Bathroom Remodeling: Fifth Ward, Harris County
Waterproofing done right — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches bathroom remodeling, and it does not change between the Fifth Ward area of Houston and anywhere else we work. What does change is the house: a shower that was not waterproofed properly is the most expensive thing we get called back to fix in this area, so the scope gets set on site.
Our Bathroom Remodeling scope in Fifth Ward
- Scope agreed, then demolition to the studs where needed
- Framing and rough-in corrected before board goes up
- Shower pan and walls waterproofed and flood-tested
- Tile set on proper substrate
- Vanity, fixtures, trim and paint to finish
Homes in Fifth Ward share the conditions of the surrounding Harris County communities: the same soils, the same weather load, the same building eras. Older homes here often have galvanised supply lines that are worth replacing while the wall is open.
The process is deliberately boring. Estimate first, in person and free. Scope second, in writing. Then the bathroom remodeling itself, and finally a walk of the finished work with you at your Fifth Ward home before the job is called done.
