College Park keeps its past close. Virginia Avenue still runs past early-1900s bungalows and brick commercial buildings, and the MARTA station puts the whole metro within easy reach while the airport hums just south of town. Many of the houses here were framed when indoor plumbing was still a luxury, which means their bathrooms tend to be small, oddly arranged, and layered with a century of quick fixes.
Remodeling Historic Bungalow Bathrooms in College Park
That is exactly where a full bathroom remodel earns its keep. We gut the space down to the framing when it needs it, address the plumbing and wiring honestly, and rebuild from a clean, level starting point. Old cast iron drains get replaced, water lines get brought up to modern material, and floors get properly prepared before a single tile is set.
Bungalow bathrooms reward careful layout work. A few inches reclaimed from a closet or a hallway can turn a cramped water closet into a room that actually works in the morning. We talk through how you use the space, what storage you are missing, and whether a double vanity or a linen niche would change your routine, then we draw the plan around your life instead of around the existing walls.
What a Full Bathroom Remodel Includes
Tile is where these rooms get their character. Subway tile with dark grout nods to the era of the house without turning it into a museum. Hexagon floor tile, a properly pitched shower pan, and niches set at usable heights make the room feel both period-correct and brand new.
Many College Park homeowners also ask us about converting an unused tub into a walk-in shower. In a house where the only full bath is tight, a curbless or low-curb shower with a bench and a handheld wand changes daily life more than any fixture swap. We build the pan ourselves, waterproof every seam, and set tile that will outlast whatever trend comes next.
Custom Tile Showers and Walk-In Showers
Smaller jobs get the same attention. A powder room off the front hall or a hall bath serving two bedrooms can be remade with new tile, a solid vanity, and lighting that flatters instead of interrogates. Small rooms show sloppy work fastest, so we treat them as precision jobs.
We are material-first people. That means cement board where it belongs, mortar mixed to the right consistency, and grout sealed after it cures. It means vanities that are actually square and faucets chosen for how they feel in the hand, not just how they photograph.
