What We Run Into in Parkville Bathrooms
Parkville is not one kind of house. Three eras make up most of the housing here, and each one tends to remodel differently.
- 1990s and 2000s builds in Riss Lake, The National, Thousand Oaks, Creekside and River Hills. Bigger footprints, generally sound plumbing, dated finishes. In many primary baths, a jetted corner tub and a small stand-up shower share a wall, and the owner wants one great shower instead of two cramped wet areas.
- 1960s to 1980s ranches and split-levels in the older subdivisions closer to Highway 9 and downtown. Smaller hall baths, often original tub surrounds, and occasionally an older tile job with no waterproofing membrane behind it.
- A small pocket of historic homes downtown near Main Street and Park University. Plaster walls, irregular framing, and plumbing that may have been patched more than once. These call for a careful demo and an honest conversation about what the walls will allow.
We figure out which one you have at the consultation, not on day two of demo.
