Bathroom Remodeling in Loganville & Monroe, GA

What Our Bathroom Remodels Include

Most bathroom projects we plan fall somewhere between a refresh and a full gut. A refresh might mean a new vanity, fixtures, lighting and floor tile in the existing layout. A full remodel opens the walls and floor so the shower, tub and plumbing can be rebuilt properly — and that is where most of the long-term value is.

Because flooring and tile are our core trade, the wet areas get the attention they need: a sound, flat substrate, the right setting materials, and waterproofing that is tested before tile goes over it.

• Walk-in tile showers and shower remodels
• Tub-to-shower conversions and bathtub installation
• Vanities, fixtures, mirrors and lighting
• Waterproof floor tile and luxury vinyl plank
• Subfloor repair under old, leaking or soft bathroom floors
• Drywall, paint and trim to finish the room

Waterproofing Is the Part That Matters Most

Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own. What keeps water out of the wall cavity and subfloor is the system underneath — a properly sloped shower pan, a continuous waterproof membrane on the walls and floor, and sealed seams at the niche, bench and valve. When a shower fails after a few years, this is almost always the reason.

We flood-test shower pans where the system calls for it, keep the membrane continuous through corners and penetrations, and check that the bathroom exhaust fan is ducted outdoors instead of into the attic. In a climate with roughly 51 inches of rain a year and muggy summers, that fan is the difference between a dry bathroom and one that grows mildew in the grout.

Bathroom Remodel Mistakes We Help You Avoid

The upgrades homeowners most often regret are rarely about style — they are about function. We walk through these during the estimate so they get decided on paper, not after the tile is set.

• Glossy floor tile that gets slick when wet — we spec a slip-resistant finish for floors
• Skipping or patching the waterproofing to save time
• An exhaust fan that is undersized or vents into the attic
• Removing the only bathtub in the house without thinking about resale
• Too little storage once the old vanity and linen space are gone
• Lighting that leaves shadows at the mirror

Older Homes, Permits and Planning

Many Loganville and Monroe homes from the 1960s through the 1990s hide old cast-iron or galvanized lines, soft subfloor around the toilet, or a tub that was never properly supported. We open the floor where the signs point to it, document what we find, and adjust the scope in writing before work continues.

Loganville sits in both Walton and Gwinnett counties, so the permit office depends on the address. When plumbing, electrical or structural changes are involved, we confirm the permit requirements before demolition. In pre-1978 homes, lead-safe renovation rules can apply to the work, and we plan for them up front.
