SMALL BATHROOM REPAIRS AND REMODELS
A newly repaired or remodeled bathroom is a great marketing tool for selling a home. However, homeowners shouldn't wait until they get ready to move before they improve a bathroom. A few changes in a bathroom can remake the setting into a relaxing and worry-free environment.
SINGLE STORY BRICK HOMES
Nashville and it's surrounding communities have a large number of single story brick homes built in the 1950s and 1960s on the outskirts of the downtown core. Their floor plans are nearly identical, especially their bathroom design. We know they are solid homes (Nate lives in one), but many are in desperate need of updating.
Even though homeowners have updated the wall paint in rooms, replaced the roof, changed the flooring, and swapped out furniture throughout the years, their bathroom has remained the same. Unfortunately, most of these bathrooms are missing modern features like:
Instead, the bathrooms have the original:
It is also very likely that water leaks over the years have caused extensive water damage to the subfloor, floor joists, and wall studs surrounding the tub and toilet. In addition, poor moisture management from shower steam due to the lack of proper venting has created water stains on the walls or even varying stages of mildew and mold on the ceiling.
Our experience over the years has revealed that a homeowner can make a significant improvement in their quality of life by repairing or remodeling these original bathrooms.

- Exhaust fans and overhead lights
- GFCI outlets
- Fiberglass or acrylic shower tubs and enclosures
- New vanity finishes
- Storage space
Instead, the bathrooms have the original:
- Cast iron tub and tile surrounds
- Vanity light/outlet combination
- Old tile floor and vanity top
- Original water shutoff valves
