Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown, TX

In the historic blocks around the square, bathrooms were added to houses that never had them. They sit over crawlspaces, which is a gift: drains and supply lines are reachable from below, so moving a toilet or a shower does not mean cutting a slab. The downside is what the years did. Rotted subfloor under the tub, galvanized supply that has narrowed to a pencil, and a floor that slopes toward the door. We fix the structure first.

Sun City baths are single-story, on a slab, and built from the mid-1990s on. Most have a walk-in shower with a four-inch curb, grab bars added later, and a garden tub that has not been filled in years. Berry Creek customs from the 1980s and 90s have the big tiled tub platform and the mirrored wall. Wolf Ranch is new enough that the plumbing is PEX and the panel has room, but the tile is the thinnest the builder could buy.

Sun City is where most of our Georgetown bathroom remodels happen, and most of them are zero-step showers. The curb goes, the floor is recessed so water runs to a linear drain, and the tub footprint becomes either a longer shower or a seated dressing area. Grab bars get set into blocking we add during framing, placed where you will reach for them, and they come in finishes that match the faucets. Heated floors go in more often here than anywhere else we work.

In Old Town we rebuild from the joists up. New subfloor, new drains and supply run through the crawlspace, a proper waterproofing system, and tile that suits a hundred-year-old house. Clawfoot tubs stay when they are sound. In Wolf Ranch and Berry Creek the primary bath gets the finish-level rebuild: tub platform out, larger shower in, a vanity with drawers, and lighting you can shave by.

Bathroom work that moves plumbing or adds circuits is permitted through the City of Georgetown. We file it and meet the inspectors. Interior bath remodels in the historic overlay do not usually need historic review, but a new window or exterior vent might, so we ask the city before promising a date. Some Berry Creek sections and a few addresses outside the loop are in Williamson County rather than the city, and we confirm the jurisdiction from your address before filing.

Sun City's community association reviews exterior changes, not bathrooms, and most Wolf Ranch work is the same. Georgetown is a longer drive from the Austin tile and glass vendors, so we batch deliveries and measure glass the day tile is done. A primary bath runs 4 to 6 weeks, a hall bath 3 to 4, and glass adds about two weeks at the end. Price is fixed in writing before demo.
