Drive through Dunwoody's 1970s and 80s subdivisions — the streets near Perimeter Mall, Dunwoody Village, and Brook Run Park — and you will find a lot of bathrooms that have not changed since the subdivision was new. Cultured marble vanity tops, honey-oak cabinets, and almond fiberglass tub-shower units. They were fine in 1985. Forty years later, the most useful thing you can do in many of these baths is a tub to shower conversion near Dunwoody.
Tub to Shower Conversions for Dunwoody Subdivisions
Alpine Development Groups LLC is based in Austell, GA, and we serve Dunwoody as a bathroom contractor GA homeowners call to bring a dated bath into the present. A tub to shower conversion removes the old fiberglass unit and everything tired around it, then rebuilds the alcove as a proper walk-in shower: waterproofed base, correctly sloped pan, low threshold, and tile you choose — large-format porcelain for a clean modern look, or a classic pattern if the house leans traditional. The room instantly feels bigger, and the shower is easier to enter and simpler to keep clean.
Many Dunwoody projects pair the conversion with a full bathroom remodel. The 70s and 80s primary suites here are often generous in size but builder-grade in every finish, and once we are rebuilding the shower it makes sense to address the vanity, the flooring, the lighting, and the plumbing at the same time. A bathroom renovation in Dunwoody done this way gives you a primary bath that finally matches the rest of a well-kept home.
Updating 1970s and 80s Primary Baths
As a custom shower installer GA homeowners rely on for the details, we also build custom tile showers from scratch — curbless entries, benches, niches placed where you actually use them — and we set every one on a waterproofing system we stand behind. No shower we build depends on caulk to stay dry.
Custom Tile Showers With Real Waterproofing
Our small bathroom and powder room remodels take care of the secondary baths that date these subdivisions. The hall bath the kids use, the powder room off the foyer — we rebuild them with updated vanities, better lighting, and finishes that lift the whole house's impression. Small rooms, done right, punch above their weight in daily life and at resale.

Who does tub to shower conversions in Dunwoody?

How do I update a 1980s Dunwoody bathroom without gutting it?
Sometimes a full gut is the honest answer, but not always. If the plumbing and subfloor are sound, we can sometimes keep the layout and focus on the shower, vanity, and finishes. We will tell you straight during the consultation which approach your bathroom actually needs — we do not sell work a room does not need.
What tile works best for a Dunwoody primary shower?
Large-format porcelain is the most popular choice — fewer grout lines, easy to clean, and a clean modern look that suits updated Dunwoody homes. For houses leaning traditional, classic subway or a soft stone-look tile works well. Either way, the tile matters less than the waterproofing underneath, which we build to last.
Do you remodel hall bathrooms in Dunwoody?
Yes. The secondary baths in Dunwoody's 70s and 80s subdivisions — the kids' hall bath, the guest bath — get the same careful rebuild as a primary suite: updated shower or tub, right-sized vanity, better light, and finishes that bring the room current. Done well, they lift the whole house.
