Bathroom Remodeling in Woodstock, GA

Bathroom Remodeling for Woodstock homes

The core of the stock is the Towne Lake build-out that began in the late 1980s: Eagle Watch, developed by Arvida around an Arnold Palmer golf course and filled in through the early 1990s, then Towne Lake Hills around the Arthur Hills course that opened in 1994, with Wyngate, Rose Creek and the rest following. These are mostly two-story traditional houses, often brick or stone on the front with lap siding on the sides and rear, set on rolling, wooded ground that drains toward Noonday Creek and the Little River arm of the lake. That grade is why so many have full or partial basements, some daylight or walkout, a lot of them still unfinished, and why tall rear decks are common. Downtown is the other end of the range: the Dean House from 1875, the 1894 Century House and early-1900s frame houses along streets like Rope Mill Road, now ringed by the townhomes and small-lot houses of the newer downtown build-out. The old houses mean wood clapboard, plaster and old paint layers; the new ones mean early repaints and finish upgrades.

Bathroom Remodeling on Woodstock houses

Woodstock bath remodels are mostly the primary baths of the Towne Lake houses: a corner garden tub nobody uses, a cramped fiberglass shower stall, a cultured-marble vanity top and a toilet in its own small closet. The common ask is to pull the tub and build a larger tiled shower, often with a bench and glass, plus a double vanity with real storage. Upstairs hall baths follow, and so do basements, many of which were plumbed with a rough-in for a future bath that never got built. Downtown, the early-1900s houses have small baths over uneven floors and older drain lines, and the townhomes have newer baths that only need updating.

What usually gets missed

On a tub-to-shower conversion the miss is the floor under the old tub and where the drain sits. Garden tubs on the upper level often sat over joists notched for the drain, and a new shower pan needs a flat, stiff floor and a drain at the right slope. We open the floor and check the framing before setting the pan. In the basement, the rough-in is checked for where it ties in and whether it falls correctly before anyone frames walls around it.
