Three levels of bathroom project
- Refresh — paint, mirror, lighting fixture swap, hardware, caulk.
- Update — new vanity, toilet, flooring, tub or shower surround.
- Remodel — layout changes, moving fixtures, full tile showers.
The further down the list, the more likely it involves plumbing, electrical and permits.
Moisture is the big concern
Bathrooms are where hidden water damage tends to hide: around toilets, under tubs and behind shower walls. Soft floors, loose tile and swollen trim are clues. See subfloor repair and tile repair.
Ventilation
A working exhaust fan helps paint, caulk and finishes last in Georgia humidity. Fan installation or rewiring is electrical work and should be handled by a qualified electrician where required.
Accessibility
Grab bar backing, wider doors and curbless showers are easier to plan in during a remodel.
What to send
Photos of the whole room, what you want to change, and what you want to keep.
Common questions
Can you change my tub to a walk-in shower?
It is a common request. It usually involves plumbing changes and waterproofing, so responsibilities for each part need to be clear.
What if damage is found once the floor is up?
Concealed damage is common in bathrooms. Agree up front how surprises will be discussed and handled.
