Bathroom Remodeling Built for Wilmington Homes

In Wilmington's older neighborhoods the bathroom was frequently added after the house was built, tucked over a kitchen addition or carved out of a rear bedroom. That means undersized joists, a floor that slopes toward the exterior wall, galvanized or lead-transitioned supply, and hex tile set in mud over a subfloor that's now soft near the tub.

Our approach is to open it up and correct what's underneath before any tile goes down, sistering joists, re-plumbing to the stack, adding a vented fan where there's never been one, and building a bonded waterproof assembly. Above the waterline we can go either direction: period-correct hex and subway that looks original to a 1915 Trolley Square home, or a clean stone-and-glass primary bath for a Riverfront condo. Wilmington is a twenty-minute run for our crews, so schedules hold.

Wilmington row homes often share a single cast-iron soil stack, so we route new bath venting through the existing roof penetration rather than cutting a new one. That is the difference between a bathroom that works for thirty years and one that gurgles every time the upstairs neighbor flushes.
