Vintage & Older Homes
Questions about bathroom remodeling in older homes, including common issues like cast iron plumbing, uneven floors, limited ventilation, and tight layouts.

Yes, we frequently work in historic neighborhoods like East Sacramento (95819), Land Park, and Curtis Park. These areas often feature homes from the 1920s to 1960s, and we understand the care needed to update them appropriately.
Start by scheduling a consultation. We’ll walk through your space, discuss your goals, and develop a customized plan that respects the home’s architecture while meeting your needs for comfort, efficiency, and style.
Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks depending on the home’s condition and scope of work. Older homes may require additional time for structural adjustments or custom craftsmanship.
Remodeling bathrooms in vintage homes often involves outdated plumbing, non-standard framing, or structural issues hidden behind walls. Our team specializes in identifying and resolving these problems early—ensuring the remodel runs smoothly and meets modern building codes.
A pony wall is a short, partial-height wall commonly found in older homes, often used to separate bathroom fixtures or house plumbing. While they once served practical purposes, pony walls can make bathrooms feel closed off or outdated. During bathroom remodels, they’re often removed to improve layout, increase usable space, and allow for modern upgrades like continuous countertops or dual-sink vanities.
This bathroom had remained untouched for decades. We transformed it into a modern, functional space while honoring the home’s 1940s character with thoughtful design, period-friendly finishes, and expert craftsmanship.
We recommend timeless options like cast-iron tubs, tiled alcove showers, and fixtures with classic lines. Our design team helps you choose pieces that reflect your home’s history while ensuring lasting durability.
ADA Bathroom
FAQs for homeowners planning an ADA-friendly bathroom remodel, including accessibility layouts, comfort-height fixtures, curbless showers, grab bar blocking, and slip-resistant flooring.
Yes, accessible bathrooms can absolutely look modern and well-designed. Today’s materials, fixtures, and layouts make it easier than ever to blend accessibility with style. Clean tile lines, coordinated finishes, and thoughtful lighting all contribute to a polished appearance.
Because we plan accessibility features from the beginning, they integrate naturally into the design. Grab bars, open showers, and accessible vanities no longer stand out as separate elements. The finished bathroom feels cohesive and welcoming rather than clinical.
In most cases, homeowners can remain in their homes during an ADA bathroom remodel. We plan construction carefully to reduce inconvenience. Clean job sites and respectful work practices help maintain a safe environment.
If special accommodations are needed, we discuss them in advance. This planning allows homeowners to feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. Many clients appreciate this level of consideration.
Most residential bathrooms do not need to meet full ADA code requirements. Those standards were created for public and commercial buildings. In a private home, accessibility usually focuses on practical use rather than strict measurements. Our team helps you decide which ADA principles make sense for your situation.
We often recommend a customized approach that improves safety and mobility without overbuilding. This flexibility allows the bathroom to remain comfortable and visually appealing. Homeowners benefit from accessibility features that support daily life rather than unnecessary technical requirements.
Any remodel involves some level of disruption, but careful planning helps minimize it. We create clear schedules and prepare the home before construction begins. Protective coverings, dust control, and organized work zones remain standard practice.
Daily communication also helps homeowners plan around the work. Many clients continue living in their homes throughout the remodel. When accessibility is a concern, we discuss temporary solutions to maintain comfort during construction.
Timelines vary based on the scope of work and existing conditions. A focused accessibility upgrade may take a few weeks, while a full bathroom remodel typically takes longer. Design planning, material lead times, and inspections all influence the schedule.
During the consultation, we provide a realistic timeline based on your project. Clear expectations help homeowners prepare and reduce stress. Our goal is to complete the remodel efficiently without compromising quality.
