and forget the phone. Please let me know what you do. This is the fun part of starting your own salon!!

My husband is about to start on my home salon. It will be in the garage. It is 24 x 40 but he is going to remodel a section to give me about 200-250 square feet, not counting the bathroom that is already there. I emailed the state board to see whether I can fax them a plan of how we are going to build it beforehand to see if it meets requirements. It's been over a week and I have not gotten a response. Would calling them be better? I figured that they would reply more quickly by email--but that hasn't been the case. I know that it has to be a minimum of 10 feet wide. There is an issue with the garage door that he will have to angle the wall at the garage door to be less than 10 feet then it will get wider again (10-12 feet) in the main salon area. Do you know if that is allowed or does the whole salon have to be a minimum of 10 feet wide? Just was hoping someone could tell me before I am able to talk to the state board or is there a state board inspector I could contact that may be able to help us? Thanks a bunch!
