Tubs, showers and whole rooms

Bathroom Remodel for Shiloh Homes

Half the houses in Shiloh went up in 1960 or before, and plenty still have the bathroom they were built with. We remodel those rooms, from a new shower to a full rebuild.

What We Do Here

Bathroom remodel in Shiloh

In Shiloh we remodel bathrooms in owner-lived homes and rental properties alike, from a new shower or tub to a full rebuild of the room.

The house usually sets the job. With half of Shiloh built in 1960 or earlier, the bathroom we walk into is often the original one: a tub with a shower over it, tile set when the house was new, and supply and drain lines in the wall from the same year. More than half the occupied homes here are rented, so we remodel for landlords as readily as for owners living in the house.

The bathroom jobs we take on in Shiloh houses:

  • Shower remodelWe strip a tired shower back to the framing and build the new one on a fresh shower pan.
  • Bathtub replacementA worn tub out, and a new alcove, freestanding or one-piece tub in its place.
  • Tub to shower conversionThe original tub goes and a walk-in shower takes its spot, with the drain and valve relocated to fit it.
  • One day bathroom remodelNew acrylic walls and a base go over a tub or shower that still drains and seals but has seen better years.
  • ADA bathroom remodelGrab bars, a "curbless shower" and "comfort-height fixtures", so the bathroom stays safe to use as you age in the house.

In Order

How the remodel runs in Shiloh homes

Every Shiloh remodel follows one fixed order: demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, inspection, waterproofing, tile, fixtures and finish.

What changes in an older house is what demolition turns up. In a house from around 1960, pulling the original tile can expose rotted framing, a soft subfloor or old water damage; we write that repair down with its cost, and nothing proceeds until you sign off on it.

No stage begins before the previous one is finished:

  1. Demolition

    Out come the original tub, surround, tile and fixtures, opened to the studs wherever the new work calls for it.

  2. Rough plumbing and electrical

    The "rough-in": with the walls open, we run new supply and drain lines and any new wiring.

  3. Inspection

    If the job needs a permit, an inspector checks the rough-in before any wall is closed up.

  4. Waterproofing

    "Cement board" is hung, the "waterproofing membrane" covers it, and the shower pan gets its slope toward the drain.

  5. Tile

    Floor and wall tile go down and get grouted, or wall panels go up if that is what you picked.

  6. Fixtures

    We install and hook up the vanity, toilet, valve trim, glass and lighting.

  7. Finish

    Paint, caulk, a final walk-through with you, then the room is cleaned before we go.

The First Question

What Shiloh homeowners ask first

Cost can be the first question before a remodel, and the answer starts with scope and fixtures rather than floor area.

Leaving the drain, supply lines and wiring in their old spots keeps the price lower, and relocating them pushes it up. In an original Shiloh bathroom, a "surround replacement" around the existing tub runs cheaper than a tub to shower conversion that calls for a new rough-in.

Where We Work

Bathroom remodel across Shiloh neighborhoods

We take jobs all over Shiloh, and the nearby towns below each have a page of their own.

That takes in Mumma Estates, Winding Ridge and the streets around Algoma Street, the houses either side of Main Street, where Ohio State Route 48 runs through the middle of town, and the streets on the Stillwater River side. Homes just past the town line get the same estimate visit.

You call, we visit your Shiloh house to measure up and go over materials, and a written quote reaches you before anything is scheduled.

We price from the room itself, because an accurate number needs the bathroom measured and the materials talked through in person.

  1. You call

    Describe the bathroom and what bothers you about it. If we miss the call, we ring back that same working day, Monday to Saturday.

  2. We come out and measure

    We measure the room, look at the drain and the valve wall, and go through tile, panels and fixtures with you.

  3. You get the quote in writing

    Every item of the job listed with its price, before a start date is set.

Questions

Cost questions we hear in Shiloh

What is a realistic budget for a bathroom remodel?

A realistic budget follows the scope and the fixtures you pick more than the size of the room. In a Shiloh house from around 1960, it also leaves room for any framing or subfloor repair that demolition turns up.

Our bathroom remodel cost guide covers what moves the number in full.

Can I renovate a bathroom for $5000?

The answer turns on scope: new walls around the existing tub cost less than a full tub-to-shower conversion with a new plumbing rough-in.

Tell us your budget on the call, and the written quote shows what fits it before any work starts. Our guide to bathroom remodel cost lays out what each kind of job involves.
