Bathroom renovation in Acworth, Georgia

Humidity is part of life near Lake Allatoona, and bathrooms show it first. We often find exhaust fans that vent into the attic instead of outdoors, ceiling paint peeling above the shower, and mildew on the back of vanity doors. In a basement bathroom, the slab and walls add moisture of their own.

Basement bathrooms

Many Acworth basements were built with a bathroom rough-in: a few pipes in the slab and nothing else. Before planning around it, we confirm that the drain is actually connected, sloped correctly, and vented. If the rough-in is unusable, we tell you and price the alternative. We also make sure the bathroom has a fan ducted outdoors and that basement moisture has been addressed before walls are closed.

Upstairs showers

In the 1980s and 1990s houses common around Acworth, the primary shower often has a pan that is starting to leak. We open it, repair any damaged subfloor, and rebuild with a sloped pan, bonded membrane, and flood test. For a curbless shower, the floor framing has to be lowered or built up so the floor slopes to the drain, and whether that is practical depends on the joists. We check before you choose tile.

Permits

Permits come from the City of Acworth, Cobb County, or Cherokee County, depending on where the property is. The proposal names the right office.
