Licensed local crew serving Heights Boulevard and Riverbend
Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown TX in San Gabriel Heights means tearing out a tired 1980s tub surround and replacing it with waterproofed tile, a quartz vanity, and ventilation that actually clears the steam. We have worked this neighborhood since 2013, so we know the older homes along Heights Boulevard, the river humidity near San Gabriel Park, and what Williamson County inspectors expect. One crew, one schedule, one point of contact from demo to final caulk.

San Gabriel Heights has a mix of original owners and younger families moving in, and both groups call us for the same reason: the bathrooms are original and starting to fail. The hot, humid climate here pushes exhaust fans past their limits, and the older plumbing behind the walls does not always match what the fixture boxes say. We keep a crew assigned to this side of Georgetown so we can get to a leaking shower or a running toilet the same week you call. That proximity matters when water is already soaking into a subfloor.
Our first San Gabriel Heights job was a tub-to-shower conversion on a 1978 ranch house near the river. The homeowner referred us to two neighbors, and that is how this part of our business grew. Thirteen years later we still get most of our work here from referrals, which is why we treat every bathroom like the neighbors are watching. We know which streets have slab foundations, which ones have pier and beam, and where the shutoff valves tend to be. That local knowledge saves time and prevents surprises.
Every service we offer is available in San Gabriel Heights, from a single vanity swap to a full gut remodel. Most calls here start with a failing shower pan, a vanity that has swollen from moisture, or a fan that stopped pulling steam years ago. If you have been searching for Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown TX in San Gabriel Heights near me, we are the local crew that shows up in a marked truck and finishes what we start.
A full remodel in San Gabriel Heights usually means taking the room down to studs, replacing the cast iron drain with PVC, and rebuilding with cement backer board and a waterproofing membrane. We handle layout changes, permits through Williamson County, and every trade so you are not coordinating plumbers and tile guys yourself.
Renovation is the right call when the layout works but the finishes are dated. In San Gabriel Heights we swap cultured marble for porcelain tile, replace oak vanities with a quartz countertop, and upgrade the exhaust fan to a Broan or Panasonic unit sized for the room. Most renovations here finish in two to three weeks.
Shower remodels in San Gabriel Heights often start because the original pan is leaking into the ceiling below. We tear out the old pan, correct the slope, install a Schluter waterproofing system, and set new tile with a wet saw for clean cuts around the valve. Glass panels go in at the end.
If your tub is stained, chipped, or too deep to step into safely, we can refinish or replace it. In the older homes along Heights Boulevard we often find tubs set into a mortar bed, which takes more care to remove without damaging the surrounding tile and framing. We handle both.
Walk-in tubs are popular with San Gabriel Heights homeowners who want to age in place. We verify the door swing, reinforce the subfloor if needed, and run the drain and supply lines to match the tub's requirements. Most installs take two to three days once the tub arrives.
Tile work in San Gabriel Heights means dealing with slab movement and humidity. We use a wet saw for precise cuts, tile spacers for consistent joints, and a grout float to pack the grout evenly. Porcelain tile from Daltile or MSI holds up better here than natural stone in a steamy bathroom.
A new vanity cabinet changes the whole room. We measure for the plumbing rough-in, level the cabinet, and set a quartz or granite countertop on top. In San Gabriel Heights we often find the old vanity was not secured to the wall, so we add blocking before the new one goes in.
Bathroom floors here take a beating from humidity and slab movement. We install porcelain or ceramic tile over a properly prepped substrate, and we check for cracks in the slab before we start. A moisture meter reading tells us whether we need a membrane under the tile.
Quartz is the most common choice in San Gabriel Heights because it handles moisture without sealing. We template the countertop after the vanity is set, cut the sink opening with a hole saw, and seal the edges with silicone caulk. Granite is also available if you prefer the natural look.
A running toilet or a wax ring that has failed can cause real water damage. We pull the old toilet, inspect the flange, replace the PVC drain pipe if it is cracked, and set a new Kohler or Toto toilet with a fresh wax ring and new supply line. Most installs take under two hours.
Undermount sinks are the standard in San Gabriel Heights remodels, but they require a solid countertop and precise cutouts. We set the sink with silicone caulk, connect the PEX piping, and test for leaks before we leave. Drop-in sinks are also available if you prefer.
A leaking faucet wastes water and stains the countertop. We install Moen, Delta, and Kohler faucets, and we check the shutoff valves while we are under the sink. In older San Gabriel Heights homes those valves often fail when you touch them, so we replace them at the same time.
Frameless glass shower doors are the most requested upgrade in San Gabriel Heights. We measure after the tile is set, order the glass to fit, and install it with the proper hardware and a bead of silicone caulk. The result is a cleaner look and easier cleaning.
