Bathroom remodeling in Red Bird and southwest Dallas
Red Bird is a neighborhood of long-time homeowners in well-kept single-family houses, and many of those houses are due for their first full bathroom update.
D&T Contractor Services remodels bathrooms in Red Bird and southwest Dallas from its Bryan St service office. The area is mostly single-family homes from the 1960s into the 1980s, owned by people who have lived in them a long time, so the common jobs are master bath updates, walk-in showers, accessible bathrooms for aging in place, and tub replacements.
Red Bird bathrooms
Red Bird, around the airport and the old Red Bird Mall site in southwest Dallas, is mostly single-family houses from the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s on quiet curving streets, many of them in the same hands for decades.
Owners here tend to remodel to stay, and often with an eye on the years ahead: a walk-in shower with a seat instead of a tub, grab bars that are actually anchored, and a floor that is not slippery when wet.
Single-family and owner-occupied
In ZIP 75232, the heart of Red Bird, about 70% of occupied homes are owner-occupied and about 82% of housing units are single-family houses. A City of Dallas neighborhood plan for Red Bird also found most of its housing in better than average condition. Houses that have been looked after this well usually need a bathroom update, not a rescue.
What we find in Red Bird bathrooms
A Red Bird master bath from the 1970s typically has a tub-shower combination or a fiberglass shower stall, a laminate vanity and a vinyl or small-tile floor. The structure is usually sound, which keeps the remodel focused on the finishes and the shower itself.
Accessibility is a frequent part of the conversation. A curbless or low-curb shower, a built-in or fold-down seat, a handheld shower on a slide bar and properly anchored grab bars make the bathroom safer without making it look clinical.
Where a tub is still wanted, we replace it with a new tub and surround over cement board, often with a grab bar on the long wall and a slip-resistant floor.
