Question 1

Can you keep my original tile?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. Hex and subway tile in good shape can often be lifted and reused, but old tile is brittle and the walls behind it rarely are sound. When it cannot be saved, we match the size, color and pattern closely. We tell you which it will be after we see the room.

Question 2

Will a modern shower fit in my small bathroom?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. Many older baths have a tub along one wall that can become a walk-in shower with a low threshold and a glass panel. We measure first and show you the layout before anything is ordered.

Question 3

Can I have a clawfoot tub?

Accepted Answer

If the floor can carry it and the room is wide enough to walk around it, yes. Cast-iron tubs are heavy, so we check the framing under the floor. Where it will not fit, a deep soaking tub in a similar shape is a good option.

Question 4

What do you find behind the walls of a 1920s house?

Accepted Answer

Often old galvanized or lead-era supply lines, cast-iron drains, plaster over lath, and wiring that has been added to over decades. We replace what is worn out and tell you what we found as we go.

Question 5

How long will my bathroom be out of use?

Accepted Answer

A full bathroom usually takes several weeks on site, depending on the plumbing and the tile. If it is your only bath, we talk through a plan up front so you are not caught without one longer than you must be.

Question 6

Do you work on 1950s and 60s ranches too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tanglewood and Westcliff are full of well-built ranches with small baths, pink or yellow tile and tired plumbing. We update them with larger showers, better light and clean modern finishes.