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower is one of our most common jobs in San Gabriel Heights. We remove the tub, cap the drain, and build a tiled shower with a bench and a linear drain. This is a good option if you want more usable space and easier access.
For homeowners who need grab bars, a curbless shower, or a taller toilet, we build the bathroom to ADA compliance standards. In San Gabriel Heights this often means widening the door and reinforcing the walls for grab bars. We handle the whole scope so the room works for you.
Storage is always tight in these older bathrooms. We add a linen cabinet, a recessed medicine cabinet, or drawers in the vanity to make the room work better. In San Gabriel Heights we often find dead space behind the wall that can be used for a recessed cabinet.
An exhaust fan that does not remove steam is the root cause of most mold and mildew problems in San Gabriel Heights. We size the fan to the room, run the exhaust fan duct to the outside, and make sure the damper closes tight. Panasonic and Broan fans are our go-to units.
Waterproofing is the step most DIY remodels skip, and it is the one that matters most in a humid climate. We install a waterproofing membrane over cement backer board in every shower and tub surround. This keeps water out of the framing and prevents the mold issues common in older San Gabriel Heights homes.
Greenboard drywall is the right choice for bathroom walls, and we use it in every San Gabriel Heights remodel. After the drywall is up, we tape, float, and paint with a moisture-resistant finish. This is usually the last step before the fixtures go back in.
Every project in San Gabriel Heights starts with a walkthrough and a written scope. We check the shutoff valves, look at the drain material, and take a moisture meter reading before we quote. If the home was built before 1978, we follow EPA Lead-Safe Certification rules during demo. Permits for plumbing and electrical changes go through Williamson County, and we pull them in our name. Most jobs here run two to four weeks depending on tile and fixture lead times. We schedule deliveries for the morning to avoid blocking driveways on Heights Boulevard, and we keep a dumpster in one spot for the duration of the job. If you need affordable Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown TX in San Gabriel Heights, we will give you a clear number before we start.
We run a dehumidifier during the tile phase and verify the exhaust fan moves at least 1 CFM per square foot of bathroom. If the existing fan is undersized, we replace it before the new tile goes in.
We scope the drain before demo. If it is cast iron and showing scale, we replace it with PVC drain pipe back to the stack. This adds a day to the schedule but prevents a slab leak later.
We check for existing cracks and use a crack isolation membrane under the tile in rooms with visible slab movement. This lets the tile move independently of the slab and keeps the grout lines intact.
We work across San Gabriel Heights and the streets that feed into it. Most of our jobs are within a ten-minute drive of the river, which means we can check on a project, drop off materials, or handle a punch-list item without losing a day. Here are the areas we know best.

We had a leaking shower that had already damaged the ceiling below. The crew from Georgetown Bath Remodel Pros tore it out, replaced the drain, and waterproofed everything properly. They were on time every day and cleaned up before they left. The new tile looks great and we have not had a single issue since.

Our vanity was falling apart and the faucet had been dripping for months. They replaced the vanity, added a quartz countertop, and fixed the shutoff valves while they were in there. The price was fair and the work was done in four days. I would use them again for the other bathroom.
— David K.
We needed a walk-in shower because my husband could not step over the tub anymore. The team built a beautiful curbless shower with a bench and grab bars. They were patient with our questions and made sure everything was safe. The only delay was waiting on the glass door, but they kept us informed.

These are three recent jobs we completed in San Gabriel Heights. Each one shows how we handle the specific issues that come up in this neighborhood, from cast iron drains to humidity-driven mold. Names and exact addresses are withheld, but the details are real.
A 1978 ranch near Riverbend had a shower pan leaking into the ceiling below. The original cast iron drain was cracked and the tile was set directly on drywall.
We tore out the shower to the studs, replaced the cast iron drain with PVC drain pipe, installed cement backer board and a Schluter waterproofing membrane, and set new porcelain tile with a wet saw. A new Panasonic exhaust fan was added to handle the river humidity.
The leak stopped, the ceiling below dried out, and the homeowner now has a shower that will last decades. Project took 11 days from demo to final caulk.
A Heights Boulevard home had a vanity that had swollen and separated from the wall due to years of moisture. The countertop was cracked and the faucet was leaking into the cabinet.
We removed the old vanity, added blocking to the wall, installed a new vanity cabinet with a quartz countertop, and set a Moen faucet with new PEX piping. We also replaced the shutoff valves, which were frozen open.
The new vanity is solid, the leak is gone, and the customer added a recessed medicine cabinet for extra storage. Completed in four days.
