Bathroom remodeling in West Asheville
Small bathrooms, generous character, and a lot of 5 by 8 hall baths that have never been touched since the house was built.
01
What the houses in West Asheville are like
West Asheville is where our tub-to-shower conversion work concentrates. The typical Malvern Hills bungalow has a single 5 by 8 bathroom with an alcove tub, a wall-hung basin and no storage at all. Converting the tub and building a shallow recessed cabinet transforms how the room works without moving a wall.
Ventilation is the other recurring issue. Many of these houses have a fan that vents into the attic or nothing at all, which is how you get the black speckling along the ceiling line. Every West Asheville project we take on gets a properly ducted fan terminating through the roof or soffit.
Because footprints are small, layout drawing matters more here than anywhere else. A half inch of tile alignment is visible in a room this size.

What we usually fix in West Asheville
Every neighbourhood has its own recurring problem. These are the four we budget for here before we even see the room.
Ventilation corrections
Fans re-ducted to the exterior, sized to room volume and run on a timer.
Recessed storage
Shallow cabinets built between studs where there is no floor area to spare.
Subfloor repair
Soft decking around the toilet flange is common in houses of this age.

What clients nearby said
Nine days, exactly as quoted. The toilet came out and went back the same afternoon so we were never without it.

Schedule questions
If yours is not here, call the studio. We would rather answer it now than have you guess.
Nine to twelve days for a conversion, three to five weeks for a full remodel, four to seven weeks for a larger ensuite. You get a week-by-week schedule at the pre-construction meeting and a photo update every Friday.
Yes, and we plan around it. We sequence the toilet so you lose it for a single day rather than the whole project, and we can arrange a temporary unit for the days when the floor is open.
We build a sealed dust wall at the doorway, run a negative-air machine while we demolish, cover the route from your front door, and vacuum at the end of every day. It is a construction site, but it stays contained to one room.
The crew arrives at 8 am and packs up by 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday. We do not work weekends unless you ask us to, and we never start early without agreeing it with you first.
