Bathroom remodeling in Lake Highlands' ranch homes
Lake Highlands is largely single-story ranch homes, and their original hall baths and small masters are some of the most common bathrooms we remodel in Dallas.
D&T Contractor Services remodels bathrooms in Lake Highlands from its Bryan St service office. The neighborhood is largely ranch homes, which often need pipe and subfloor work when a bathroom is opened up, so the common jobs are hall bath conversions, master bath updates, full remodels with new plumbing, and floors repaired where old leaks have done damage.
Lake Highlands bathrooms
Lake Highlands, northeast of White Rock Lake, is mostly single-story ranch houses with a hall bath, a small master bath and sometimes a half bath. Many have been updated cosmetically over the years, but the plumbing and subfloor underneath are often original.
Families here frequently remodel to stay: making the hall bath work for children, then the master for the long term.
Ranch homes and what is under them
Lake Highlands is largely ranch homes, one of the housing types that most often needs pipe and subfloor work during a bathroom remodel. Dallas homes on Blackland clay also often need the subfloor reinforced before a tub is replaced. In practice, that means a Lake Highlands bathroom remodel should be planned with some allowance for what is found when the old tub and tile come out.
What we find in Lake Highlands bathrooms
When a Lake Highlands hall bath is opened, the common findings are galvanized or early copper supply lines, cast iron drains, and a subfloor around the tub or toilet that has softened from a slow leak. We replace what is damaged and update the plumbing while the walls are open, so the new tile does not hide an old problem.
The most common remodel is converting the hall bath tub to a walk-in shower or replacing the tub and surround over proper backer board, and updating the small master with a better shower, vanity and storage.
Many ranch homes also have exhaust fans that vent into the attic or no fan at all, and we replace them with a properly vented fan as part of the remodel.