A home near San Gabriel Park had a tub that was too deep for the homeowner to step into safely. They wanted a walk-in shower with a bench and grab bars.
We removed the tub, capped the drain, and built a curbless tiled shower with a linear drain, a bench, and blocking for grab bars. The shower was waterproofed with a membrane and finished with porcelain tile. We also widened the door to 32 inches.
The homeowner can now shower safely without stepping over a tub. The project met ADA compliance standards and passed inspection on the first visit.
Bathrooms rarely fail all at once. They give you warnings first, and if you catch them early you can avoid water damage and mold. If you have been searching for Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown TX in San Gabriel Heights 24/7, here are the signs that mean it is time to call. We see these every week in San Gabriel Heights, especially in homes near the river.
If the mirror is still fogged ten minutes after a shower, the fan is undersized or the duct is blocked. In San Gabriel Heights humidity, that trapped moisture feeds mold in the walls and ceiling. Replacing the fan is a small job that prevents a big one.
Cracked tile usually means the substrate has moved or water has gotten behind the tile. In San Gabriel Heights, slab movement and moisture are both common causes. If you see cracks spreading, the waterproofing has likely failed.
A musty smell means mold is growing somewhere, usually behind the walls or under the floor. In a humid climate like ours, this happens fast. We find the source with a moisture meter and fix the ventilation and waterproofing.
A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a month and a leaking faucet stains the countertop. Both are usually simple fixes, but if the shutoff valves are frozen, we replace them at the same time. Do not wait on these.
If your bathroom still has the original 1980s fixtures, you are living with poor water pressure and dim lighting. Upgrading to a Kohler or Moen fixture and adding a vanity light makes the room safer and more enjoyable. This is the most common reason people call us.
San Gabriel Heights has a specific set of bathroom problems that come from its age, its climate, and its proximity to the river. The homes here were built mostly between 1970 and 1995, and the original materials are at the end of their life. Add in the hot, humid summers and the clay soil, and you get a predictable list of issues. Our San Gabriel Heights Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown TX work is built around solving these four problems.
Why it happens here
The original exhaust fans in these homes were sized for a smaller bathroom and vented into the attic instead of outside. With San Gabriel Heights humidity, that moisture has nowhere to go.
Our approach
We size the new fan to the room, run the exhaust fan duct to an exterior cap, and verify the airflow with a meter. We also use greenboard drywall and a moisture-resistant paint finish.
Why it happens here
Older showers were built with a lead pan or a thin rubber liner that has cracked over time. The tile was often set on drywall, which turns to mush when it gets wet.
Our approach
We rebuild the shower with cement backer board and a Schluter waterproofing membrane. The pan is sloped correctly and tested before tile goes on. This is the only way to guarantee no leaks.
Why it happens here
Cast iron drains from the 1970s corrode from the inside out. By the time you notice a slow drain, the pipe is often cracked or scaled shut.
Our approach
We scope the drain before demo. If it is failing, we replace it with PVC drain pipe back to the stack. This adds a day but prevents a slab leak that would cost far more to fix.
Why it happens here
The clay soil in Williamson County expands and contracts with moisture, and that movement transfers through the slab. Tile cracks along the grout lines first.
Our approach
We use a crack isolation membrane under the tile in rooms with visible slab movement. This lets the tile float independently and keeps the grout lines from cracking.
San Gabriel Heights has a hot, humid climate that shapes when and how we remodel bathrooms. Summer is the busiest season for us because that is when ventilation problems show up. Winter brings its own issues with frozen pipes. Here is what to expect through the year if you are planning a Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown TX in San Gabriel Heights project.
Spring rains raise the water table and expose existing leaks. If your shower pan is failing, you will see it now. This is also a good time to schedule a remodel before the summer rush.
Tip
Check under the sink and around the toilet for soft spots. If you find any, call us before the summer humidity makes it worse.
Summer is peak season for mold and mildew calls in San Gabriel Heights. The heat and humidity overwhelm weak exhaust fans, and bathrooms without proper ventilation grow mold fast.
Tip
Run your exhaust fan for 20 minutes after every shower. If the mirror still fogs, your fan needs an upgrade. Schedule a ventilation check before the mold starts.
Fall is the best time to remodel in San Gabriel Heights. The weather is mild, humidity drops, and we can open windows during demo. Tile and grout cure faster in these conditions.
Tip
Book your fall remodel in late summer. Our schedule fills up quickly once the weather cools down.
Winter brings frozen pipe risk. The pipes in older San Gabriel Heights homes are often in exterior walls with poor insulation. A frozen pipe can burst and flood the bathroom.
Tip
Let faucets drip during hard freezes and open the cabinet doors under the sink. If you are remodeling, add pipe insulation while the walls are open.
